are you using the custom config.php?
if yes, check that the very last line on file, after you have edit it with same values as the phpbb root config.php file,

Code: Select all

// @define('PHPBB_INSTALLED', true);
need to be set as (activate it removing // chars in front)

Code: Select all

@define('PHPBB_INSTALLED', true);
in the case of root phpBB config.php inclusion you should check that the path is really correct, and that you are not into subdomain install, because if this is the case the inclusion can fail and there is documentation to resolve in case, but the best way is the custom config.php. I assume you have setuo correct path so maybe the first above is the problem?

hi, i think that can be a problem about path, the inclusion of the file fail in some way, so the path (seem) is not correct ...
have you setup a phpinfo.php file to check that is correct the value you're setting for it?
