    Linking Phpbb to zen cart

    I have just installed both the zen cart and phpbb on my website. I have changed the config file based on the forum info but still have no link in the zen cart. I am using phpbb 2.0.19 and the most current copy of zen. I have run the sniffer and got all the rigth items except that the line says FAILURE: phpBB Not Activated. Can anyone help. I have about four other sites to do after I get this one working.

    Have you turned on the linkage on the admi->configuration? How did you install your phpbb?

    I had the same problem before but that was because i installed it using Fantastico. If you installed in this way too, it might be because of this as well.

    I used Fantastico to istall both of them. First I tried installing them without it and had a big problem so I went to Fantastico. I have also updated the admin link before posting the question. Thanks for your info on Fantastico.

    Here is my config file:

    ?>


    I hope this will help.

    I don't know what's "special" about the way fantastico installs phpBB, but it seems to leave it in a state that Zen Cart is unable to interpret.

    Installing phpBB from original files manually seems to allow it to work pleasantly with Zen Cart.
