Re: Playing with caching (3 replies, posted in Programming)
Instead of having to fetch config information from the database all the time, the database is queried and the results are stored in a php file. MMCache is then used to compile the php file. This results in a speed increase because retrieving the information from a compiled php file is faster than running a database query(s).
Almost correct. MMC doesn't compile the code, the Zend engine does. MMC just keeps the compiled code in memory (or on disk if it is out of memory) for PHP, so that the next time the script is to be executed, the Zend engine can fetch the already-compiled code directly from MMC's shared memory area.
Are there any security implications because you are allowing writing to php files? Not that it makes much difference because I bet a lot of people are running PunBB with CHMOD 777 anyway.
Nono that I can think of. If people are chmodding their config.php to 777, the security is b0rked anyway :D

Re: theme with style (12 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 modifications, plugins and integrations)
In PunBB, a theme is the same thing as a style. There is unfortunately no way of using different templates for different styles.

That's nice to hear :)
Also, I can't emphasize this enough: If changing the current layout to some small degree makes your job a lot easier or makes the markup/style sheet much prettier, I'm sure we can work something out.

Re: PunBB -> phpBB (23 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 modifications, plugins and integrations)
Ah, perhaps he means the fact that you don't have to upgrade in steps if you have a version that isn't the second latest. If not, I have no idea. I just checked phpBB out and upgrading from i.e. 2.0.5 to 2.0.6 is identical to upgrading from PunBB 1.1 to 1.1.1. You unpack the new files and then run an upgrade script.

Then you haven't entered the right stuff into your config.php. Make sure you have the table prefix in there.

Wow, what a mess :) It appears you've got three different forum software installed in the same database. Try re-installing PunBB with a table prefix (i.e. punbb_).

The very best thing would be if you could export the complete table structure from phpMyAdmin (or something similar). That way, we can get a better idea as to what might be wrong.

Ok, then I can't help you. I doubt anyone in here will help you since you are converting away from PunBB.
Might I ask why you want to convert to phpBB?

Re: Error connecting to DB (7 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 troubleshooting)
When pconnect is set to true, PunBB connects to MySQL via a so called persistent connection. A persistent connection isn't closed at the end of the script and can be reused for several script executions. The benefit is that a new connection doesn't have to be established every time. However, since the connections doesn't die at the end of the scripts, MySQL will run out of available connections quite fast. That is what happened on your host.

I believe you will have to ask in the phpBB forums for that.

Re: Error connecting to DB (7 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 troubleshooting)
That's odd. Are you using the latest version of PunBB? The error message shouldn't occur on line 57 if you are running PunBB 1.1 or 1.1.1. Also, that error message should be followed the error message supplied by MySQL (mysql_error()). Perhaps your host has disabled it or something.
If you host says that they are having problems, I don't believe there is anything you can do to fix it. Well, anything short of changing hosts that is.
One thing you can try is to change the variable pconnect in config.php from true to false. See if that helps.

Re: How can i center the forum at 400 pixels wide ????? (9 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 troubleshooting)
My guess is that the forum can't be just 400 pixles wide. The table cells can only shrink to a certain degree. Try 500 pixles.

There is no way to "decrypt" an MD5 checksum. You can brute force it by trying all possible combinations, but you can't go from MD5 to cleartext. MD5 is a checksum generation algoritm, it's not encryption per se.
