Any complaints?
How can I tranfer my Phpbb forum to Phpwebsite? Is it possible at all? How much more mySQl space will I need ?
How can I do this without hurting or disturbing my present forum?

i'm not sure if this is possible, may i ask why you are wanting to change to phpwebsite, i assume it is a CMS (content management system) with a phpbb forum included and you would like to swop over all your posts and members, i thinks the only way to do this is manually swop data using phpmyadmin, i am not totally sure how much work this would entail, but it is probably a very big job.

OR - you could do as I have done. I am using phpwebsite for a subdomain, and I simply did not include the forum module that comes with phpweb, but instead added a link to my existing phpbb forum.
Just a thought that might save you a lot of work.

yes that is what I've been thinking as well.
How much Mysql would I need to buy ? 1 or 2?
My main concern is the security aspect of phpwebsite as I keep reading about how insecure it is

I did buy an extra database for phpweb....but it was more for my peace of mind than a real need. Right now I have three sudomains with a phpweb on each of them running off of one db. You just have to make sure that you give a new prefix to your tables with each instance of phpweb.
I have also been using the Branch manager part of phpweb to create those instances. So far it is working pretty well - but I don't have any customization, other than to disallow the use of all of the modules that phpweb has. Mine are pretty basic.

I'm not sure I understand exactly what you mean. Normally, your index.html page would be the first page people would see. Do you mean you want that page to be a phpweb created page?

If you are installing phpwebsite with Fantastico. One of the first things it asks during the installation is where you want it installed. If you want it in a diffeent place/folder, you need to enter a name of a folder that does not exist and the installer will create that folder and place phpwebsite files in that folder. If you want phpwebsite to be the main index.html as you stated - do NOT enter a name there. Fantastico will place your phpwebsite in the correct place whiich is in your public_html folder.
If you are doing a manual install of phpwebsite, place all of your files inside your public_html folder. I am guessing that you will need to do a manual install because it sounds like you all ready have a forum set up. Fantastico will not install a second script within the same database. This can be done manually though.
