phpbb2 not saving settings.

Andrew Hruska · August 21st, 2003

phpbb2 ( 2.0.6 ) is not saving ANY settings i select in the Admin. CP on my website. Also, it looks like it doesn't do anything after i log on, but after selecting profile, it works. I'm running MySQL 4.0.14b, phpBB2 2.0.6, Xitami 2.5b5, on my K6-2 computer which i named my new web server. how can i fix it? my site is at http://www.nicedude455.cjb.net/ . Have a popup blocker on.

Also, can anybody tell me the site for free .tk redirecting?

I'm not too familiar with phpbb since i use invisionboard. If you are curious you can see how it functions by clicking on the link in my signature.

As far as redirecion, have you thought of just getting a dynamic dns? If you go to http://www.dyndns.org/ you can have a url that point to your server no matter what you IP may be. Now, I'm only saying this because I don't know if you IP changes or not. When I used the service it worked flawlessly. I heard the dot tk thing spawns a popup. As far as know http://www.dyndns.org/ does not.

You could always pay for a domain name but that's a lot of headache.

Also, the site did not load for me. I guess you were rebooting or something. :/

The site dosnt load for me either. I may suggest that you havnt chmod'd all of your files correctly, thus not having permissions to write to the config files on your server.

edit: as for .tk. Just type in www.tk . It is down atm.

Andrew Hruska · August 21st, 2003

it crashed after i went to bed. It hates me

Reichfuher: yeah, that's all that needed fixed, had to use Gentoo though to change the permissions

EDIT:Oh, wait, it didn't work..

RF · August 21st, 2003

I dont know about server side, but most ftp programs have some sort of chmod support built in.

Andrew Hruska · August 21st, 2003

i think i fixed it, i changed every last file in the phpbb2 directory to no r-o, which was messing it up. Also, i have to use Mozilla to get it to update correctly, which isn't a big problem, but Mozilla 1.4 is a memory hog

on top of that, i'm runnin kazaa kpp+, AIM, mySQL CC, and the server.

RF · August 21st, 2003

your .cjb still isnt working tho.

Andrew Hruska · August 21st, 2003

it is now. Anyways, it only let me change the settings one time :cuss2:.. so.. what should i do? i added just the nintendo emulators and xbx emus, i plan on adding a whole bunch more catagories and probably 100 more forums

ok.. an exageration..

Utils · August 21st, 2003

It's not loading dude. Are you behind a router?

And if you plan to have a large community, you may want to try invisionboard instead. And if you have money maybe vb. But the fact that ib is free (w/o support) doesn't mean it's bad. In fact, I believe VB and IB are at the top of the imaginary list of bulliten boards. I should start a news thread for this.

Andrew Hruska · August 21st, 2003

well, the cable company has been picky about me and web servers. They forced me to use a Motorola Surfboard modem and a ****ing router for only 2 computers. HAVE THEY EVER HEARD OF A CROSSOVER CABLE??? i want to kill them. Yeah, i am

. I'm going to try invision board..
http://24.210.194.9/phpbb2/index.php is the board if cjb is not working.

No :[

What kind of router do you have? Try this: go into your router's online configuration and see if you can enable port forwarding for port 80, then set it to forward incoming port 80 packets to your computer's local IP address (see winipcfg or type ipconfig in a commandline to see what the router assigned for your computer).

Andrew Hruska · August 21st, 2003

ugh.. its a bad Microsuck router... they won't let me use anything else ( they can detect whatrouter i'm using, and invasion of privacy! ).. i'm gonna hurt them.. and it has settings for that, but on all of my computers, i cannot get into the BSMT, so i can't change it. #*&^(%!s.

Utils · August 21st, 2003

Dude, Use whatever you want. Did they record the MAC or something?

Andrew Hruska · August 22nd, 2003

yeah, and the modem records everything i do too. I have to use dial-up just to download files because of my paranoid cable company. I'm getting a new cable modem soon anyways. I'll have to hack into the BSMT somehow, or find a host. But i don't like to pay for PHP and stuff. Anyways, with Xitami, i have pratcally unlimited space and support for mysql, php, etc.
