Topic: How to have separate login page? (5 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 troubleshooting)
Can't find the answer to this question by searching....
I have a forum that we wish to be private and only accessible via a separate login page. For example: myforum.com is the punBB login page (with only a login form), once logged in, the member is re-directed to myforum.com/forums. Maybe we could put punBB in the main directory, but this is not so important.
Secondly, we want to screen all registrations, or better put, invite people we know to join. Could we have a registration form along with the login form, and then screen the registrations manually?
Thanks for any help or pointers.

Re: moving my database to a new server created strange characters (8 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 troubleshooting)
Hi, you emailed me re your problem. I had a similar issue when I moved server. My old server had older PHP and MySQL versions. The major problem was not the dumping of the database, the issue eventually was that the new server had UTF-8 as the default in the php.ini.
I changed the php.ini (we have our own php.ini on the new host - TextDrive) from UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1 (or Latin1, can't remember right now) and everything was fine.
My issue affected a punBB forum and a PhotoPost installation. A textpattern install was not affected by the default charset.
Hope this helps you.

Topic: Change of host and import from MySQL 4.0 to MySQL 4.1 (0 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 troubleshooting)
Am having a lot of issues exporting a punBB database stored in MySQL 4.0 to a new web host (Textdrive) which runs MySQL 4.1.
Basically, its to do with Norwegian characters which do not display properly in the browser. On the current site (we are moving to Texdrive), which runs 4.0, everything is ok.
The default character set in 4.0 is Latin1, and I have tried exporting, then importing into phpMyAdmin with the import character set to Latin1. This did not work. I tried UTF too.
I have also tried exporting from the command line, then importing the same way. This did not work either.
Perhaps someone can help. Thanks a lot.
