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)...

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) Smile

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!)

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.

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.

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!

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:15Cool 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.

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)...
