How do I set the link to my homepage from my PunBB forum - as in the PunBB.org link before Index at the top of this forum?

Re: Blocking User List to normal users (5 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 discussion)
Thanks guys. I really would like to disable any access to user profiles whatsoever, including clicking on the user's forum name. I guess following the above example and posts and poking around in the code will do it?
Here's a nice free (Linux) php debugger that I want to see pushed into the Fedora distro.

I see that spammers are posting URL's in their user profiles. Is there any way to block this list from general view, apart from mods and admin?

Why the '$@' ? Are you passing any more config switches? By the sounds of your description, I'd personally say you have a schizo system. Work from a system where all modules/progs are actually the ones that have been compiled against the relevant versions, and compile it against those, not by mixing and matching.
That's a valid comment concerning using a php module compiled for apache 2.2.0 with the apache 2.2.6 version. I just tried that for testing purposes, to see if it would work. It helped me to narrow down and identify where the problem was.
I thought it was postgresql, but it can't be, because the above working ./configure is compiled against 8.2.5 . So IMHO it has to be a problem with php.
Regarding the $@ on the last configure line. That's exactly how it was generated in the config.nice file. Notice the arguments to configure are in single quotes. I think the $@ line is required to tell configure there are no more options to parse. Without the options in single quotes, then as you say, the $@ line is not needed.
I have done a fresh installation of the postgresql database, and will do a new installation of PunBB on top of that. So everything should be in a clean pristine condition.

Re: Connection to host localhost is broken. (14 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 troubleshooting)
Well I have compiled php 5.2.4 with the following configuration:
#! /bin/sh
#
# Created by configure
'./configure' \
'--with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache-2.2.6/bin/apxs' \
'--prefix=/usr/local/php-5.2.4' \
'--bindir=/usr/local/bin' \
'--enable-shared=all' \
'--without-pear' \
'--with-mysql=shared,/usr/local/mysql-5.0.45' \
'--with-mysql-sock=/var/lib/databases/mysql/mysql.sock' \
'--with-mysqli=shared,/usr/local/mysql-5.0.45/bin/mysql_config' \
'--with-pgsql=/usr/local/postgresql-8.2.5/bin' \
'--with-xsl' \
'--with-zlib-dir=/usr/include' \
'--with-readline' \
"$@"All seems to be working OK now. The only change in this configuration is downgrading to php 5.2.4
So maybe it's a bug in php 5.2.5 causing the connection broken message?

Just checked phpinfo output for php 5.2.1, and this was compiled against postgresql 8.2.1.
pgsql
PostgreSQL Support enabled
PostgreSQL(libpq) Version 8.2.1
Multibyte character support enabled
SSL support disabled
Active Persistent Links 0
Active Links 0
Directive
Local Value Master Value
pgsql.allow_persistent On On
pgsql.auto_reset_persistent Off Off
pgsql.ignore_notice Off Off
pgsql.log_notice Off Off
pgsql.max_links Unlimited Unlimited
pgsql.max_persistent Unlimited Unlimited
So the problem may be with postgresql 8.2.5

Re: Connection to host localhost is broken. (14 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 troubleshooting)
I recompiled PHP 5.2.5 against Apache 2.2.6 and MySQL 5.0.45 and Postgresql 8.2.5. Still the same problem. This is what my postgres logfile tells me:
LOG: unexpected EOF on client connection
LOG: unexpected EOF on client connection
LOG: unexpected EOF on client connection
LOG: unexpected EOF on client connection
This was using the PHP 5.2.5 apache server module.
What I did was this:
copied a previous 5.2.1 version of the apache php module, from my apache-2.2.0 modules to the apache-2.2.6 modules dir.
So apache 2.2.6 is now running a php-5.2.1 module compiled against apache -2.2.0.
This enables PunnBB to work correctly now.
I guess the safest thing would be to downgrade to Apache 2.2.0 and use the php 5.2.1 module compiled for that?
Anyway it works now. Thanks for the replies. So do you think the problem is with the php 5.2.5 apache module?

Recompiling again on the host machine. The compile was done on my laptop, and zipped up and ftp'd to the main machine. Will post the results ASAP.

It may be a bug in PHP, according to these posts:

Topic: Connection to host localhost is broken. (14 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 troubleshooting)
I have installed PunBB 1.2.16 on Fedora 8, using PostgreSQL 8.2.5, and Apache 2.2.6. I have got as far as creating the config.php file in the PunBB installation directory.
When I follow the link to the forum, I get the following error message:
An error occurred while loading http://localhost/punbb-forum/index.php:
Connection to host localhost is broken.I can connect to PostgreSQL on the command line with:
$ psql -d dbname -U username
and enter the password at the prompt.I have disabled passwords in pg_hba.conf. Still cannot connect though.
This is the output from phpinfo for Postgres:

I don't get this error when accessing the installation script, install.php. Directory listings are working for the PunBB installation dir as well.
