phpbb 2

[Maljonic]

I'm installing this bulletin board on my barrysworld.net website but I don't know all the right things to type in here on the install page, or if I just leave it blank; the rest of the page was already filled in for me but every time I hit install it says my password/ confirmed password don't match so I figured I have to fill in this bit too:

Database Server Hostname / DSN:
Your Database Name:
Database Username:
Database Password:
Prefix for tables in database:

can anyone help?

Bonjour

• Database Server Hostname / DSN - 'localhost' (no '' quotes)
• Your Database Name - Your FTP Username
• Database Username - Your FTP Username
• Database Password - Your FTP Password
• Prefix for tables in database - Anything that distinguishes the tables, e.g. 'phpbb2_' (no '' quotes)

If you have any more trouble please feel free to post again.

Kind Regards

thank you for the almost superhumanly speedy response

a little problem has just popped up sinse yesterday.... sometimes when people try to submit their post it says:

Failed sending email ::

DEBUG MODE

Line : 225
File : /websites/hosted/maljonicsdreams/phpBB2/includes/emailer.php



what does this mean?


It does post the posts anyway but, one person in particular, ended up submitting loads of times because he thought it wasn't working... can I stop this error message?
