    2 forums on the same site needed to connect to 1 database

    I know it's possible to connect two forums to one database, but I don't know where to change the table prefixes. This is phpBB, by the way. I'm using some kind of web hosting tools, so it didn't give me the opportunity to change the prefixes when I installed it. This is what I'm looking for: If a user registers at forum 1, they are automatically registered at forum 2.


    If you can help out with anything, please post...It's much appreciated.

    Color me ignorant.... but wouldn't this have been more appropriate at the phpforum forums?

    If you fill in the config file correct
    If you install forum 1 you must do the install so phpbb make your DB ready
    By the second you manauly fill in the config.php file
    and already delete the contrib and install folder
    So it works i think

    Yes.... for PHP in general.... but phpForums is a product, which does have a support forum of it's own, and most likely to have people better suited to help.

    then again, it could be just me.
