phpBB_14 and .75 problem - Access Denied and other permissions problems  Bottom

  • hi Folks,

    after migrating a Postnuke+phpBB_14 instance form one server to another, all appears well until I try using the forum.
    I can see the list of forums (and the number of posts in each topic, etc) at the main forum link, but if i try to enter any of the forums i get:

    Error - The forum/topic you selected does not exist. Please go back and try again.

    Also, I get "Access Denied" on a plain white screen when trying to go to Administration -> phpBB_14

    All of the forums are still there in the mysql, e.g. nuke_phpbb14_forums table forum_id shows a forum for id 3, and
    SELECT * FROM `nuke_phpbb14_posts` WHERE forum_id = "3"; shows all of those posts.

    Any idea how something that appears to be permissions got screwed up? File system permissions appear fine.

    Any help would be MOST welcome :)


    Some other pieces of relevant info - accessing the forums main page works:
    modules.php?op=modload&name=phpBB_14&file=index

    And accessing the forums in a category works:
    e.g modules.php?op=modload&name=phpBB_14&file=index&viewcat=6

    It's just the specific forum view that throws the "Error - The forum/topic you selected does not exist. Please go back and try again."
    e.g .modules.php?op=modload&name=phpBB_14&file=index&action=viewforum&forum=7

    i commented out the lines in admin.php that were causing the "Access Denied" issue to see if a Forum Sync would help but it didnt.

  • you should definitly update postnuke and pnforum to the latest stable version... (not only it might fix your problem but it will also improve the site's overall security)...

  • hi - my forum is phpbb_14
    can pnForum update from that, or are my posts lost?

  • hi larsneo,

    i updated to 7.6.2 and pnForum - but i cannot get it to work.
    after installing, i get "Module pnForum not available" when trying to go to the admin pages.
    this is after successfully initializing and activating the module, plus i have checked all file ownership and permissions, and they work fine too.

    any ideas?
  • figured it out - one of the hooks modules doesn't seem to be working; i unchecked them all and now it shows fine.
  • I have the same proble, following an upgrade from phpBB_14 to pnForum 2.7.

    I have look at all my hooks, and they are all deactivated.

    Any other hint ?
