error when account created

[Goofster]

when creating an account i get this nasty message

1054 Unknown column 'group_description' in 'field list'
in:
[INSERT INTO phpbb_groups (group_name, group_description, group_single_user, group_moderator) VALUES (0, 'Personal User', 1, 0)]


and when i go back to the site, the account is logged in

is phpBB3 just not working with zen cart?? i am not sure why phpBB is causing this error when creating an account with zen cart.

Try this (worked for me (phpbb3)):

I just wanted to share a couple things I've discovered, which stop the zencart linkage to PHPBB from working correctly:

1. The parser in zencart that reads the phpbb config.php file expects everything to be left justified with no spaces or tabs. My file was nicely formatted and the zencart parser failed to read it. Delete all the leading whitespace from the config.php file.

2. There were some missing entries in my phpbb/config.php file that I had to add:

$users_table = 'users' ;
$user_group_table = 'user_group' ;
$groups_table = 'groups' ;
$config_table = 'config' ;


the final config.php file looks like this:

<?php
$dbms = 'mysql' ;
$dbhost = 'localhost' ;
$dbname = 'fill this in with the db name' ;
$dbuser = 'fill this in with the db admin user' ;
$dbpasswd = 'fill this in with the db admin password' ;
$table_prefix = 'phpbb_' ;
$users_table = 'users' ;
$user_group_table = 'user_group' ;
$groups_table = 'groups' ;
$config_table = 'config' ;
define ( 'PHPBB_INSTALLED' , TRUE ) ;
?>

Hope that helps for anyone still having problems.
