cs3232 Posted February 21, 2004 Posted February 21, 2004 Hi. I just bought a server from tch and I'am having trouble getting my bulletin board to work. Do I have to know php? I know some commands but not much. Anyways I installed bulletin board in cpanel into the forum folder. Now when I access mysite.com/forum I get the "index of forum". There is a link on the bottom called "index.php". Well I clicked the link and I get to the php bulletin board, but I can't make an account. Also I would like the php "login site" to appear not the files of php. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted February 21, 2004 Posted February 21, 2004 First, welcome to the forums, cs3232! I have never installed phpbb but here is a link to Setting up phpbb. Hope that gives you some help. Quote
ThumpAZ Posted February 21, 2004 Posted February 21, 2004 Welcome to the Family!! I have nothing more to input on this issue as I have not used the service, and Bruce gave you the only thing I could have pointed you toward. If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask! -GG Quote
TCH-Dick Posted February 21, 2004 Posted February 21, 2004 Whats the URL for your phpbb installation? Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted February 21, 2004 Posted February 21, 2004 What version of phpbb is installed from cPanel? Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted February 22, 2004 Posted February 22, 2004 If anyone else wants to know the version of phpBB that is currently in cPanel when installed is 2.0.6 I installed it today in my wife's domain and it was a pretty painless operation. Quote
cs3232 Posted February 23, 2004 Author Posted February 23, 2004 Thanks for help. I got it to work after an hour or two "fumbling" with it. Mad!!! But there are some other little things that are not working. When I try to upload an avatar, I get this error.. "Warning: copy(./images/avatars/281006242403963d5b4ac8.png): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/nvsxrpfhv/public_html/forums/includes/usercp_avatar.php on line 227". There are other problems in the board, but I will take one problem at a time. lol. Thanks again for all the help. Thumbs Up Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted February 23, 2004 Posted February 23, 2004 In order to upload avatars make sure you have the path for the avatars set properly. And also make sure the folder has the proper permissions to upload the avatar. Quote
cs3232 Posted February 23, 2004 Author Posted February 23, 2004 The path is correct.. What permissions do I give it? I gave all permissions and still didnt work? Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted February 23, 2004 Posted February 23, 2004 (edited) I have not set the board I created to allow avatars to be uploaded. But the IPB board that I manange I do. The folder permissions had to be set to 777. If you are still unable to get them to upload submit a Help Desk ticket (link at top of page) and I am sure one of the Tech Support guys will help you sort it out.
