I like your board quite a lot... It's
the best I've seen so far.
I had a go at installing on My Dev box (Windows for
Dev, Linux for Prod)...

Question:
Why are you using windows for a development box? that's just so wrong  ... Linux is free remember? another copy of it won't cost anything. Don't like Linux? there is FreeBSD!

Here is the board on Win2K
http://dragonx.northern.ca/forums/
To level set, these comments are from a "know-it-all"
PHP guy who didn't read the readme... (so, if
they are covered in the readme just ignore me, plz) 
1) include_path
I got this when I first started up the forum:
Warning: Failed opening 'GLOBALS.php' for inclusion (include_path='.;/apache/includes') in c:!httpdhtdocsforumsindex.php on line 25
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: fud_use() in c:!httpdhtdocsforumsindex.php on line 27
Had to fix the include_path and away it went. (You might
mention that in the install bout where you ask for the
data directory - btw great work on the install, very nice!)
|
Okie .. see, we don't have a single windows computer to test this on .... (as a rule we prefer to avoid Microsoft software to keep our sanity . We got access to I.E. via VNC to test layout on). Other then that all development is done on Linux with mozilla as the web browser this stuff is mostly developed for

2) WWW_ROOT
my value for WWW_ROOT in GLOBALS.php got set
to the temp directory... not sure if I just typed
something in the wrong field during the install or
if it's mis-linked.
|
Hmm.. that could very well be a BUG.. thanks for reporting. We'll check this, and if it's a problem is certainly will be gone by the next release.

In any case it showed an inconsistency in how the graphics
are called.
Specifically, the graphics buttons for F.A.Q., Register, Log
In, and Forum Home, broke because my $WWW_Root is wrong,
but oddly the search graphic loaded ok.
Fixing the WWW_Root value seems to have eliminated this problem
so all the graphics work.
|
Err.... wrong WWW_ROOT will mess many things up ...

3) Not an Administrator
I am allowed to moderate, see reported messages, and the
Custom Avatar que... I tried with and without cookies...
but I can't get into the admin system as the adminstrator.
I can post as adminstrator though....
It maybe helpful noting that I use admin and not root as my
administrator login.
Not sure what to do here... help!
|
This one is possibly because the moderator control panel works only with COOKIES... can't use sessions... And since your development box probably used by you by ip you can't set cookies (you can only set a cookie if you have domain).
We're going to possibly make it work with sessions in the next release (some time around Monday or Tuesday). For now what you should do is your hosts file to hard code a domain name for your IP so that the browser allows you to set cookies

4) Registration fails -- user error not configuring SMTP
Warning: Failed to Connect in c:!httpdFUDForum_dataincludeemail.inc on line 158
Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at c:!httpdFUDForum_dataincludeemail.inc:15 in c:!httpdFUDForum_dataincludewidgets.inc on line 158
This is a problem with my PHP SMTP configuration under windows,
so if you get anyone installing it on windows asking about
it SMTP Config is the problem.
|
Err... I'd think this is something with php config since we use php's native MAIL function.... so you'd have to make sure php can mail();
| Quote: |
Well, that's all for now... I need to have a rest and
crack at this again tomorrow... looks like I need to rebuild
my metabase to get my SMTP working (I'm not a windows guy so
that ought to be a hoot)...
|
Wow thanks for the feedback .... We will address all these.
Hehe.. as you probably noticed we're not windows people either . And anyone doing web hosting/Internet development shouldn't be anyway
I like your board quite a l
