Description and Message

in order to make upgrade easier i decided to run a version of my board one of my home boxes in parallel with the one running on the website.

I have xampp running perfectly and backed up the forum and uncompressed it. I then set up a new sql database with the same name and access details as the one on the server, used mysqldumper to backup my database on line and download it then restoreed it to the local setup.

so far so good i went into the site directory with my browser and hey presto it loaded up with no issues, i was able to navigate all the forums, the portal album etc.

then i went to log in and it came up with

Object not found!
The requested URL was not found on this server. The link on the referring page seems to be wrong or outdated. Please inform the author of that page about the error.

If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.

Error 404
localhost
01/07/07 12:34:07

Apache/2.2.0 (Win32) DAV/2 mod_ssl/2.2.0 OpenSSL/0.9.8a mod_autoindex_color PHP/4.4.1-pl1

i thought i had not edited my config.php, backed out and found i was now logged into the board, tried to access ACP and exactly the same screen.

I am not sure this is related but if you restored a backup of your online board in your local DB, you also have to adapt the servername in the local board configuration table

You can run this query to do it:

Code: Select all

UPDATE `phpbb_config` SET  config_value='localhost' WHERE  config_name = 'server_name'

The key "cookie_domain" must probably be updated as well:

Code: Select all

UPDATE `phpbb_config` SET  config_value='localhost' WHERE  config_name = 'cookie_domain'

for the cookie you can also use Helter's fix

I don't think you'll be able to login and access your ACP if you don't make these changes

You could also try the cookie mod

[windin]

well i tried the sql query with no joy, they seemed to run ok but still have the same issue

i tried the cookie fix and got

Warning: main(./../extension.inc): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:xampphtdocsforumcookie.php on line 24

Warning: main(): Failed opening './../extension.inc' for inclusion (include_path='.;xamppphppear') in C:xampphtdocsforumcookie.php on line 24

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: session_pagestart() in C:xampphtdocsforumcookie.php on line 33

its frustrateing as hell, if i can get it working i am just going to have to rebuild from scratch. There are three other IM installs from scratch on there running fine its only this I am haveing issues with

[IntegraMOD]

the cookie mod need to be run from the install folder i think

[windin]

guys your both stars that did it for me

i had just dumped cookieMOD in the forum root not its own folder. After running it and clearing my cache its all up and working

[IntegraMOD]
