Problems with installation

[tris]

Hi

Can I first say that I am really impressed with this modded version of phpbb3.

I am however having problems with my installation
I have unzipped the file created the database and im[ported the sql file, editied the config.php file uploaded it to my forum directory (well my test forum directory as I want to fiddle about with it first)

Code: Select all

http://www.tshirts-4u.org.uk/forum

verified that it all uploaded and I go to the directory and I got nothing but a notice saying page can't be found
I looked at the permissions and checked them and config.php was wrong so I changed that and now I get a 403 forbidden message,

I have tried this on 3 different servers all to the same result can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

Looking at the 404, it appears the config file is still not correct or the files are in a seperate directory to /forum

I have double checked it everything from the upload directory in the zip file is in the /forum folder and I have edited the config file (I have removed the password for obvious reasons) as follows

Code: Select all

<?php
// phpBB 3.0.x auto-generated configuration file
// Do not change anything in this file!
$dbms = 'mysql';
$dbhost = 'localhost';
$dbport = '';
$dbname = 'tshirtsu_mod';
$dbuser = 'tshirtsu_forum';
$dbpasswd = '**********';

$table_prefix = 'phpbb_';
$acm_type = 'file';
$load_extensions = '';

@define('PHPBB_INSTALLED', true);
// @define('DEBUG', true);
// @define('DEBUG_EXTRA', true);
?>

So you put all the files in that upload directory in the forum directory?

Yeah the whole contents of that upload directory are in the forum directory

I can't see it on the server

Code: Select all

looks like there are a lot of files missing from the /forum directory including the config.php

Yeah I'm just re-uploading it right now
what was interesting was I tried re-editing config.php and made a mistake on the my sql file and I got the PHPBB3 warning message about a fault, when I corrected it I got a blank screen again

so I have deleted it and edited it again on my comp and re-uploading it

ok we'll see what happens when you upload everything!

that is all uploaded and same problem

I am wondering if it's a problem with my connection affecting the upload?

I tried to download the portal edition and it claimed to complete the download in a couple of seconds leaving me with an invalid zip file,
could this be affecting my upload as well

Not sure what you mean, it will either download the file or it won't. The problem you are having is bound to be something very simple, it's just finding out what and not being able to see the files on the server makes it hard to think what could be up.

if you or someone could tell me how to allow people to see the files on my server then I will do that but I don't know how to do it


With the downloads I can download the forum version but when I try to download the portal one I just get a small corrupted zip file that won't open

[tris]

I have edited the config file so it isn't right
instead of a blank page I get a general error

General Error
SQL ERROR [ mysql4 ]

Access denied for user 'tshirtsu_foru'@'localhost' (using password: YES) [1045]

An sql error occurred while fetching this page. Please contact an administrator if this problem persists.

I don't know if that helps

That means the config file is wrong or there is an incorrect setting on the database.

You have imported the sql file into the same database that is on the config?
