linking to config file in a siteapps folder

Post by pwall »

Hi,
How do I link to a config.php file that was created in a phpBB siteapps folder? It doesn't seem to recognise it?

/webspace/siteapps/phpBB-81447/htdocs/config.php

/siteapps/ is not a child of your /phpbb/ install. It probably doesn't recognize that because it's not your true path to phpBB install directory. The phpBB config.php file is stored in the /phpbb/ directory.

If you do not know your server path, you may need to ask your host if you can't find it in your cPanel. What you need in WP->w3all settings is something this:

Code: Select all

/yourhome/yourservernamedaccount/public_html/phpbb_dir
be sure not to add a '/' at the end, leave that out.

Then in the second config.php option box in w3all, the same path really, but instead in url form: http://yourdomain.com/phpbb_dir/
If you have a subdomain like I use, it would be: http://phpbb_dir.yourdomain.com

If you're using secure cookies (https) etc, there is cookie settings to be done within phpBB admin panel also.

Let us know if you need more.
