Topic: phpBB2 on SME5.6

[Alexander]

true.

It just needs for installation. afterwards you can make it read-only.

Maybe phpbb needs "register globals on" in php...
Please check that.
Second check that the php include-dirs allow to read from teh ibays html-directory....

Dan, first of all..thank  you for all the help you provide..I dove into esmith/linux a year ago and have that box doing stuff I never could have imagined.

Now for the problem.... I just installed phpbb2 per your dox..all went great except when I click on the login link, enter UN and PW and submit it..i'll get a page not found error... I can then click my back button and it obviously accepted my logon credentials as I can admin the site..

Same goes for if a new user registers.  He/she will receive the confirm email and when the link is clicked.... page not found.

I will greatly appreciate your help once again.  This forum looks very nice..  One more question while I have your attention.  Once I get this working....can I easily have different forums per ibay/domain? Or is it one 'per server'.

CORRECTION..the error is not PAGE NOT FOUND.. it is "THE PAGE CAN NOT BE DISPLAYED."

THANK YOU.

Well, IE's "the page can not be displayed" message is pretty useless.  Do you have another browser you can try with?  Personally, I use Mozilla for most of my web-browsing needs.  When there's an error, it's a bit more informative about what actually happened (or didn't happen).

On the second question, it should be possible to have multiple installations.  They'll need to be in separate directories, of course, and you'd want to make separate databases for each of them, but I don't see why there'd be a problem otherwise.

Hi, sorry to be a pain as I suspect this might be obvious although I cant see it (looking too hard ?)

My SME is set up for sync with a time server and does so nicely.

(Europe/London)

My phpBB2 however reports the time as GMT but its one hour behind ?

Have looked through both SME and phpBB2 config pages and cant see
what I have / am doing wrong ?

Any help appreciated.

ps Any final agreement on how best to set permissions on config.php ?

pps phpBB2 worked fine for me on fresh install of 5.6 u5
