If you can run PHP pages and mysql on your server have a look at phpBB. This can be downloaded from
It's easy to set up and use.

P.S. to see if php is installed try this :-
1. Make sure PHP is installed and configured on your server, you can do this by creating a file called hpinfo.php (or .php3) on your web server. This file should contain the following code:
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
This should, if PHP is installed correctly, produce a nicely formatted diagnostic page that gives you ALOT of information about the current status of PHP on your system. Make sure this page contains a section entitled 'MySQL', if it does, you're ready to continue. If this section does not
exist then you will have to contact your system administrator and have him/her reconfigure PHP with MySQL support. If you are the system administrator and don't know how to do this please see the PHP manual section on installation:
