Siteground Managed WP Host + w3all PHPbb Plugin Absolute Path

Post by zer02 »

Hello,

I have downloaded the WP Plugin to integrate my WP with PhpBB forum. Followed the instructions and found out my absolute path using phpinfo(). SERVER DOCUMENT.

Then when I try to save it in WP->settings->wp w3all absolute path to config.php, I get error wrong path (RED) notice.

Code: Select all

/home/myusername/www/mydomain.com/public_html/forum/config.php
What can I do to make it work? Does it have anything to do with managed wp hosting? My FTP server only shows me folowing folder:

Code: Select all

 /mydomain.com
-public_html
-logs
-webstats
Thank you

Hello, sure that the path to config.php file is correct?

Code: Select all

/home/myusername/www/mydomain.com/public_html/forum/config.php
Integration is domain/subdomain, or both wp and phpBB are on same domain installed?

If something on your server settings do not allow to include external files, like into subdomains common configuration, then you can follow this:

Note this into file's inline hints:

Code: Select all

Remember to un-comment, removing the pre pending // chars in front of the very last line on your custom config.php file

Well done!
If any problem or doubt just post.

It could be more easy, may adding fields to configure from the start on plugin admin, a config.php created/generated by the plugin.
This would be the best because i know, it's the hard part for many to configure/start the plugin adding correct path to a valid phpBB config.php.
It will be done on some of next plugin updates.
