I like your board quite a lot... It's the best I've seen so far.
I had a go at installing on My Dev box (Windows for Dev, Linux for Prod)...
Here is the board on Win2K http://dragonx.northern.ca/forums/
To level set, these comments are from a "know-it-all" PHP guy who didn't read the readme... (so, if they are covered in the readme just ignore me, plz)
1) include_path
I got this when I first started up the forum:
Warning: Failed opening 'GLOBALS.php' for inclusion (include_path='.;/apache/includes') in c:!httpdhtdocsforumsindex.php on line 25
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: fud_use() in c:!httpdhtdocsforumsindex.php on line 27
Had to fix the include_path and away it went. (You might mention that in the install bout where you ask for the data directory - btw great work on the install, very nice!)
2) WWW_ROOT
my value for WWW_ROOT in GLOBALS.php got set to the temp directory... not sure if I just typed something in the wrong field during the install or if it's mis-linked.
In any case it showed an inconsistency in how the graphics are called.
Specifically, the graphics buttons for F.A.Q., Register, Log In, and Forum Home, broke because my $WWW_Root is wrong, but oddly the search graphic loaded ok.
Fixing the WWW_Root value seems to have eliminated this problem so all the graphics work.
3) Not an Administrator
I am allowed to moderate, see reported messages, and the Custom Avatar que... I tried with and without cookies... but I can't get into the admin system as the adminstrator.
I can post as adminstrator though....
It maybe helpful noting that I use admin and not root as my administrator login.
Not sure what to do here... help!
4) Registration fails -- user error not configuring SMTP
Warning: Failed to Connect in c:!httpdFUDForum_dataincludeemail.inc on line 158
Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at c:!httpdFUDForum_dataincludeemail.inc:15 in c:!httpdFUDForum_dataincludewidgets.inc on line 158
This is a problem with my PHP SMTP configuration under windows, so if you get anyone installing it on windows asking about it SMTP Config is the problem.
Well, that's all for now... I need to have a rest and crack at this again tomorrow... looks like I need to rebuild my metabase to get my SMTP working (I'm not a windows guy so that ought to be a hoot)...
