ARGH! This is getting _so_ frustrating. I've deleted it, downloaded, installed, three times now. Am I even downloading the right thing?

PunBB 1.1.4 (zip)  - and then I upload the upload file. *sigh* And then go through the install process, and still get the ban list thing.

Yeah, try that. There might be a collision with the old forums.

Right-o.

I'll try that in a couple of hours, once I'm off work. If it doesn't work, you'll be the first to know. ^_~

Hmm, have you upgraded lately? Did you run the update script as the upgrade instructions says?

I haven't upgraded. I just clicked to dl the newest Punn, and tried to install. I did have another punn board on my site, but deleted it to put in the new one. *Which isn't working*

Ah, blah, maybe I'll uninstall and reinstall this afternoon. Hopefully that'll work.

I hate to bump my own post.. but any other suggestions?

AH HA! I snycronized *spelling???* my files, redid the common.php file - deleted the //,

and now I get:

An error was encountered
File: /www/chibid/public_html/warriorsquests/scripture/include/functions.php
Line: 114
PunBB reported: Unable to fetch ban list
Database reported: Unknown column 'message' in 'field list' (Errno: 1054)

*waits for Rickard to work his magic*

Edit:

Line 114 -
    $result = $db->query('SELECT id, username, ip, message, expire FROM '.$db->prefix.'bans WHERE username IS NOT NULL OR ip IS NOT NULL OR expire IS NOT NULL') or error('Unable to fetch ban list', __FILE__, __LINE__, $db->error());

Ick. I changed it on the remote server.. so I'm thinking it got uploaded. What do you suggest I edit this on? *Has finally figured out DreamWeaver* ... I'm on a Mac... so I guess Simpletext? Or BBedit?

Same thing ... Unable to fetch ban list.

Blah, my server is down so I can't check my page.

Edit: Up again, you can see it here: http://chibidragon.com/warriorsquests/scripture/

Enable DEBUG mode and try it again. It won't work then either, but it will spit out a more constructive error message.


Did that. No go.

The table where 'An error was encountered' is written is orange. Does that help? Heh.

Thanks for your help, you and my webhost guy are the best tech support. big_smile



Edit:
This is what the common.php file looks like now:
// Enable debugging by removing // from the following line
define('PUN_DEBUG', 1);

Dreamweaver is giving me an error at the bottom, an 'Invalid Markup' ... would that have anything to do with it?

I've finished my install *finally!*, done all that, made the config.php file... and now when I go to the index.php I get:

An error was encountered
Error: Unable to fetch ban list.


How do I fix?

I didn't see anything on config.php with 'permissions'

Hmm, still no luck.

I've got two boards on the same domain.. so I guess it'll be on the same database.

The one that is working, the config.php looks like this:
<?php

$db_type = 'mysql';
$db_host = 'localhost';
$db_name = 'chibidragon_com';
$db_username = 'chibidragon_com';
$db_password = 'password';
$db_prefix = '';
$p_connect = true;

$cookie_domain = '';
$cookie_path = '/';
$cookie_secure = 0;

$language = 'en';

define('PUN', 1);


And the one that is not...

<?php

$db_type = 'mysql';
$db_host = 'localhost';
$db_name = 'chibidragon_com';
$db_username = 'chibidragon_com';
$db_password = 'password';
$db_prefix = 'WQ';
$p_connect = true;

$cookie_name = 'Warriors Quests';
$cookie_domain = '';
$cookie_path = '/';
$cookie_secure = 0;

$language = 'en';

define('PUN', 1);

?>

Any suggestions? I'm totally lost.

Thanks, I'll try that.

I've installed my board, made the config file, and it's giving me this:

install.php
The file 'config.php' already exists which would mean that PunBB is already installed. You should go here instead.

So, I go to 'here'
index.php  and then get this:
The file 'config.php' doesn't exist or is corrupt. Please run install.php to install PunBB first.

*sigh* Sorry to be a bother, it's amazing I can write my own emails. Any help would be muchly appreciated.

Nevermind - I/It seems to have fixed itself.

Yeah.

When I try to change the colours in my profile, I get this message:

Bad referer. You were referred to this page from an unauthorized source. Please go back and try again. If the problem persists please make sure that 'Base URL' is correctly set in Admin/Options and that you are visiting the forum by navigating to that URL.

I haven't fiddled with the base url since I've set up my board - it worked fine before, just now it's giving me troubles.

Eee! It worked! wow, cool, Thanks!!!  *does the 'I am so Happy' dance*


.... tech people sleep??!!

Dreamweaver. 

Thanks so much... I love you TechSupport Peoples..

It's opened, but in simpletext.. and I don't see chmod anywhere...

Oh God.... don't shot me, but I have no clue how to do that.  It's amazing I can dress myself in the morning.

Also, I see you have a link back to Pun.org up at the top of the page, how do you get that?

Same problem, though I get this message:

"The server was unable to save the uploaded file. Please contact the forum administrator at blah..."

I tried fiddling with the pixels and such... it's the same avatar I have for this forum...

aaah! my brain is mush.

It's been weeks now, searching for just that board to put with my webpage. I tried the others, but had to have my hand held by my tech guy to install them. I was _so_ happy when I finished installing Pun and it actually worked.

Thanks.
