in youre first page make a redirect to forum directory
Example:
youre Web root directory
http://youresite.com/~myhome/
youre Forum directory:
http://youresite.com/~myhome/phpBB

In the file http://youresite.com/~myhome/index.php

<?
header("Location: http://youresite.com/~myhome/phpBB/index.php"); 
?>

phpBB (this forum) you may get from http://www.phpbb.com I'm don't think what you have a problem with installation.
Good Luck!

I understand what you do somthing wrong.
1) Question: Do you have access to any SQL DataBase Engine like MySQL PostgreSQL or somthing else?
Try put into public_html > index.php string like:

<li> 
<a href="http://www.bravejournal.com">
<img src="http://images.bravenet.com/common/images/journal/search.gif" border="0" align="absmiddle"> Journal Community</a>
</li>

put this string:

<li>
<a href="http://kanaba.bravejournal.com/phpbb/index.php" </a>
</li>

<li> <a href="http://www.bravenet.com/webtools/journal/index.php"><img src="http://images.bravenet.com/common/images/journal/signup.gif" border="0" align="absmiddle"> Get a Free Journal</a> </li>

Try to find in the phpbb site, a mod to create new pages to the forum. I´ve used it and i think it´s a great idea for your case!
You´ll only need to insert the content on the pages!
