You would be better off with MySQL as its so much easier to set up (and faster if my memory serves me correctly). _________________ Andy (AbyssUnderground) (previously The Inquisitor)

I suppose so, but just out curiosity what is that DSN stuff?
I have done some research on ODBC and understand what it does but how would I get it?
And how would I change the permissions for the config.php file, because in the tutorial it only say how to using FTP which I don't need to do as I'm hosting it! So how do I do it? _________________ This signature is getting old

HELP!!!
I had everything running smoothly, the forum was up... and then...
Every time I try to open the phpbb2 folder through the browser, it just opens the folder, and shows me all the subfolders/files! Definitely not good security-wise!

That's because your not accessing the Administrator Interface through the
local machine. You should change the URL in the config.inc.php file to the
URL you wish to access phpMyAdmin from. Example!
Quote: |
Change
$cfg['PmaAbsoluteUri'] = 'http://127.0.0.1/phpMyAdmin';
To
$cfg['PmaAbsoluteUri'] = "http://" . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . "/phpMyAdmin";
|
Note: The changed URL is a small hack to allow any URL to access the
phpMyAdmin interface (Your Website Addresses). |

PHP BB2 is working great with the help of the board this is the first message I had to post, I installd, Abyss 1.0, PHP 5.0, MySQL 4.1 and PHPBB2 using the tutorials and reading Post on the board, but I am stuck with this one small error, when I try the Mass mail function and my confirmation E-mail isn't working, I know I need to put my E-Mail smpt adress and my mail login information somewhere for the server to perform this function but for the life of me I cant figure out how to do this...

You can either put it in the configuration page at the bottom if you intend to use an SMTP server with authentication or in the php.ini if you dont. php.ini method is easier as it applies to all scripts and not just phpBB. phpBB will use the settings only for itself if you put them into its config page. _________________ Andy (AbyssUnderground) (previously The Inquisitor)

In case you haven't already deleted the programs, phpBB does work on PHP 5 and MySQL 5. This is the setup I have running on my development server. _________________ Olly |

I have one more question, but it's considering the abyss server
is there any way to change my url to the forums? like make it www.whateverwhatever.com?
or do i have to use that ip adress?
someone said i need a DNS server/domain, will it still work with phpbb? thanks
EDIT: my phpadmin address isn't working, i did everything correctly but when i put it my address/phpadmin as the tutorial says it says "http 404 not found" why is that?

All you do is buy a domain name from godaddy or lycos etc and link it to your IP address (assuming its static) or to a no-ip/dyndns address (if its dynamic).
You may have problems if you switch to a domain with phpBB. It can cause 404's simply because of the domain name being used and not the IP. _________________ Andy (AbyssUnderground) (previously The Inquisitor)

Ok please help. I got everything installed, MySQL, and everything was going accordingly, PHP everything. Now i did your tutorial on abyssunderground for myphpadmin
well i had a problem, i did everything and i did http://myurlwhatever/phpadmin, and the screen came up accordingly. When i typed in "root" for username, and then my password, a screen came up
"Warning: session_write_close(): open(C:\PHP\sessiondata\sess_be035d3cbbb5e85ec1a7043dc407f79b, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in C:\Program Files\Abyss Web Server\htdocs\phpadmin\index.php on line 44
Warning: session_write_close(): Failed to write session data (files). Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct (C:\PHP\sessiondata) in C:\Program Files\Abyss Web Server\htdocs\phpadmin\index.php on line 44
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at C:\Program Files\Abyss Web Server\htdocs\phpadmin\index.php:44) in C:\Program Files\Abyss Web Server\htdocs\phpadmin\index.php on line 105"
now i can't return to the screen, everytime i type in http://myurlwhatever/phpmyadmin, that screen comes up, and i don't know what to do. Can you please help? thank you!!
also one more question, is there anyway i can find my MySQL username and password? i don't remember what i put in because i've tried this so many times, and i'm trying to remember everything. i'm sure it was root, and that i had a password
can you help? thank you so much!!
EDIT: OK i noticed i included the port in my url, so i took it out, and it took me to this page once i entered http://myurladdress/phpadmin
http://www.files.bz/files/3294/myphpadminerror.JPG
can you tell me what i did wrong? thank you

The simplest way to solve this would be to reinstall everything. You will probably spend more time fault finding than it would to reinstall it all. _________________ Andy (AbyssUnderground) (previously The Inquisitor)

Find the "my.ini" file. It should be in c:\windows or c:\winnt depending on your operating system. It should contain your password. _________________ Andy (AbyssUnderground) (previously The Inquisitor)

