i had followed a guide and installed apache2, php5, mysql. i got phpbb3 to install as far as apt-get but when i try to run the install through a browser i cant get to it says not found, i have ispconfig 3 setup and working on it, i also have squirrel mail setup, the idea is to host a website or a few and to host some forums as well as run a mail server off of a personal pc ran the php.test file and that is working,i can access phpmyadmin, is their something i supposed to setup with these before i can install phpbb3? ill give that link a try when i get home
ok i tried that, i can access myadmin and all but when i try to run the 192.168.1.100/phpbb3 it doesnt work
i have tried the apt-get way and unzipping it in /var/www/ the output is total 24 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2010-01-06 19:45 . drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 2010-01-06 19:45 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 237 2009-11-12 17:52 apache2-doc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 269 2009-11-12 17:48 charset lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 45 2010-01-06 19:45 javascript-common.conf -> /etc/java script-common/javascript-common.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2907 2009-11-12 17:48 localised-error-pages lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 2010-01-06 19:45 phpmyadmin.conf -> ../../phpmyadmin/apache.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1481 2009-11-12 17:48 security so if you dont mind me asking what is this command displaying and what does the info mean
another site had me run ls -lsa /var/www and it gave me this as an output total 2396 4 drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 2010-01-08 05:54 . 4 drwxr-xr-x 16 root root 4096 210-01-06 21:21 .. 4 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 177 210-01-06 19:44 index.html 4 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 21 210-01-07 18:06 info.php 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 2010-01-06 21:22 ispconfig -> /usr/local/ispconfig/interface/web 4 drwxr-xr-x 13 root root 4096 2009-01-08 12:10 phpbb3 2364 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2416769 2009-11-17 16:51 phpbb-3.0.6.zip 4 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2010-01-06 21:22 php-fcgi-scripts 4 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 32 210-01-07 06:10 test.php 4 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2010-01-06 50:46 webalizer 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 2010-01-06 21:14 webmail -> /usr/share/squirrelmail/
thanks for the help guys, this system is touchy, i was going localhost/phpbb3, but when i tried localhost/phpBB3 it worked, but of course with all good news come some bad, it was unable to write the config file and now i must upload it from one computer to the server how would i do this?
