Note: I removed the full paths so that nobody can hack my site. It doesn't say install.php on there. Instead it says the full path to install.php but that is why I removed it.

Click to expand...

I really dont think that you should do that, usually, when you finish that installatin, you will need to delete the install.php file, so there is no problems...
 
You need to edit the php.ini file.
Look for the error handling section and make it the same as below. 1 line will need uncommenting and 1 commenting.

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; Error handling and logging ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

; error_reporting is a bit-field. Or each number up to get desired error
; reporting level
; E_ALL - All errors and warnings
; E_ERROR - fatal run-time errors
; E_WARNING - run-time warnings (non-fatal errors)
; E_PARSE - compile-time parse errors
; E_NOTICE - run-time notices (these are warnings which often result
; from a bug in your code, but it's possible that it was
; intentional (e.g., using an uninitialized variable and
; relying on the fact it's automatically initialized to an
; empty string)
; E_CORE_ERROR - fatal errors that occur during PHP's initial startup
; E_CORE_WARNING - warnings (non-fatal errors) that occur during PHP's
; initial startup
; E_COMPILE_ERROR - fatal compile-time errors
; E_COMPILE_WARNING - compile-time warnings (non-fatal errors)
; E_USER_ERROR - user-generated error message
; E_USER_WARNING - user-generated warning message
; E_USER_NOTICE - user-generated notice message
;
; Examples:
;
; - Show all errors, except for notices
;
error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE **Uncomment this line
;
; - Show only errors
;
;error_reporting = E_COMPILE_ERROR|E_ERROR|E_CORE_ERROR
;
; - Show all errors except for notices
;
;error_reporting = E_ALL; display all errors, warnings and notices **Comment this line

What can't you find? The section or php.ini?

Are you on Windows? If so it will be in your windows or winnt directory.
 
The error reporting settings are for the whole php installation so you would not be able to modify them.

Are they a free host? I have wBB on www.kilio.com and all is ok.
 
I was just thinkg that if it was a free host that you could move to a different one. I think your next step would be to contact their support people and ask them if they can change the config. Failing that you will need to edit the php code to initialise all the variables that are being used.
 
I'm trying phpbb now and I get this:

The config file is writeable by the webserver. This is a major security risk because anyone can change your server settings now by using the install script.

phpBB will not be able to run until this is fixed. On unix systems this can be done with the following command:


chmod 644 config.php
Or use your FTP program to do this.
Switch on the 'read-only' attribute if you are running the script on a Windows machine.


----------------------------------------------
My site is on an NT server so how would I do this? Do I have to contact the server admin?
 
Do you upload to your host via an FTP program? If so you should be able to look for the config.php file and change its attributes.

I use FlashFXP and if I right click a file there is an Attributes option.
