accessing phpbb using headless server (CLI)

Post by pss101 »

Hi,
I'm just doing my project on phpbb installation through a headless linux server. Now i'm kind of need some help to access and make some text file changes or config file changes from the headless server and this change should be reflected on the phpbb board.

Can someone help on this ??


//Thanks.

see: Install phpBB using the CLI

However, it's unclear as to what you want: what textfile or config changes are you referring to?
Spelling is freeware, which means you can use it for free.
On the other hand, it is not open source, which means you cannot change it or publish it in a modified form.

chmod for file permissions
chown for file owners and groups
nano for file edits
ls -l for directory listing that shows permissions and owner:group of the file
sudo, or su or sudo su to take root powers (admin mf) if some stupid file does not want to save changes. :lol:
www root is usually at/var/www/html and server config files at /etc each one in their own directory.

What exactly you need to modify?

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. Not any specific files. I'm just learning to make some basic changes or admin level changes from the headless server which should reflect in the phpbb application (that runs on a different server).

Please let me know some guide or steps for the same.

Thanks...

Moved this to general discussion as this doesn't appear to be phpBBB support topic but a server admin topic.

While there is plenty of people here that may be able to provide you with some help it's best to seek advice where they support your server applications.
