PHPBB on OS X Server

[rudi]

Hi,
I’m trying to install PHPBB2 on OS X server 10.3 For this, i am following the article i found here by David o’Donnel (h**p://www.afp548.com/articles/web/phpbb.html). The email address mentioned however is out of order.
I have managed to follow the instructions upto step 4: Install phpbb. Here the author suggests to create a new database name and “fill out the database name as shown below”. However, in the screen pic below, nothing is filled in in this field.
I would appreciate any help to conclude my install of phpbb. thanks already.

I suggest you’re better off simply following the out-of-the-box instructions for phpBB from the main site. It works happily on OS X Server.

I may not have time to have this done before the new year, but I’ve been working on the ldap authentication module for phpBB and am in the middle of putting together an article for afp548 that covers phpBB installation on OS X Server such that you authenticate against Open Directory instead.

It does work, I’m running it currently btw. Still auditing the module for potential security problems, but I think I’m almost done in that regard.
