Copy php.ini-dist to c:\winnt\php.ini and edit it

I used to be with BT but the service kept disconnecting all the time and they did nothing to help me so I jumped over to Wanadoo, which are fantastic but dynamic... Which wasn't a problem at the time. I know a couple of girls in Bradford, supposed to be going down there near the New Year to go clubbing with them in Leeds

I don't have "c:/winnt/" directorybut could that be because I'm not using NT?

What are you using?

by **TheMachine** on Thu Dec 09, 2004 9:36 pm

XP. Hey Hestia has no login memory does it :roll:

by **PostBot** on Thu Dec 09, 2004 10:53 pm

Then put it in c:\windows\ or c:\winxp\ or wherever you have xp main directory.

Hestia has autologin function just like any other style. If autologin doesn't work on your forum check cookie settings in general configuration.

[quote user="CyberAlien" post="9349"]Glad you figured it out

Congratulations!

About visual confirmation: I recommend to disable it. Instead use trick that I'm using on this very forum - no visual confirmation and no bots[/quote]

I just noticed that the Enable Visual Confirmation isn't showing up in the Morpheus Style and I came here to check it out and found your post. If I made the modification you suggested, would that prevent me from creating multiple test accounts on my board from the same machine? I am migrating from another board software and I try to create different accounts to test with, i.e. Standard User, Moderator, etc.

Greetings,

Install a firewall on the machine connected to the net and check the anti-virus sites for ports that should be blocked, but to start heres a few:

1. All ports less that 1023 (TCP/UDP)(excluding 80, otherwise wedserver will be unreachable so you'll need a seperate rule to allow this)
2. 1024 (TCP/UDP)
3. 2444 (TCP)
4. 2744-2746 (TCP)
5. 3217-3298 (TCP)
6. 4443-4445 (TCP)
7. 5000 (TCP/UDP)

And if your running IIS you'll have to configure the following in php.ini;

Code: Select all: [mail function] ; For Win32 only. ;SMTP = localhost SMTP = <smtp server address - can be localhost if using IIS> smtp_port = 25 ; For Win32 only. ;sendmail_from = me@example.com sendmail_from = webmaster@your-host.com ; For Unix only. You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail -t -i"). ;sendmail_path =

Edit: remove the [ email autourl = 1 ] and [ /email autourl = 1 ] as they should not be there.

No, it won't prevent it. It will only prevent spam bots that are registering everywhere because those spam bots auto-submit standard form without knowing that form was altered on forum.

and put your provider's smtp server in it.[/quote]

Okay I'm with you now but what should I enter exactly? I should put the SMTP address of my ISP where the "localhost" is? (SMTP = localhost) What about the password?

I complete the SMTP section in the config (APC) and then it seems to work until I send, then I get

Ran into problems sending Mail. Response: 503 AUTH command used when not advertised

Also, there's something wrong with my cookies because it isn't storing my login details. I've only gone and enabled the cookie secure for SSL, and now I can't log in to change it back. How do I fix this? And what should the correct cookie settings be when hosting from a localhost server?

Anybody?

Greetings,

Your going to have to use phpmyadmin to change the db.

Start phpmyadmin, select the db from the list on the left, then select the phpbb_config table on the left pane, in the right pane select browse. Find 'cookie_domain' the other entries you want to alter should be below that one.

For local server;

cookie_domain = <empty>
cookie_name = <anything you want>
cookie_path = /

Then set cookie_secure to 0

Thanks mate. That's worked. But the forum auto login still isn't working. When I close the browser then return to the index I have to log in again. And I still have the SMTP problem if you can advise regarding those issues I'd be grateful

by **TheMachine** on Mon Dec 13, 2004 1:50 am

Still not made any progress with the e-mail system. At the moment my members get the includes/emailer.php error following a PM, or whenever the forum attempts to email somebody. Anybody help please?

Sorry, I don't know. php smtp setting works perfectly on my computer with my current provider and with all my previous internet providers so I never looked for any other solutions.
