Hi.

I've got an ASP.NET Web site where users have to register before accessing to a section.

I'd like to create in the same time their forum account. I think I can understand how to do by reading sources but if someone has any information...

Thanks.

I just want these amazing features can be found in some forum that can work on .net. I will be very very glad if it's a ported punbb.

At the present time, I'm think about doing this port... no idea yet...

Usage :

  - Windows 2003 Server EE with IIS 6.0
  - PHP 5.0.4 with MySQL/MySQLi extensions
  - MySQL Server 4.1.13

Edit install.php and replace

define('PUN_ROOT', './');

by

define('PUN_ROOT', dirname(__FILE__).'./');

Same method in the index.php and perhaps others.

try changing the PUN_ROOT in index.php too, i guess its a IIS thing?

I've done this modification in each PHP page but after, it fails on the require() sad

I've got many problems to install punBB on a Windows 2003 Server.

I use :

  - punBB 1.2.6,
  - MySQL Server 4.1.13 (OK),
  - PHP 5.0.4 with MySQL/MySQLi extensions (OK),
  - IIS 6.0 (OK).

Everythink is well configured.

Before the installation, if I go to the index.php page, empty / blank page.
During the installation, in the install.php, I have to change the default PUN_ROOT './' by ''.
Then I create the config.php file (without the ?> balise ?).
Finally, index.php is always empty.

So, I'm looking for someone who has installed punBB 1.2.6 on Windows.

Thanks for your help.

I edited one page to help with the admin settings regarding the mail server properties because it's broken in this version.  That's all we have done.

Can you give me this modification please ?

I did have to setup a database in MySQL with a user and then set that user's password with the OLDPASSWORD function because punBb is considered a legacy MySQL client.

I've not this problem. Before the installation, if I access to the index.php, the page source is empty. When I run the installation, it fails but if I modify the PUN_ROOT, it seems to be OK but it fails on the other pages...

punbb has many bugs... it's dommage, it seems to be a good BB.

You need to install PHP first using the instructions from php.net.  Then you can install MySQL.  Then you download the php source and follow the instructions as best as you can.  If you need more information let me know.

I use PHP-5.0.4 with MySQL/MySQLi extensions and MySQL Server 4.1.13. Everything is ok, PHP works, MySQL too.

But I can't install punbb-1.2.6 neutral There're some ?> missing (I think) at the end of each PHP page.

Have you edited any page of punbb ?

Thanks.

You have to give the IP (and eventually, port) where is running your MySQL server ; by default, if your HTTP and MySQL server are on the same server, enter localhost (also, localhost:13306, 81.47.152.35, and so on)

Please, how do you process to install punbb on Windows 2003 ?
Thanks.

For IIS 6.0, all required file path seem to be incorrect :\

Ok, in the install.php file, modify the line :

define('PUN_ROOT', './');

by this one :

define('PUN_ROOT', '');

IIS 6.0 issue ? I don't know.

Look at this : install.php

[...]

switch ($db_type)
{
     [...]

     case 'mysqli':

     ?> HERE #1<br><br> <?
       
     require PUN_ROOT.'include/dblayer/mysqli.php';
           
     ?> HERE #2<br><br> <?
           
     break;

[...]

I've got only :

HERE #1

?!

Perhaps the PUN_ROOT ? Here can I see its value ?
Thanks.

The <?php balise is not close at the end of each page ! brr

Is this script a joke ? index.php has no source...

index.php should never show a blank page, what do you see if you view source?

The source gives me : <html><body></body></html>

Strange !

Hi.

I've got trouble with the installation of the version 1.2.6.

I'm using IIS 6 Windows .NET, PHP 5.0.4 and MySQL 4.1.13.

MySQL/MySQLi extensions are OK, also PHP.

When I fill the install form and submit it, I've got a blank page even if I uncomment the DEBUG line in to the common.php file. (Same thing with index.php but it's certainly normal because DB is not created).

What's this hell ?

Any help is welcome.
