I already have WordPress on my site, is it safe to run phpbb also, or will they conflict?

Thanks in advance

It is perfectly safe to run both applications on your account. You should however place the phpBB application into another folder, different from the folder of the WordPress, as if they are in the same folder, they might conflict.

If you install in different folder, and keep your phpBB up to date, you should not have any problems :)

If you wanted to combine the two applications seemlessly there are good tutorials and phpbbhacks that allow it. Simple php include statements work would do it as well if you dropped them into tables. Remember to put all of your varible and require statements at the top of the code.

(I hope that made some sense.)
