Thanks so much folks, I installed phpBB on the new machine (in a Forum folder) and all went well. They are serious about deleting the Install folder though.
I had no problem getting to it from another PC in my house but I figured I'd open it to some friends and ran into trouble port forwarding. I'm assuming it's port 80 but didn't get that far because my Xfinity router/gateway won't let me port forward, it has to be done from the app. Hmm. Except the app won't let me do it, the option does nothing. 2 hours of chat and support calls later Comcast tells me that the router needs an update and it will be done in two days. We'll see. But the forum is working fine.
