Geeklog Forums

i just installed phpBB2 (the instructions were pretty simple) -- and the plugin gets listed with the geeklof admin panel (PLUGINS) -- however, when i click on INSTALL --although i get no error message -- nothing happens and the STATUS reads PLUGIN IS NOT UNINSTALLED

The same thing happened when i installed forum2.5

please any advice? - thanks

Globals is set to "ON" -- so that is not the problem

-> I attempted the solution in this thred, by appending the if statement:



to the install.php file of the plugin to no avail, I still received the same blank page.



(Sorry for all the posts, just trolling the boards to see if anyone has found a solution to this problem yet, and attempting to link these problems which might be caused from the same issue.)

I'm still having this problem. Has anyone else experienced this problem and have found a solution? Or anyone have any valuable troubleshooting ideas?

Thanks!

That was me. Sorry about the Anonymous post.

PHP5? And double-check that register_globals setting ...

bye, Dirk

I had this same trouble when attempting to insall phpBB2.
After loggin into my admin accoutn in Geeklog, and clicking plugins, then clicking install, it would not install/integrate and final page stated UNINSTALLED.
Also, under the submission block I would get the 'register_globals' not set to 'on'..
So I asked my host and they informed me of something I read on another post here in the forum.. I believe I read it via a link that cspires provides on this same page..
using the 'php.ini' file from my root directory, I checked it to make sure it has 'register_globals' set to 'on' and then uploaded it into every directory (folder) in my geeklog site that had a .php file in it.. (and maybe to some that didn't)..

so it did the trick. the install completed and the phpBB2 integrated into my geeklog site and now shows as a plugin module in the plugin section.
thanks to cspires and the other person that posted this info about copying the php.ini into all the directories..

hope it helps you also..
