I'm probably overlooking something but the order MyForum / MyDomain doesn't fit with
That's as expected (in many configurations)
So I gather that /spammers is your board root.
IIRC that will only work if spammers is defined as a subdomain of TheNameOfMyDomain with redirect to the /spammersHenry1941 wrote: ↑Wed Aug 17, 2022 4:05 pmTo run the installer I type thre magicx words https://spammers.TheNameOfMy Domain/install/app.php
I take it that you uploaded the files and directories within the phpBB3 directory in the phpBB338.zip (or equivalent) package.
Ow, I wasn't aware that posting an IP or a domainname automatically resulted in spam and hack attacks. I learn something new every day
Which known bug is that?Henry1941 wrote: ↑Wed Aug 17, 2022 4:59 pm My career with Novell would jhave been VERY short-lived, had i responded to problems in this manner, I was told not to try to blame the user if there was a known bug and that there's a problem somewhere with the software is pretty obvious if a person can't install it on a new, updated machine.
However had you read this first https://www.phpbb.com/support/ especially
then such questions would not have been necessary.Support Request Template

phpBB runs fine on CentOS/RHEL, so it should work on the CentOS fork you're running. Having said that, CentOS brings with it SELinux which requires additional configuration. One thing to check is that the files all have the correct security context on them. If the zip file was in the web directory already, it should be fine, but you can check by running
ls -alZ
in your forum root. If you're using httpd, you're going to be looking for a context with: httpd_sys_content_t
in it. An example output looks like this:
Code: Select all
$ ls -alZ

), so it might not be valid any longer, but that error message indicated that there were missing files (phpbb/class_loader.php
). Can you check that the file does exist?