You proably can't find it because you installed the installer version of PHP, which
I don't recommend using. Install the Zipped version and it will be easy to install
PHP. AbyssUnderground.co.uk is the new tutorial website for Abyss.
My website will soon be about Mods, Hacks, and other cool stuff you can do
with Abyss Web Server. I will also have some PHP applications on the newer
site. Please follow the tutorials on AbyssUnderground.co.uk.
Sincerely, TRUSTAbyss |

AbyssUnderground and phpBB.
I was able to follow your tutorials, and I was able to get phpbb, working perfectly with a minor problem. People can register however the problem occurs with sending the e-mail register his authorization page.
This is a tutorial than could be very useful, for troubleshooting this problem with in Abyss.
It this requires a mail server program please make suggestions, and how to set it up properly, so that it can be used with an the Abyss framework to work with phpBB. I did not believe that suggesting, something that may cost a little money is necessary a bad thing, as long as it works.
Thank you for your good tutorial. |

You can either install your own mail server (hMailServer I use, its free) or you can use a free smtp relayer which are usually available from your ISP, eg, smtp.yourisp.com. _________________ Andy (AbyssUnderground) (previously The Inquisitor)

Hi AbyssUnderground
Downloaded hmailServer, now I could really use that tutorial, how to set up a mail server for dummies.
I do realize that it does take a lot of time and energy, however at the same time you are also making Abyss, a more viable program.
You are breaking Abyss out of the box it is in. by showing it can work well with other programs. Like Linux, Windows servers, more functionality.
All by the way before I forget, "thank you" once again very much for your help. It is very much appreciate by this dummie, that is wanting and needing to learn. And needs that secure parents hand in order to make it over the rough spots, of insecurity. And ignorance of the program. |

OK, I dont have time to make a detailed tutorial but Ill do my best:
1. Set up DNS A records (or CNAME if you use dyndns/noip) in your domain control panel to point to your IP/dyndns/no-ip. You should change the mail server settings which (in my case) are maildefer and mailspool, pop and smtp. They all need to point to your ip/dyndns/no-ip.
2. Save the settings (remember the upto 72 hours delay on dns changes)
3. Set up your domain in the hMailServer console (its mostly self explanatory) and set up an account (eg, webmaster@whatever.com).
4. Send yourself an email using outlook (as this is what you will use to connect unless you set up a webmail)
5. Check if the mail reaches you. If it does, now test it with gmail/hotmail etc. If not, wait up to 72 hours for dns changes.
NOTE: Not all ISP's allow mail servers to be run and you may have issues related to blacklisted IP's. This means your IP will be black listed in servers for spamming (not necessarily by you) so not all mail may reach you/be sent from you correctly. I suffer from this issue and it cannot be fixed.
Hope this helps. _________________ Andy (AbyssUnderground) (previously The Inquisitor)

I was having the same problem with the "The PHP configuration on your server doesn't support the database type that you chose" for the longest time with another server app, and then I started having it with Abyss, so I used the optimized PHP5 installer for Abyss avaible on this site and it worked perfectly after that. Just follow the guide to install PHP5 to the letter and it'll work.
http://www.aprelium.com/abyssws/php5win.html
Use the download installer for PHP5 here...it works. |

Hi madman1337
May I please be able to ask a dumb question?
In order to keep things understandable for myself and others that are as dumb as I.
To make it very easy you are also talking about the requirements for using, hMailserver. You're saying it requires PHP5, is that right?
Either way thank you, as well for your input.
If we can get is to work for the, phpBB with in Abyss, this will be a big breakthrough, because there are many having the same trouble at phpBB forum.
What I was quoted, this is one of the problems using, "phpBB" on a home server. This statement was made by the same individual more times than 1 to other people as well.
I have been looking for many SMTP software, decided to come here and be able to concentrate the effort towards using one mail server program.
Did you have very many problems when installing, it so where and what did you do? |

ive never used hMail server, I was talking about in phpBB. hMailserver is a seperate server app, and doesn't use PHP. It needs MySQL though, and what I was suggesting was for when it came back with an error that PHP had trouble with the database. So, I doubt that following the PHP guide would help out with hMailserver.
hMail doesn't seem that hard to use...I might use it if I start looking for a mail server, but right now gmail is good enough for me 8)
EDIT:
oh I see what you need PHP for with hMail. Yea, the PHP install guide will help out to get the webmail thing with hMail to work. At least it shuld... _________________

For those of you who are getting this message about the e-mail not working, make sure your e-mail address is setup for SMTP relaying or configure your emailer.php correctly. Not sure how to configure emailer.php though |
