Necropolis Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Hey there PHPFreaks I am making a website and want a good forums, phpBB doesnt work for my host so I am looking for any other ones.

PFMaBiSmAd Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 If PHPBB does not work, it is unlike that any of the other existing forum scripts will either. What exactly prevented PHPBB from working? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Necropolis Posted November 5, 2008 Author Share Posted November 5, 2008 I got to the requirements stage of installation and it failed. See for yourself http://necropolis.freehostia.com/forum/install/index.php?mode=install&language=en That is just a temporary domain I want the site up before I purchase a proper one.

wildteen88 Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Its failing on the mbstring requirements. Create a new file called .htaccess within your forum/ folder and add the following commands to it: php_value mbstring.http_input pass php_value mbstring.http_output pass php_value register_globals off Now try installing phpBB again.
