If you did the Easy one-click, you don't have access to the files. You need to do the Advanced one-click to be able to FTP in and look at your files.

In Panel:

Domains > Manage Domains > Add New Domain

Type sub.domain.com in the top field and select the user who will be maintaining it (or create a new user for the task).

Setup a database for the forum to use via:
Goodies > Manage MySQL > Create a new MySQL database

Then proceed with the One-Click Advanced Install.

You can delete forum.domain.com within Panel from Domains > Manage Domains

After it's deleted, wait 10 minutes and then add it again smile


Once that's done you can install phpBB into forum.domain.com by going to Goodies > One-Click Installs > Advanced Mode and follow the instructions.

Not without Panel access I'm afraid.

You could contact Support and tell them what has happened and they'll fix it.

It's not showing up in the Panel under Domains because it was an Easy One-Click. You'll have to go to the Panel and delete that installation:
Goodies -> Modify/Remove previously installed software (easy)

After you follow Scott's instructions you should be able to add forum.domain.com using Manage Domains.

During the Advanced One-Click Installation you can select forum.domain.com from the dropdown list provided.

Go to the panel again: Domains -> Manage Domains
Now click Edit in the Web Hosting column, and you'll get the screen with your Fully Hosted settings. Right above the Google logos you can tell it to Add WWW, Remove WWW, or use both. Select Remove WWW and then save.
