I have been developing a Joomla website and Phpbb forum on my own PC and this all worked well including the Community Builder and Phpbb connector plugin (allowing simultaneous login to Joomla and Phpbb etc).

However I have just uploaded all of the site files and database tables to my hosted web space.

Routine things I have changed to make the site work now it is hosted:

Joomla:-
- Configuration.php (for joomla to use correct paths and Database).

Phpbb:-
- Config.php (for phpbb to use correct Database etc)

Phpbb works fine and the forum has the posts etc already made in testing on my own PC. However when trying to login via the CB Login in Joomla I encounter some errors:

Warning: includephpbbfiles(/var/www/html/forum/extension.inc): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/sites/public_html/components/com_comprofiler/plugin/user/plug_phpbbconnector/phpbbconnector.php on line 124

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: encode_ip() in /home/sites/public_html/components/com_comprofiler/plugin/user/plug_phpbbconnector/phpbbconnector.php on line 137




Similar errors also appear when clicking on the plugin control panel for the phpbb connector plugin:

Table 'web29-live_db.users' doesn't exist SQL=SELECT count( * ) as total_record FROM users WHERE user_active = '1'
SQL =

I have the phpbb forum in a separate directory named 'forum' to the website (which is in the root). I made sure this is set in the phpbb connector plugin setting (default anyway).

Any help much appreciated!

Thank you,

Glyn

Solved it, as I assumed it was down to some problem with paths. As this was very new webspace my domain had not registered entirely with its new nameservers and because when I re-configured joomla and phpbb to use the IP *AND* the domain (temporary necessity to see my site work) the paths were messing up the operation of the PHPBB plugin connector. Now that my old domain is fully functional I have removed the IP prefix in the joomla and phpbb config and it all works!

Thank you to anyone who took time to read my post... but all is good now. No doubt I will be returning if I have further questions!

HI,

I'm having exactly the same problems as you with regard to the phpconnector. However I'm not sure I fully understand how you fixed it. I'm also working from a non live server at the moment in preparation, but all paths appear to be set correctly. Could you or anyone else be a little more specific regarding the fix please. Sorry to be a dunce!!

Mucho appreciation

check the paths in the error message... are they correct? if not they may help you figure out how to adjust the 'forum directory'... (most likely cause for the files not loading)

Hi Greg,

Many thanks for your reply, I spotted this in the error message:

public_html//phpBB2/extension.inc

It appears that the script has inserted this doupble slash, i've checked Directory for phpBB:: and there are no slashes or spaces just phpBB2.

Do I need to modify one of the php files in order to recitfy the added slash?

Regards

Steve

First things I would do is check to make sure you don't have '/phpbb2' as your forum directory... if you do change it to
'phpbb2' without the starting or ending slashes... V1.0.2 does not strip them off automatically if they are input... (needs more error trapping in that function)

Try that and let me know what happens

Greg
