Thats true, only if the directory is CALLED "subdomains".
My experience with subdomains like that is the subdomain would be called "forum".
@Rafterman, But either way, it's something for you to try.

to test it, you can make a test page where your non-forum index page is located it put this in it

Code: Select all

<?php
$phpbb_root_path = '';//this is where you would try all those paths until you get one that works.
if (!file_exists($phpbb_root_path . 'config.php'))
{
  die('sorry, no config file here, try again');
}
else
{
  die('DUDE! you like, so totally found the right root path');
}
?>


Then browse to that test page, and mess with the root path until it gives you the config file found message.

[Rafterman]

ok, i will test it

with

Code: Select all

$phpbb_root_path = './../subdomains/forum/httpdocs/';

i get

Code: Select all

Warning: file_exists() [function.file-exists]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(./../subdomains/forum/httpdocs/config.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (/var/www/vhosts/nrg3.de/httpdocs:/tmp) in /var/www/vhosts/nrg3.de/httpdocs/test2.php on line 3
sorry, no config file here, try again

same thing with

Code: Select all

$phpbb_root_path = './../forum/httpdocs/';

Code: Select all

Warning: file_exists() [function.file-exists]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(./../forum/httpdocs/config.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (/var/www/vhosts/nrg3.de/httpdocs:/tmp) in /var/www/vhosts/nrg3.de/httpdocs/test2.php on line 3
sorry, no config file here, try again

[Rafterman]

with

Code: Select all

$phpbb_root_path = './subdomains/forum/httpdocs/';

or

Code: Select all

$phpbb_root_path = './forum/httpdocs/';

i get only

Code: Select all

sorry, no config file here, try again

[Handyman]

Hmm... ok... I'm not sure if it will let you do something like this

Code: Select all

$phpbb_root_path = 'http://forum.nrg3.de/';


You could try that and see if it works.

[Rafterman]

/subdomains/forum/httpdocs/ dont work
http://forum.nrg3.de/ dont work either

i´ve written a short support mail to my provider, maybe they know a the solution

[Rafterman]

ok, ive spoken with my support and he told me that it wont work, because its not allowed

so i have to wait for a standalone script

[Handyman]

Or a new hosting provider... I was with a hosting provider for 3 years and we had the ability to do a subdomain that we could do the ./../ stuff to.

Hey Rafterman,

I was going to post a reply here yesterday, but I either forgot, or ran out of time...
Anyways, the open_basedir restriction won't let you go to your sub domains.

This is a humble request to all the admins and mods here that please update the documentation that to which beta version a specific mode is applicable. coz it hard to go through all the topic posts first and find out whether it will work with beta 4 or not. or specific to any beta version.

[Highway of Life]

All of the MODs should have a "Works With" field that shows the Beta version that it was last TESTED on, and although it was tested on that version, in some cases, it may work with current versions as well.

The easiest way to see all of them at once is to go to the MOD Database and look through the MODs to find which ones are compatible.

However, if you are not a Beta tester, MODer or developer, I strongly recommend you:
1) Not use phpBB3 until Gold or RC1 at the earliest.
or if you do...
2) Don't install any MODs on it.

The reason for this is that if you are not experienced with code, you may find it extremely difficult trying to upgrade your forum if phpBB makes a complicated change, and therefor you may lose all of your posts and/or users.
