Mod for different Forum for lighttpd?

Is there anyway to change the forum used in the PirateBox, maybe replace it with another PHP based forum or a PHP/FlatFile based forum or even add a PHP/FlatFile based article database like TextPress?

Has someone already tried this? I only post this as I am 'intermediate' as far as PHP programming and such, however I am very new to pirate box.

Thanks, Rich

The current PirateBox version doesn't support PHP out of the box. (PirateBox was aiming at inexpensive hardware (MR3020,MR3040), however these are often quite weak and were not meant for running modern websites)
If you just want a forum you can take a look at Mods/OpenWRT

If you want to run PHP on OpenWRT regardless, or on a Raspberry (easier), then it is possible, and there is a guide in the Mods section on the website. After having PHP installed it is simply a matter of setting up a website of your liking including any PHP forum. I don't know TextPress, but I'm quite sure you just have to copy it into the www directory and make a link to the index.php file from the home page.

Ubuntuhak, playing and tinkering with Ubuntu!

Thanks so much for the response and the link, and yes I will be running it on a Pi2 or Pi3... I shall have to start the research.
