I don't really care anymore... or right now... I just want to set up my damn forums... So how do I run the server? mysql server?
start > run > services.msc
look for mysql
make sure its started if not start it
Thats the whole point.. I asked how to start it...
(there is no exe...do i need to download something else?
go into c:\mysql\bin and click mysql and it should load up, if not just click all of them till you find the right one :D
this is why i quit installing it a little while ago...
well anyway, heres the error after opening mysql.exe in c:\mysql\bin
Quote:
C:\mysql\bin>mysql.exe
ERROR 2003: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)
Hmm, found something interesting...
I ran MySQLAdmin and it has a database.. im trying it right now
whalah... got phpmyadmin to run
**** yeah :P
http://24.98.100.220:8000/phpBB2/
temporarily though, i don't think the database has a password
yeah you really gotta sort the Db username and password out, I've never ran mysql my self so I don't know how you do that :(. Thing is then you'll have to alter the phpBB to reflect the changes.
the URL doesn't work, the directory doesn't exist. the server is running though, if I remove phpBB2/, then it works fine.Quote:

edit: now it works.
ugh.. (post got messed, ill retype)
thats because i was trying to upload it to my comcast account, but it won't allow the file .htaccess due to the "."....
soon ill be able to run it 24/7 by getting another computer
WOHOO, I posted in it
everyone, get a username :D
first, get a username and password for phpMyAdmin. Anyone can walk in and look at your tables.
Sure phpBB encrypts the passwords, but still. Do it now so you don't have to do it later.
I am at the admin thing.. what do I do?
Also, I was just wondering how I would create a news type thing...
If you goto Stealthbot.net it will have news, then if you click on it, it goes to a forum. Anyone know if PhpBB2 has this?
EDIT - might have this - EDIT2 - or not
im STILL stuck on the password, though
dont know. never done it. my phpMyAdmin is only on my localhost, so I never bother with a password.
i might have created one..
anyone know how?
Ok... I did create one because if I change password to blank it doesn't work.. ALTHOUGH.. when I use phpmyadmin it doesn't work, even with the right password..
OK I added a password...
forum is now http://24.98.100.220:8000/forums/ if you wanna post
Whats the forum for?
Probably umm for my little software thing... might sell software I don't know..
Or just for my own personal fun website.
I forum isn't very helpful for selling software. A page about the software and documentation/support for it is more helpful. I know the support could be done through a forum, but stil...
For your personal webisite, fine. It's your website, do what ever you want with it. Though I won't sign up.
coudln't you just snatch the password by going to \forum\config.php ??
read above
uuhm. that page doesn't exist.Quote:

edit: sorry it does, but I get this:
Which means this:Quote:
Error 200
OK
Quote:
The request has succeeded. The information returned with the response is dependent on the method used in the request, for example:
GET an entity corresponding to the requested resource is sent in the response;
HEAD the entity-header fields corresponding to the requested resource are sent in the response without any message-body;
POST an entity describing or containing the result of the action;
TRACE an entity containing the request message as received by the end server.
So its secure?
Should be. now just write a view source script in PHP with no validation and give me the URL for it :D
I don't know of any exploits in phpBB2, and I very muhch doubt there are any in phpMyAdmin.
but then no site is ever 100% secure. and I am by [b]NO[/no] means a hacker. So don't ask me.
Didn't you do all the levels on that hacking site Acidic? (I'm almost sure that was you)
BTW check out the style I use for my forum, http://www.electromanuk.com/forum/. Mind its worth mentioning the forum isn't really public yet, I gave a couple of ppl the url but my site doesn't link to it yet. I plan to just use it for discussion on articles on my site, but I need to first write more of them :(.
I plan to make a script for my index page of my site which will use the threads in the News section to create a news list. Instead of the current way its done.
I just found out, phpBB2.2 (not done yet) will be having a portal (so thats what its called), and will be able to have news just like www.stealthbot.net
You need a new site layout.. LOL.. your forum and site layout compared = disaster...
BTW, if you goto http://24.98.100.220:8000/ (index page), there is a program to make menus (not just tree) and its really neat... you can find it at snapfiles.com
Yea I am thinking about redoing one or the other, not decided which yet. I have added a couple other styles which can be used, need to register though :(, and they are rather different so I'm not sure as yet. I think I'll be redoing my site to match the default style for the forum though.
Yea if you goto www.phpBBHacks.com you can download some portals. There is also a mod at www.phpBB.com that will let you be able to have attachments on you posts too.
I am thinking about installing the attachment mod but I would preffer to see if they make it a feature anyway so I won't have to, and when they do add the feature I won't have compatibility issues.
Any idea what the release date of V2.2 will be?
well yeah, but they were quite easy. ah no actually. I never did lvl 9.Quote:

V2.2-(Portal section)
http://www.phpbb.com/phpBB/viewforum...e21a40223bd9e7
Eh, far too lazy to read the whole thread, but before doing something like this you should read the documentation and do a little bit more reading about basic MySQL. If the server is on your home machine and you have MySQL installed you can either use phpmyadmin or WinMySQLadmin (which should come packaged with MySQL) to create the database. Be careful if you install phpmyadmin as you will want to set permissions for the phpmyadmin folder or else it's inviting people to tamper with your DB.
As far as a portal for news there are tons out there, phpbbhacks should have a few that will be fairly easy to set up with phpbb. You can also go to phpbbhacks to find pre-customized forums, there might be one with a preinstalled news script.

Sorry, as I said I was too lazy to read through the entire thread, it is currently 3 in the morning and I had a rought 8 hour shift today... far too tired to be operating, but I've realized that sitting here typing actually takes less energy than walking upstairs to go to sleep.
