I know that at least one customer has phpbb3 currrently active on the cgi space so it shouldn't be a problem.

I had phpBB3 RC3, 4 & 5 running - forums worked fine but gave up as each one got hijacked and pointed to Turkish site.
Currently running http://www.php-fusion.co.uk/news.php which has survived since 18th Sept.

i just uploaded the phpBB-3.0.RC5.tar.bz2 and attempted to extract it using the 'tar' command, but it says it's not a gzip file - can't now see a gzip version on phpBB.com ?? sure they used to be???
