phpBB thingy?

[gino x]

Ok, so my question is that how can I change the yourdomain.com thing on my phpbb forums?

I'm a n00b to these kinds of things, so please go easy on me :)

My site is http://z0r.ath.cx
My phpbb forum is http://z0r.ath.cx/forum

The server that it's on is generally up during daytime (PST ;)

[Mntsnow]

You change that in the Config.php file normally or you can change it in the admin section of your forums

[Mntsnow]

You also need to config your email.php file to have Read and execute permissions so people can register for your forum ;)

[gino x]

Ah yes that too :)

Thanks for the pointers ;)

[gino x]

Bah...the admin section has zilch on changing the name =\

My config.php has nothing relevant either, its self generated and it says that it shouldn't be edited.

I can't set my emailer.php to Read and Execute, just Read :( (I'm a total dummy when it comes to IIS)

[diveram]

Hi gino x, I use phpbb on my site www.learntoscuba.net/phpbb2 I have gotten quite good at it. I modded mine quite a bit too. If you need help I am here for ya!

In the Administration control panel under General configuration, click on configuration. The 3rd line down type in your site name, and under that on the 4th line type in site description.

If you need more help, just ask!

[gino x]

Ah yes, I should have seen that :)

Also how can I set the emailer.php in the /includes folder to be Read and Execute?

I'm using IIS 5.0 on Windows 2000 Pro.
Nice site btw :)

[diveram]

Are you running your mail server? Is is on the same box?

[gino x]

Yus, my mail server is on the same box :)

I had nothing better to use other than the IIS SMTP server :o

[diveram]

ooohhh, this may stump me, but remember during start-up the beginning config screen. Its been a while but somewhere it asked for a mail option. I used localhost, because my mail is on the same box here too. Give me time to dig aroun on my sys and see if I cant come up with something. Also in the admin menue, under config, like the above post, scrool way down you should see a e-mail setting section.

you should see this line "Use SMTP Server for email" try setting that to off and see what it does. If its already off then set it to on and see.

[gino x]

Alright. The Use SMTP server for email was originally off, then I turned it on and entered the settings in. :)

[diveram]

And did it work? Send me mail thru your board to test. I registered as GrandMasterB :)

[gino x]

This was when a new user wished to join, after submitting all the info, I'd get an error about the email not being sent.

Was at line 234 in emailer.php :O

Did you get that error?

[diveram]

yes, but I joined before the settings, why don't you kill my status and I will try to reg again.

[gino x]

Ok then :)

[diveram]

Error on line 111 under smtp.php. I am checking my php files, hold tight! Error on line 109 also.

I checked my emailer.php file and I only have 174 lines not 234. But you are running 2.0.6 I have 2.0.5.

[diveram]

Humm, I don't have those lines, I have up to 79 on smtp.php...Copy those lines for me so I can compare them to mine for ya!

[gino x]

Ah, that is true! Lots of goodies in 2.0.6

Maybe you should upgrade when you have the time? ;)

[gino x]

Ok heres the lines you wanted!
Beware, its kinda long.

Well I gtg right now :(
Thanks for all the help so far though, I really appreciate it :)

[diveram]

Ok, kinda much..open smtp.php in notebook, under edit click goto and type in 109, then copy that single line for me. Do the same for 111. LOL

[gino x]

Alrighty then :)

[gino x]

Lets see::

Line 109

if( !$socket = fsockopen($board_config['smtp_host'], 25, $errno, $errstr, 20) )


Line 111

message_die(GENERAL_ERROR, "Could not connect to smtp host : $errno : $errstr", "", __LINE__, __FILE__);

[diveram]

Do you have port 25 open? Does your isp block port 25?

[gino x]

Alright then, problem solved. Seems that my SMTP server somehow got fudged (the one in IIS). So I have reverted to a free SMTP server software and everything works fine!

Thanks MntSnow and diveram ;)

Nah, my isp doesn't block those ports.

[diveram]

Cool, I was really starting to think it wasn't phpbb, but the mail server. Da Snowman had it right the first few posts. Good luck with your site!

[gino x]

Thanx! Snowman led towards the right path and you guided me :)

Good luck with your forums too!

Bummer

[gino x]

Yeah =\

That one's a PITA too. Will try to resolve that too :)

[mholtum]

You should try vBulletin.. Not free, but nice.. This site runs it as mine does as well http://www.ravensrealm.net

[gino x]

Nice... :)
I jsut don't have the money to shell out for those quality forums and I really don't believe in piracy.

[mholtum]

Have you tried Invision Board? Free and Nice.. http://www.invisionboard.com/

[gino x]

Hmmm IPB. Heard of it before :)
Maybe I'll setup a test section for it.

[mholtum]

I used it before I was using vBulletin. Even comes with a Portal

[gino x]

Doesn't seem free. According to their page, I gotta get a license =\

I thought it was though.
