Topic: PHORUM INSTALLATION

[Chaloner Hale]

I am interested in installing phorum-3.2.11 or phorum-3.3.RC1 on SME V5. I first tried the stable version and ran into problems at the end. So I scrapped that idea and went on to the development version and ended up running smack into the same problem.

In both cases, I ended up with an error "./english" not found. So I started to experiment. I first tried copying english.php to my iBay html root directory. No luck. I tried making a directory called english and placing english.php inside it. No luck. Then after removing all previous attempts, I copied english.php to my iBay html root directory and named it english.

Now it appears to be working! Any ideas where I went wrong??? So far, it seems to be working just fine, yet I have only made a few test posts.

I have a similar problem and put it down to a bug in 3.2.11. Warning: Failed opening './eng' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/share/php') in /home/e-smith/files/ibays/forums/html/common.php on line 347. I got around it by editing 1.php in /admin/forums/. Change $ForumLang='eng'; to $ForumLang=''; i.e leave it blank. That fixes the problem until the next time I have to make administrative changes and save.

I copied english.php to my root html ibay directory as english, dropping the .php extension. This worked.
