Hi,

i'm stuck at this point

common.php

##
#-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------
#

if (file_exists('install') || file_exists('contrib'))
{
message_die(GENERAL_MESSAGE, 'Please_remove_install_contrib');
}


I need to find this text above in common.php.
I can find common.php in the root of phpbb, but when i edit it i dont see what i need to look for.
Someone have a idea? i need to say that i have used Mixed mod rewrite voor phpbb2
thanks allot

You must be trying to install the phpBB2 version over phpBB3 then.

The phpbb3 install rather looks like :

Code: Select all

#
#-----[ OPEN ]------------------------------------------
#

common.php

#
#-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------
#
// Grab global variables, re-cache if necessary
$config = $cache->obtain_config();
#
#-----[ AFTER, ADD ]------------------------------------------
#

// www.phpBB-SEO.com SEO TOOLKIT BEGIN
if (empty($phpbb_seo) ) {
   require_once($phpbb_root_path . 'phpbb_seo/phpbb_seo_class.'.$phpEx);
   $phpbb_seo = new phpbb_seo();
}
// www.phpBB-SEO.com SEO TOOLKIT END

for common.php.

Hi

thanks for the fast response.

But i'm using phpbb2 version with the phpbb rewrite mod for phpbb2
so i think i have the correct rewrite mod for phpbb2.

But still i cant find the "if (file_exists('install') || file_exists('contrib'))" line in common.php.

I also downloaded the phpbb3 and extract it and look in common.php
both common.php for phpbb2 and phpbb3 doesnt contain the "if (file_exists('install') || file_exists('contrib'))" line !!!

so i'm still lost...

It's because you originally posted in a phpBB3 forum.

So, 2.0.23 files do have this piece of code in common.php. If you cannot find it, it's not very important, just put the code to add before :

Code: Select all

//
// Show 'Board is disabled' message if needed.
//
if( $board_config['board_disable'] && !defined("IN_ADMIN") && !defined("IN_LOGIN") )
{
   message_die(GENERAL_MESSAGE, 'Board_disable', 'Information');
}


Or, if you cannot even find this piece, at the very end, before :

Code: Select all

?>
