Configuring Zen To Work With Phpbb

[DrByte]

well, based on reading your configure.php file, I'd suggest that you

define('DIR_WS_PHPBB', '/var/www/html/phpBB2/');

However, in attempting to access your phpBB by manually keying the URL, I get "not found" or "unable to load page" errors. .... so, does your PHPBB installation even exist?
If so, what is the URL for it?

I believe that is where the problem comes in hand. My index page is renamed in my phpBB2 files. here is the link to the forums:
www.alliwire.com/phpBB2/forumindex.php

Why ?

[alliwire]

just because that is the way we set everything up to track files we have too many index.php files and that is just the way we did it. can we fix this problem?

[DrByte]

open
/includes/classes/sniffer.php

Around line 50, you'll see:

   $debug1=false;

TEMPORARILY change that to

   $debug1=true;

Then open your Zen store in a browser.

Then quickly go back and change the setting to false again so that all that important info isn't shown to the whole world.

Then use that output to find out what stage it's failing at.

You can even post the output here ... just blank-out the passwords for your own protection.

ok here is what happened:

dir=/phpBB2/
link_enabled_admin_status=true
FAILURE: phpBB NOT activated


Warning: session_start(): Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output started at /var/www/html/includes/classes/sniffer.php:58) in /var/www/html/includes/functions/sessions.php on line 111

Warning: session_start(): Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /var/www/html/includes/classes/sniffer.php:58) in /var/www/html/includes/functions/sessions.php on line 111

The "cannot send headers" part is a result of us displaying debug text ... so it can be ignored.


was there "nothing" else shown between the "dir=..." and the "link_enabled_admin" part ?

If not, then it's not finding the "...../phpBB2/config.php" file.

What is the exact path to the config.php file for your phpBB installation?

[alliwire]

what I posted is what it gave me.

here is my path to the config: /var/www/html/phpBB2/config.php

www.alliwire.com/phpBB2/config.php

BTW, you will need to make this change for the forum link (when it "does" work for you) to be valid:

/includes/filenames.php

 define('FILENAME_BB_INDEX', 'index.php'); // phpBB main index filename

... change "index.php" to "forumindex.php".

[DrByte]

I'm sure I've asked this before, but what happens when you set this in your /includes/configure.php file?

define('DIR_WS_PHPBB', '/var/www/html/phpBB2/');

If the forum link doesn't appear, turn on the debugging for a moment again and post the results again.
