Hello

Check below-

Install phpBB

1. Download and unzip phpBB:
   
   wget https://www.phpbb.com/files/release/phpBB-3.3.9.zip unzip phpBB-3.3.9.zip
2. Move phpBB to your web directories:
   
   sudo mv phpBB3 /var/www/html/site1-forum sudo mv phpBB3 /var/www/html/site2-forum
3. Set permissions:
   
   sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/site1-forum sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/site2-forum sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/site1-forum sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/site2-forum

2. Configure Apache Virtual Hosts

1. Create virtual host files:
   
   For Site 1:
   
   sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/site1.conf apache
   
   <VirtualHost *:80> DocumentRoot /var/www/html/site1-forum ServerName site1.com <Directory /var/www/html/site1-forum> AllowOverride All Require all granted </Directory> </VirtualHost>
   For Site 2:
   
   sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/site2.conf apache
   
   <VirtualHost *:80> DocumentRoot /var/www/html/site2-forum ServerName site2.com <Directory /var/www/html/site2-forum> AllowOverride All Require all granted </Directory> </VirtualHost>
2. Enable and reload:
   
   sudo a2ensite site1.conf sudo a2ensite site2.conf sudo systemctl reload apache2

3. Create Databases

1. Log into MySQL:
   
   mysql -u root -p
2. Create databases and users:
   
   CREATE DATABASE site1_forum_db; CREATE DATABASE site2_forum_db; CREATE USER 'site1_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password1'; CREATE USER 'site2_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password2'; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON site1_forum_db.* TO 'site1_user'@'localhost'; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON site2_forum_db.* TO 'site2_user'@'localhost'; FLUSH PRIVILEGES; EXIT;

4. Install phpBB

1. Access http://site1.com and http://site2.com and follow the phpBB installation wizard.
2. Delete the install directory after setup:
   
   sudo rm -rf /var/www/html/site1-forum/install sudo rm -rf /var/www/html/site2-forum/install

5. Configure phpBB

1. Log into the Admin Control Panel for each forum to configure settings.

You would have to setup two forums in every public_html for both domains.

Not really CloudLinux related question, but anyway
