Re: Config.php?????!!!!?!?!?!
hmm that's weird because i tried that and it said it may be corrupt when i try to complete installation
Re: Config.php?????!!!!?!?!?!
make sure it's a php file and not a config.php.txt file. could you copy and paste the contents of your config file here(without your username and password) so we can check it out please?

Re: Config.php?????!!!!?!?!?!
Hi everybody,
Indeed, I have the same problem...
Here is my config file:
<?php
$db_type = 'mysql';
$db_host = 'localhost';
$db_name = 'stendonnet3';
$db_username = 'stephane';
$db_password = '********';
$db_prefix = '_stef';
$p_connect = false;
$cookie_name = 'punbb_cookie';
$cookie_domain = '';
$cookie_path = '/';
$cookie_secure = 0;
$cookie_seed = '11f97c49';
define('PUN', 1);
I wrote it with Gedit... I guess that I have the correct suffix.
Thanks
Stéphane
Re: Config.php?????!!!!?!?!?!
Is your prefix really _stef and not stef_ ?
Re: Config.php?????!!!!?!?!?!
Just to reitterate, you need to make sure you saved the file as a php file and not a text or no extension file.
Also, make sure that when you upload the file that you do so in ASCII as binary will tend to mess it up a bit...
Re: Config.php?????!!!!?!?!?!
Thanks for your answers!
My transfer was a binar one, I changed to ASCII.
It's not a .txt file, I'm quite sure about it.
This could be interesting: I have a mistake if I type <url>http://www.stendon.net/forum/config.php</url>:
Warning: Unknown(/home/.sites/30/site209/web/forum/config.php): failed to open stream: Permission denied in Unknown on line 0
Warning: Unknown(/home/.sites/30/site209/web/forum/config.php): failed to open stream: Permission denied in Unknown on line 0
Warning: (null)(): Failed opening '/home/.sites/30/site209/web/forum/config.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in Unknown on line 0
What can I do?
Thanks!

Well, that's odd, because there shouldn't be any includes in that file...

Re: Config.php?????!!!!?!?!?!
Ah, like that
Re: Config.php?????!!!!?!?!?!
anyway the file is corrupted as punBB install process said.
Re: Config.php?????!!!!?!?!?!
Hello, it's OK with the PHP file now, thanks to foxmask:
<?php
$db_type = 'mysql';
$db_host = 'localhost';
$db_name = 'stendonnet3';
$db_username = 'stephane';
$db_password = '********';
$db_prefix = '_stef';
$p_connect = false;
$cookie_name = 'punbb_cookie';
$cookie_domain = '';
$cookie_path = '/';
$cookie_secure = 0;
$cookie_seed = '11f97c49';
define('PUN', 1);
?>
But now I'm getting this other message error: "Unable to fetch forum config".
As I just installed PHPBB without problems, I prefere to renounce with PunBB. Sorry and thanks to all!
Stéphane
Re: Config.php?????!!!!?!?!?!
Just a stab in the dark, but you might try removing the "?>" from the end of the file. My config.php doesn't have it. I'm not really sure if it makes a difference or not though.
Looking for a certain modification for your forum? Please take a look here before posting.

Re: Config.php?????!!!!?!?!?!
Indeed. It shouldn't be there.
Re: Config.php?????!!!!?!?!?!
It doesn't make a difference though 
Re: Config.php?????!!!!?!?!?!
if you have a space after it, it will
Re: Config.php?????!!!!?!?!?!
If you have a space after it, the forum will load alright but you'll have a bunch of header errors at the top

Re: Config.php?????!!!!?!?!?!
The file 'config.php' doesn't exist or is corrupt. Please run install.php before? (I've done this a number of times and always having to delete the tables to re-do...
I have tried and still get this error. I also have been watching the forums and still the error? What else can be wrong?
Another thing I noticed that the config.php is actually pulled up and displayed with mt password info, so I deleted it? What makes this happen?
Thanks

That sounds like you deleted the <?php bit on top, so the stuff wasn't getting parsed properly
But yeah, if you deleted the file it can't very well read from it
