Title: phpBB Install
Post by: jon on October 12, 2023, 01:16:47 AM
About 15 (or maybe 20???) years ago, Dan Brown wrote a step by step How To to install phpBB 2.x on SME Server 7.x     Obviously, both products have been obsoleted. I can't find the old How To for phpBB in the current documentation.  I want to use SME10.1 and and install phpBB 3.3 in an info bay.  I would be happy to update the How To and add any insights I have - but I need the old How To as a start.  Does anyone have Dan's How To for this contrib?   

Also, the old RPM for phpBB is here:   http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/releases/7/smecontribs/i386/RPMS/smeserver-phpbb-2.0.22-2.el4.sme.noarch.rpm  but it is 404.   Does anyone have the correct URL for this? 

Any help would be appreciated. 

Thanx

Is this it?

https://wiki.koozali.org/PhpBB

and there seems to be a version of smeserver-phpBB in CVS for SME7 and also for SME8.

However I can't build the full rpm due to the lack of the correct cfg file on my build system, however it did manage to build the the src rpm.

Here it is:

Brian - thanx for this.  I'll see what I can do with it and let you know.

Merci Jean-Philippe.   Now, about that elusive How To?

that one ?

seems that Dan Brown has removed the version from his own website.

Yup - I thought at one point this was also officially in the SME How To's but maybe not...
