phpBB database

Authored by: Anonymous (Anonymous User) on Thursday, January 31 2002 @ 11:42 am EST

So I previously installed a version of the phpBB
(gl1.3.1_phpBB1.4.4.tar.gz) plugin
for Geeklog. Have the tables changed in the final
version or can I keep my previous phpBB
database/tables? I assume they haven\'t changed, if
that is the
case, where do I configure phpBB\'s access to the
mysql database? In Geeklog you set the database
name, user and password in lib-database.php, where
do you do this in phpBB? It is not in config.php.

No, I haven\'t changed the phpBB database nor will I ever as it will make upgrading to future versions of phpBB nearly impossible.

DB settings for phpBB are in config.php at the bottom of the file. In a fresh install where you haven\'t ran their installer, they may not be there yet.

If you want to run the installer again, just point it at a temporary database to get the files set up and then switch it back after you finish the install.
