Need help configuring phpBB

[defkiss]

ok, phpBB linkage is definitely enabled in Admin>my store.

here is the code from the configure.php file I have

  define('DIR_WS_PHPBB', '/home/vstore/public_html/vforum/');

// * DIR_FS_* = Filesystem directories (local/physical)
  //the following path is a COMPLETE path to your Zen Cart files. eg: /var/www/vhost/accountname/public_html/store/
  define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home/vstore/public_html/');

I've also tried just using '/vforum/' too and that doesn't work either.

My store is in the root public_html and my phpBB is in a subdirectory of that called 'vforum'

Thank you!!!

Try this:

  define('DIR_WS_PHPBB', 'vforum/');

hmm, no this didn't work either, i also tried

define('DIR_WS_PHPBB', 'home/vstore/public_html/vforum/');

which didn't work either... could it be something wrong with one of the files used to define the name and/or path to phpBB??

thanks

I got it to work now. For the record:

I changed configure.php content from:

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/');

to:
define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/usr/home/ug17p1/htdocs/shop/');

I also noticed I was having trouble uploading the newly adjusted configure.php file since the original version on the server was CHMODed "444" (for security reasons). So I first had to change the CHMOD for the server version to "744", THEN I uploaded the modified version, and there was no problem at all. (Make sure to change it back to 444 after uploading).

Now the Information box on my front page magically has a "forum" link in it. Pluse the new user registration page in ZC has an additional field for entering a "Forum Nick Name" to be used in the forum.

I hate to change what works but the following is the normal notation:

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/');

to:
define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/shop/');
