[PAID] Install Discourse on Plesk and import phpBB data

I’m not sure what the topic you linked to has to do with what you’re trying to do. The standard install instructions are here: https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md.

I recommend against trying to use Discourse with Plesk, though here are some instructions: Installing Discourse With Plesk Onyx (Ubuntu 14.04). For $99, I’ll install Discourse on its own Digital Ocean droplet. (+ $50 to turn on https, if you want me to do it for you). I’d not install it on Plesk for less than $500.

Migrating your data to Discourse is a whole other kettle of fish, but it’s well documented: Importing from phpBB3. For an estimate one would need to know how many users and posts your forum has. I typically charge $500-1000 for an import, depending on size and how much help you want handling the transition.
