I just purchased the phpbb2 plugin and am trying to configure it. First I wonder if I am supposed to create a separate database for the phpBB forum or if I can use the aMember database? Then, in the database (aMember or the one dedicated for the forum) do I have to manually create a table for the forum users? The text next to the field says: phpbb Board Db and Prefix database name (if other database) plus phpbb board tables prefix, like phpbb.w3t_ here phpbb board in database phpbb and tables prefix is w3t_ after change click SAVE twice Can someone please explain this?
phpBB phpbb uses it's own database once properly installed From ameber phpbb plugin in amember admin panel phpbb Board Db and Prefix database name (if other database) plus phpbb board tables prefix, like phpbb.w3t_ here phpbb board in database phpbb and tables prefix is w3t_ after change click SAVE twice The format is database_name.databaseprefix_ here is a sample of mine do not forget to add the underscore at the end rgtrebor_phpb1.phpbb_ usrnam dbname pfx underscore all this info is listed for your database you created Mine was listed in cpanel It took me about 3 hours of reading the instructions from the manual to finally figure it out syntax wise My hosting service automatically installs phpbb on my site with fantasico through cpanel Regards RG
