I can yes and it does support them but I have never installed a forum before and don't know where to start. I have had an offer to do it for me but this isn't for a few days and at the risk of sounding impatient, I need the forum now as none of my members have a forum to use now since my host shut it down.

Would it be OK to give you access to my CPanel for you to have a look and maybe see what I mean?

Where to start? Upload all the files from the XS package!
Then you acces your domain (where the uploaded files are) and start the DB installation. If you go to your site for the first time, you're automaticly taken to the installation. From there it should be self explaining.
And have a look at the readme.

If you wish, I could take a closer look at CPanel. I shouldn't be to hard...

Hi Tom

It isn't for the first time as I use to have my forum on the Chatterz address but moved it to Friendz4life as I couldn't install and my host offered to do it for me. Since we have fallen out though and he updated it badly (see all of my support questions, lol) he has deleted it so I am going back with my better host. The only trouble is that they don't do installs.

problem seems to be solved

i set it up enjoy claire

Hmmm... no need for me to do it then.

I just looked at the demo and I think the best way to do it, use file manager to upload the package as zip file and then extract it on the server. Looks pretty simple.

that causes heavy server load and most servers do not support that feature

because compressed feature some servers work

so i just uploaded them all manually

All manually? With this mask for 5-10 files at a time?!

OMG thank you thank you! I will sort you out on Saturday when I get paid.

What do I put into the following? Sorry, new at this.

Database Server Hostname / DSN:
Your Database Name:
Database Username:
Database Password:
Prefix for tables in database:
Admin Configuration:
Domain Name: ? chatterz.co.uk or www.chatterz.co.uk?
Server Port:
Script path:

Your hoster should provide this data. Or maybe you can see it in CPanel somewhere.
Do you have a database yet?

Not sure to be honest.

Then maybe I should have a look -> You have PM.

Thanks Tom, you have mail.

Ok, I've managed to set up the database and I set up all the permissions. However there is still an error about a missing file which is where it's supposed to be. I'm trying to figure this one out.

Sorry Tom, I thought from what he posted that Lgion had finished but he hasn't uploaded the templates he just told me.

I have done and added you hun, thanks.

Guys at phpbbXS i need your help with this because the error seems to be coming from phpbbXS

I was uploading one of the mysql backups Claire had made and it was appx 30 MB, once it was done about 20 min, it said "phpbb_album" was not found so i took a look at the mysql tables and i found "INSERT phpbb_album" and many other tables like those and it shows clearly it is inserting the album tables, however it keeps saying that error. My doubts are either Claire was using a old version of phpbbXs but she said it was the latest version so never mind that, or it could be that the other phpbbXs was custom modded which i doubt since Claire seems to be a person of "just install & use".

Anyhow does anyone have a clue what the problem could be? I tried then creating a mysql user and connecting it with her other mysql database it connected perfectly but it said "ERROR GENERATING NEW SESSIONS from session.php" so i chmodded session.php to 777, still nothing, something seems to be wrong...

any help?

Hi Stan.

The back-up was from the last version of PHPBBXS.

Claire had a lot of problems with her old board. Some of them might be Database related. She had the modding done by someone else who might not have done it correctly. Then after the update she ran into alot of problems.
It is possible, that the database is corrupt.

Yep I agree Tom and now having gone since Wednesday morning UK time with no forum. I just want the damn thing installed. I was paying someone but he has disappeared. How dare he have a life.

Default board language: English
Database Type:
Choose your installation method: Install
Database Configuration
Database Server Hostname / DSN:
Your Database Name:
Database Username:
Database Password:
Prefix for tables in database:
Admin Configuration
Admin Email Address:
Domain Name:
Server Port:
Script path:
Administrator Username:
Administrator Password:
Administrator Password [ Confirm ]:

I know a few but what do I put as the domain name? www.chatterz.co.uk or chatterz.co.uk?

Where can I find the other points that I need to fill in please?

Hard to follow you through so many 3ds...
For other data, such as Database ones you have to ask your host...

3ds?

Yes I am emailing them now. Have to go out now though. Hopefully I'll have my forum back later or sometime this century.
