If you are like one of the many people who accidently delete their config.php file, you need the code. Simply place the following code in notepad and save it as config.php and upload it to your phpBB directory. Please note that you must change your mysql host, username, password, and database name.
(Note: It is now possible to regenerate the config.php file through dbinformer.php, located in the contrib/ directory. Since this is not an "official" script, support is not offered. Also, since phpBB now requires you to delete this directory before the board will work (you will recieve an error otherwise), it may not be there. If it isn't, don't fret, just keep reading. Otherwise, enter all information dbinformer asks for, and check the box "Generate a config file." That's it - hit submit, and copy and paste the code dbinformer gives you into a new config.php. --dougk_ff7)
| Code: | <?php
//
// phpBB 2.x auto-generated config file
// Do not change anything in this file!
//
$dbms = "mysql";
$dbhost = "localhost";
$dbname = "dbnamehere";
$dbuser = "usernamehere";
$dbpasswd = "dbpasswordhere";
$table_prefix = "phpbb_";
define('PHPBB_INSTALLED', true);
?> |
Please note that your table prefix may be different. Make sure you change dbms, depending on which database you use, and the dbname, dbuser, and dbpasswd. That's it! Upload to your phpBB directory.
FYI:
Your choices of values for the $dbms are:
MySQL 4.x
PostgreSQL 7.x
| Code: |
$dbms = "postgres";
|
MS SQL Server 7/2000
MS SQL Server [ODBC]
| Code: |
$dbms = "mssql-odbc";
|
MS Access [ODBC]
| Code: |
$dbms = "msaccess";
