config.php

I never had any issues installing PunBB on Windows...

I'm using it on mysql and php lol =\

110mb.com

you have to create one with the supplied code from the installation process. make sure it's a .php file and NOT a .txt file. reupload the install.php file if you have to.

me either.

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!

I made one from WOS that hcgtv gave the link out.. it has punbb running with apache,sql,zend,imagemagick,phpymyadmin
that is 15meg ziped and about 70 megs un-ziped.
that runs from a usb drive.

now the config.php
create a new txt file
once you install the punbb the last step is creating your config.php
it will produce a code that you need to paste into the txt file.

example:

<?php

$db_type = 'mysql';
$db_host = 'localhost';
$db_name = 'punbb';
$db_username = 'root';
$db_password = '';
$db_prefix = '';
$p_connect = false;

$cookie_name = 'punbb_cookie';
$cookie_domain = '';
$cookie_path = '/';
$cookie_secure = 0;
$cookie_seed = '7e371079';

define('PUN', 1);

next copy that code paste it into the new txt file you created.
rename the txt file to config.php
upload it to the website .
delete the install.php
go to home page
http://yourdomain.com/index.php

your done........
