on Plesk VPS Fedora Linux

(J.Jeronimus okt 2006)
With the installation described below and (see install.txt in phorum-5.1.16.a.tar.gz ) Phorem started working
However there are still some questions.

(
install.txt = document_root/docs/install.txt

In my text I prefer to use
     phorum_url     ( =  phorum url )
     document_root  ( =  document root ))
