w3all phpbb plug "absolute path" issues
Posted: Mon Jan 30, 2017 9:01 pm
Hi all,
I'm very new to setting up my own self-hosted website. I've struggled and struggled and every step I take is grueling and painful. I've gone through half a bottle of Excedrin Migraine and have managed to get as far as working on the website itself.
Right now I'm trying to do my forums. I had my forums hosted by phpBB3 for a while and instead of moving them, I'm going to start them from scratch.
I got PHPBB installed, MySQL is working, there are no problems with that for now. At the moment I'm trying to follow all the instructions to just get the forums working with the embedded page (e.g. www.mydomain.com/forums) and I can't seem to get the settings to accept the absolute path to the wp-content/plugins/wp-w3all-config/config.php
I pasted over the database info, commented out the last line, I edited the overall_footer.html, but when I put the path into the w3all settings and click the button I still get the WARNING at the top and nothing is in embedded.
I have been following forum post after forum post after website after stackoverflow after page after forum post on this matter and I'm at my wits end.
Someone help before I go on a rampage.
