Package: phpbb3 Version: 3.0.2-4 Severity: important
I’ve faced a dpkg-reconfigure phpbb deb package configuration issue: I was prompted to pass in the credentials for my MySQL password right after I’ve selected the MySQL as my preferred database back engine. I’ve feeded my MySQL root password as well as my preferred forum database name, however the database installation failed because, somehow the configuration procedure tried to connect to my MySQL database with the htcheck user. I guess this has to be a bug in the package itself or something from my previous installation misconfigured the way the debian database backend configuration was operating. My assumption is that my previously installed htcheck package or something beforehand I’ve done right after the htcheck and htcheck-php packages installation. after the package configuration failed still the package had a status of properly installed when I reviewed it with dpkg I’ve thought about trying to manually reconfigure it using the dpkg-reconfigure debian command and I gave it a try like that: debian:~# dpkg-reconfigure phpbb3 This time along with the other fields I’ve to fill in the ncurses interface I was prompted for a username before the password prompted appeared. Logically I tried to fill in the root as it’s my global privileges MySQL allowed user. However that didn’t helped at all and again the configuration tried to send the credentials with user htcheck to my MySQL database server. The only work around to the problem is to manually create the database and the username.
