that sir, he has NOT established with us yet.

i concur.. tyvm for this!

i would assume you'd need root access to change the /etc/my.cnf file

here's an example of my mysql memory settings that runs my punbb with -0- problems:

set-variable    = max_heap_table_size=32M
set-variable    = key_buffer=64M
set-variable    = max_allowed_packet=1M
set-variable    = thread_stack=64K
set-variable    = sort_buffer=4M
set-variable    = thread_cache=16
set-variable    = thread_concurrency=8
set-variable    = join_buffer_size=8M
set-variable    = record_buffer=2M
set-variable    = max_connections=500
set-variable    = key_buffer=128M
set-variable    = table_cache=512
# # Try number of CPU's*2 for thread_concurrency
set-variable    = thread_concurrency=8
set-variable    = myisam_sort_buffer_size=32M

im confused, i posted a long post to this thread here. was it deleted? if so, why?

only thing i'm noticing is that's an internal ip:

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:   whsql-v06.prod.mesa1.secureserver.net
Address: 10.0.9.14

so, where ever you are hosting punbb, it needs to be able to access that 10.0.9.x net.

outside that internal net, it will never work.

how do you block pics like that from other sites hotlinking to it? is it in the httpd.conf for apache somewhere? any url u can refer me to? thx

um we need more info dude. like did u run the install_mod.php first?

everyone else who has installed the PM system - works fine.

give us details. logs. something!

haha cool. i cant imagine the uptime on something like that would be 24/7/365

I am seriously not seeing the problem here. The installation process is quite self-explanatory, but allow me to review what's already in the install.php file:

        /// Display config.php and give further instructions

        $config = '<?php'."\n\n".'$db_type = \''.$db_type."';\n".'$db_host = \''.$db_host
                  ."';\n".'$db_name = \''.$db_name."';\n".'$db_username = \''.$db_username
                  ."';\n".'$db_password = \''.$db_password."';\n".'$db_prefix = \''.$db_prefix
                  ."';\n".'$p_connect = false;'."\n\n".'$cookie_name = '."'punbb_cookie';\n"
                  .'$cookie_domain = '."'';\n".'$cookie_path = '."'/';\n".'$cookie_secure = 0;'
                  ."\n".'$cookie_seed = \''.substr(md5(time()), -8)."';\n\ndefine('PUN', 1);";

Then it tells you:

To finalize the installation all you need to do is to copy and paste the text in the text box below into a file called config.php and then upload this file to the root directory of your PunBB installation. Make sure there are no linebreaks or spaces before <?php. You can later edit config.php if you reconfigure your setup (e.g. change the database password or ).

Copy contents to config.php

<textarea cols="80" rows="20"><?php echo htmlspecialchars($config) ?></textarea>

which will display the contents of the above $config string which will be what you need to copy/paste into a text file, which will be called config.txt then you can rename that to config.php

Once you have created config.php with the contents above, PunBB is installed!

thats a shame. punbb is quite the easiest forum software on the market. you just need to follow instructions, read, and make sure you have the proper security on the shell of your linux box where you're installing it. doing it elsewhere, you'll run into loads of issues (ie: installing it under windows using mysql, apache or god forbid IIS, and php). there's so many factors that can piss people off. but a little experience with linux goes a long way.

i really hope that the transition from 1.2.x to 1.3.x is going to be a smooth one. many of us out here run highly modified punbb's that converting over to the 1.3 (if painful) will not be a welcome unless it is, in fact, an easy smooth transition.
