I am looking to learn a bit about PHP and MySQL by creating an imageboard. I found some good software to use (Wakaba) but I am a little lost on what to do with it. I am more of a HW person and little experiance in acualy managing web apps. I have my DB setup and the CNAME recored has been added. I am just not sure how I go about installing the board software.

What's your webserver?
The software should come with instructions. Assuming you have PHP and MYSQL running, basically you need to do the following:
1.) Format and setup your database and tables.
2.) Configure the scripts so that they know where the database is and what name/password to use to get in.
I've never set up Wakaba, so I don't have any idea what the install is like, sorry.
If you use a paying host, ask them for help installing it - it is their job to help you.
Actually I am the host (I work for them anyway). Thanks for the guide, though. It will help. I just found out that my SQL database is NOT set up yet, so I am going to have to wait for them to activate it.
