 Posted: Tue May 09, 2006 6:16 am Post subject: Trouble w/ phpBB: can't access ACP or sign in |
 |
|
I've searched the forums and googled, but I couldn't find an answer to this problem. And I’m also not sure whether the problem lies with phpBB, MySQL, PHP or Abyss. :) Thus, don’t be too hard on me if I should have posted this elsewhere.
I have the following installed:
Abyss X2
PHP v5
My SQL v4.1
PhpMyAdmin v2.8.0.2
To the best of my knowledge those are all working properly.
I just installed phpbb 2. I can post, browse the forum, ect. But I get my custom error page every time I try to log in. When I sign in and get the error, I can go strait to the forum from the address bar and I will be signed in.
Also, when I am signed in, if I click on the link to the ACP, I get the same error.
My info:
Internal IP: 192.168.0.7
External IP: 24.54.216.23
Port being used: 1024
IP is static.
Network setup: ISP > Linksys Modem (Model: BEFCMU10) > Netgear Router (Model: RP614v2) > My PC.
I also have a Netgear hub. But my computer is connected directly to the router.
I’m not sure if my router blocks port 80.
I am at a loss as to what the problem might be. I’m new to all of this. :)
Thanks in advance for your help!
Isaac

More information? Hes practically given us his life story there.
I think the problem lies with the way you are accessing the forum. If you created the forum with your local IP address then you have to use your forum with that local IP address. This means you need to change it to your external IP address (if static) or a proper URL (like youdomain.com) for it to work.
If you did this you can happily use the link you created it with to get into the admin panel to change the domain/IP to one that will always work.
Hope this helps.

Here is what my ipbb setup looks like right now (minus the UNs and PWs, of course.)
Are you guys saying I should change "localhost" to my external IP address? Or were you talking about the Domain Name space? Or both?
I don't know exactly how everything works but it seems like, if I typed in the wrong DN when installing, that only the main page would be accessible. But the forum and topics can be accessed without any problems.
If more info than what I already provided in "my whole life story" is needed, let me know. :)

The link is just: http://24.54.216.23:1024/forum or http://www.sirottopc.co.nr/forum
Sorry, the server may be slow. I've got a lot of stuff running at the moment.
I tried accessing the forum from http://24.54.216.23:1024/forum and
http://192.168.0.7:1024/forum .
In both cases the same thing happens: The main page works fine. Browsing the
topics works fine. But signing in I get a 404 error. And when I try to register I get the following error:
| Quote: | Failed sending email :: PHP ::
DEBUG MODE
Line : 234
File : emailer.php |
(Follow the links to the forum to see what I mean.)
Thanks again for your help and support!

Off Topic: I am assuming that you use Photoshop and if so export your images as jpegs please oh please god! do.
If you use another program, look for Export and the file menu. |

Leave localhost how it is, thats just your database server. Change the domain name on the Admin configuration section to your IP if its static or your own Domain name if you have one.
The emailer.php problem is because you have not set up PHP to send email or you havent put an smtp server in the configuration part of the board. When you set it up find a free smtp relayer server and use that. Your ISP probably has one.
