Package: phpbb3 Version: 3.0.0~RC4-1 Severity: important Hi. I thought I'd try out the phpbb3 package as I was sick of havign to clean out spam users and posts manually from phpbb2. I installed the package, took the database it created and set up two more using it. I then grabbed the install scripts from the upstream sources and ran the convertor, (eventually) ending up with a converted forum.
I then proceeded to set up the second forum, but found elements of the system corrupting each other and think I have identified the caching functionality that used the /cache folder to be the culprit, preventing multiple forums on a single installation as I used to use with phpbb2. I suspect the source can be hacked so that caching goes in /tmp/phpbb3/$hash_of_dbsettings instead, which should solve/mitigate the problem, but that'll be for another day when I have some time to kill. Chances are though, if they aren't supporting multiple installations (unconfirmed), that other assumptions may cause less obvious problems. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing'), (600, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_GB, LC_CTYPE=en_GB (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages phpbb3 depends on: ii apache2 2.2.3-5 Next generation, scalable, extenda ii apache2-mpm-prefork [ht 2.2.3-5 Traditional model for Apache HTTPD ii dbconfig-common 1.8.35 common framework for packaging dat ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.14 Debian configuration management sy ii libapache-mod-php5 5.2.0-10+lenny1 server-side, HTML-embedded scripti ii libapache2-mod-php4 6:4.4.4-9+lenny1 server-side, HTML-embedded scripti ii mysql-client 5.0.45-1 MySQL database client (meta packag ii mysql-client-5.0 [mysql 5.0.45-1 MySQL database client binaries ii php4-mysql 6:4.4.4-9+lenny1 MySQL module for php4 Versions of packages phpbb3 recommends: ii php4-gd 6:4.4.4-9+lenny1 GD module for php4 pn php5-imagick | php4-ima <none> (no description available) ii postfix [mail-transport 2.4.3-1 High-performance mail transport ag -- debconf information: phpbb3/password-confirm: (password omitted) phpbb3/mysql/app-pass: (password omitted) phpbb3/pgsql/admin-pass: (password omitted) phpbb3/mysql/admin-pass: (password omitted) phpbb3/pgsql/app-pass: (password omitted) phpbb3/app-password-confirm: (password omitted) * phpbb3/database-type: mysql * phpbb3/mysql/admin-user: root phpbb3/remote/host: phpbb3/db/basepath: * phpbb3/httpd: apache2 * phpbb3/db/app-user: phpbb3 phpbb3/remove-error: abort phpbb3/dbconfig-reinstall: false * phpbb3/db/dbname: phpbb3 phpbb3/install-error: abort phpbb3/upgrade-backup: true phpbb3/dbconfig-upgrade: true phpbb3/purge: false * phpbb3/dbconfig-install: true * phpbb3/mysql/method: unix socket phpbb3/missing-db-package-error: abort phpbb3/pgsql/changeconf: false phpbb3/remote/newhost: phpbb3/pgsql/manualconf: phpbb3/dbconfig-remove: phpbb3/internal/reconfiguring: false phpbb3/internal/skip-preseed: false phpbb3/pgsql/authmethod-user: phpbb3/upgrade-error: abort phpbb3/pgsql/admin-user: postgres phpbb3/remote/port: phpbb3/pgsql/authmethod-admin: ident phpbb3/pgsql/no-empty-passwords: phpbb3/passwords-do-not-match: phpbb3/pgsql/method: unix socket -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
