Hey yall...

I don't know what changes were made in the last couple of hours, but my website ( www.vindictiveguild.com ) no longer works. From the research I have done the problem lies with PHP 5+ and the phpBB-Plus software ( http://www.phpbb2.de ). Apparently to maintain compatibility with PHP 3 and 4 the register_long_arrays(enable support for the deprecated HTTP_*_VARS arrays) configuration option must be enabled in PHP5 for phpBB-Plus to work..

Still down. My users are getting frusterated.

Our apologies Michael, we're looking into this for you. We'll have a solution for you shortly.

Hi Michael,

Please try this. In your public_html directory place this line in your .htaccess file:

Code: Select all: php_flag register_long_arrays on

If you have no idea how to do this please let me know. If you can do it please let me know if this resolves your problem. Thanks!

Brian

Hi Brian,

Thanks for the reply. I added that to my .htaccess and verified that register_long_arrays is in fact on, but my site still does not work. :cry:

Are you receiving some kind of new error message? or the same error message?

Either way can you post the exact error message here? Thanks,

Brian

Also are you using the latest version of phpBB-Plus and PHPBB? Please make sure you upgrade both to the latest versions as that might fix your problem. If you are using an old version it might not support PHP5 correctly.

I believe you can get the latest version at this link:

http://www.phpbb2.de/dload.php?action=file&file_id=804

before you get that make sure you have the latest version of PHPBB which is 2.0.19

I was running the latest stable release of the software and did not want to have to upgrade to the beta version they have available but to get the site up and running I did. I lost lots of code changes I made, as well as template modifications.

I just visited your website and it looks like things are working again. Please let us know if there is anything else we can do for you. Thanks,

Brian

I've got another issue... I need freetype support if possible. Here are some compile flags I've played with in my test environment.

--enable-gd-imgstrttf' '--enable-gd-native-ttf' '--with-ttf' '--with-tiff-dir=/usr' '--with-freetype-dir=yes' into PHP 5.1.2 and FreeType Version 2.19

Bigwebmaster · by **Bigwebmaster** on Sun Apr 23, 2006 12:03 pm

Hi Michael,

Unfortunately that is not something we are going to be able to do for you. GD is built right into the Cpanel interface and there are no options to add freetype to that. To do what you want would require me to not use the GD that comes with Cpanel (and is automatically updated), and to compile everything manually.

Have you tried using Imagemagick on our server instead of GD? Freetype might be built into that already, and if not I might be able to work with you better there to get Imagemagick to support it.

Hey there bigwebmaster...I've got another issue.

Monday morning at about 8:00am I noticed that my site was showing the plain white pages again. The error log is blank... I was wondering if there was any way I could get at the warnings PHP throws, or from apache. -- I have no idea what the problem is. The only ything that I see has changed is MySQL was upgraded on the 28th. I didn't check things between the 28th and Monday so I can't say for sure if it was up or down.

Bigwebmaster · by **Bigwebmaster** on Fri May 05, 2006 12:53 pm

Hmm I am seeing no warnings either in the logs. The script is actually executing without a problem, so there has to be another issue with the script itself. The script actually runs but it is obviously not outputing the results you are wanting.

You mentioned it used to show plain white pages before, what was the cause for that?

Also some of your pages seem to work fine:

Hrm, interesting.

I was running an old (but secure) version of the software that wasn't php 5 compatable. When you guys upgraded to php5 I would just get the empty white pages.

The stuff in the /rpp/ folder works fine because it isn't part of the forum system.
