Forum Registration

[Alaric]

Hello,

I'm having problem with my forum registrations, whenever a new user registers for an account on my site it keeps giving them a error message as Such "Failed to create forum account". They get Registered on the site, but not on the forums.

Can you please sort this out for me?

Regards,
Alaric.

You have to go into your Mysidia 'inc' folder and find config_forum, you have to input the forum database info in there so that Mysidia recognizes that there is an integrated forum.

[Alaric]

I did that. But i don't know what's wrong?

You've installed mybb correctly, made a new DB and configured all the file paths? If so, post your config_forum script here with any passwords censored out. So that I can have a look at it.

<?php
//Mysidia Adoptables Site Configuration File

//Forum Integration Info: MyBB
$mybbenabled = 1; // 0 = disabled, 1 = enabled
$mybbhost = 'localhost'; // Consult your host if you believe this field is not localhost
$mybbuser = 'alaric';
$mybbpass = '';
$mybbdbname = 'alaric_pokemon';
$mybbpath = '';
$mybbprefix = 'mybb_'; // This is the default setting as you install MyBB forum, feel free changing it if you have a different prefix
$mybbremember = -1;
?>

[Nieth]

You didn't specify the path to the forum folder from the root, that may be your problem. Unless you installed mybb straight into the public_html, which you shouldn't. That would lead to a big problem as the files would be all mixed up.

What folder is your installation of mybb placed into in on your site?

[Alaric]

This should be fine...?

$mybbremember = 1;
?>


That should work, I put the path into the config. Just replace your password and that should work, post again if it doesn't help.

I changed the path many times like
'/'
'/forum'
'/forum/'

But it never worked.


Now let me try again to see if it works. :eye:

[Alaric]

Nope. Still getting this message : "Failed to create forum account"

[Nieth]

You assigned your database user to the new DB with full access, right?
Other than part of the information input being wrong or the config files not filled out correctly I can't think of anything else that may be the problem.

Should I PM you my details hosting details?

[Nieth]

I'm actually in the process of working on a site myself, if you'd like you can send them and I'll give it a try, but I've never worked with 99host, so I'm not sure that I'll know what I'm doing. Most of the sites that I've helped to bring up have been x10.

But, like I said. If I get some free time and you'd like me to try, I will.

[Alaric]

Still having the problem, Made a new db for forums. But the registrations yet Fail to create forum account.

[Nieth]

You hadn't already made a new database?

[Alaric]

Nope, I did it last Night. But I'm still having the same problem "Failed to register a forum account"

[Alaric]

Here's my new db config file

Please help me out on this HOF (http://mysidiaadoptables.com/forum/member.php?u=1)

$mybbuser = 'alaric';
$mybbpass = 'qwerty12345';
$mybbdbname = 'alaric_forum';

$mybbprefix = 'mybb_'; // This is the default setting as you install MyBB forum, feel free changing it if you have a different prefix

[Nieth]

Did you install the forum script using that new DB that you created last night?

[Alaric]

Yes I did...

[Nemesis]

I just looked and it all looks right.

So I am at a loss for this too.

You might just need to have members join the forums separately...

[Alaric]

Nemesis do you know what the problem exactly is?
Is the problem with the host?

[Nemesis]

no i cant imagine that being so we are not getting errors from php or mysql or any other server side errors.

That error appears to be generated from the script meaning it is running correctly but something still isn't configured correctly.

Only thing I can think of is we didn't install the forum right after adopt script. You didn't tell me you wanted it.

so its possible that it won't work unless we re-install everything...

[Alaric]

Can you re-install it for me?
Setup the MAS script and Forums

[Nieth]

Installing the forums seperately worked for me, but I had to do some messing around with the files. For some reason I noticed that MyBB's htaccess.txt file wasn't automatically converting into the .htaccess file that it was supposed to, like it did in v1.3.2. So I had to manually create the .htaccess file and place it into the forum files, that made the installation go smoothly. Other than that I'd make sure to check that his DB user has full access on that new DB he made last night.

Nemesis I need you to Re-install the MAS and forum the way you want it to be.. But make sure it works for me, Cuz I had to Install and delete the MAS script atleast 18-20 times in 4 days, Just because of the forums. Yesterday I installed the MAS script along with the Forums atleast 7 times. :(

*Also Make sure you delete my Back Up files*
