OK I installed OX with no problems.
so my folder structure looks like
/public_html/ << Oxwall stored here
I create a dir called forums
so we have
/public_html/forums/
In the forums I ftp phpbb3, I create a db but when I goto install phpbb3 I get a 404 error generated within oxwall.
If I remove .htaccess it looks like the install in phpbb3 goes ahead but now my oxwall installation doesnt work.
Any ideas? I am feeling the .htaccess is a bit restrictive. I don't know much about the file. Can anyone help....? pleeeeese

It happens because Oxwall's .htaccess is placed on the site's root directory and it catches all queries. You need to add an exception in .htaccess to don't touch queries , directed to /forum folder.
To do so, in .htaccess file, find this code:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/index.php
and after it, add this:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/forum*
