I use it strictly for bulletin board testing of new mods and updates.

Means more too since the wife and I planted and arranged it.

Changed mine to a recent update to my front yard this is a pictue of my entry way. Wife and I did last weekend. Makes me want to clear up my desktop and leave just the picture.

My turn:

If that made you laugh, your really gonna love this one. It wasn't till after his post that I realized I needed an index page with linking buttons to do what I was so ineptly asking to do.

Why so ? , I understand this all maybe second nature to you. However, I really only started playing with forums and dealing with script about a year and a half ago. I am using this program strictly as a test board. So I am not using it as a host for these two forums. Just to test out different modifications. Your suggestions have helped me aquire what I was wanting to do. Thank you.

Yes i want to run two phpbb installations with separate databases. I currently have both of them install in the W:/ , in separate folders. When I want to bring up one of the boards I have to rename the folder to www. The uniserver as I have it running on my computer, when started automatically brings up the www folder. What I want to find out how to do, is to set it up so that I can control which board I'm looking at without having to rename the file. I'm not sure if this cleared it up any but the above is what I would like to do. Is it possible?

Still hoping for an answer to the double database question please.

Hopefully this will help you take a look here. BigDump

I don't know anything about WPMU. Yes I have two seperate forums. Both installed on the uniformserver. What I'm looking to find out is if there is a way to change between the two without having to go to W:/, and change the folder name to www. When you activeate the uniformserver and hit the server button it automatically brings up the folder that is named www. I was hoping to set it up to interchange between the two.

I have fixed the index problem. I still would like to know how to make it work with both data bases without having to change the W:/ file name in order to get the forum I need. Also Is anyone else able to log out of your test server board to view it as a guest, without having a login problem?

I was wondering how to running two boards on the Uniform server, and if it is possible. I have made a second file and installed a fresh phpbb. But in order to bring up the second one I have to change the name of the file www. 1.) How to make it change from one db to another without having to change name of the folder? If the forside doesn't see the index.php what or where do I need to adjust to fix that? Kdaddy

Sorry for the serial post it wouldn't let me edit the above one. With everything function the test board should act identically to one on a regular server correct? I shouldn't be getting any "This page can't be display" screens?

Well that didnt fix the problem. I'm not sure where to look now I put basically the same thing you posted except for the name I used a different one. The funny thing is, my live board appears to be working fine. However, I need to fix my test board so that I can see if guest are able to see the areas that I don't want them too.

Could you give me a sample of one of your test board cookie settings. I am having a difficult time getting into the admin area now. It does something rather strange. I will put my username and password, it tells me it is wrong sometimes other times it will give me a page not found screen. Every now and then when I page back and select the preference { Part of mod-cat hierarchy} button at the top of my page it gives me access to my account and thus the administration area. Now my live forum works without a problem this seems to be strictly a test board server problem. Here are my current settings: Cookie domain : .localhost Cookie name: phpbb2mysql Cookie path : / Cookie secure: {set to disabled} Session length [ 3600 ]

I am unable to login and get to the ACP even though the link shows up at the bottom. It takes me to error page unable to access.

What would I change that too? My live board has .myserver.com., .localhost doesn't seem to work. It currently doesn't have anything in the box for cookie domain.

I was wondering about the logging out problem with the uniserver/forum. When I logged out to test the guest view of the forum to insure they didn't have access to what they weren't suppose to see. I am not able to log back in under the admin name. I have to completely shut everything down and bring it back up in order to be logged in as admin. Any ideals what I may need to change or check?

Everything is up and running great thanks for all the help. I have been playing with it constantly getting things up to date to match my live board. I have finally got there, but when I logged out to test the guest view. I am unable to log back in under my administration. Would you be able to help me with that problem? I would also like to find out how you do a backup via phpMyAdmin. I just recently started playing with it when I got a hold of this program. kdaddy

Well if ya'll leave me alone long enough I will have this all fiqured out talking to myself. I found the solution to my problems thanks for the input previously. I did a full restore and added the additional table for the weblog mod that I installed. The weblog information was the only data that I was missing and needed to transfer. I have that now and am off to play. This was the info that helped me.

Well I got the server to live board problem worked out. I now have a my test server running locally. I am curious if anyone would be willing to instruct me on why I can't do a data only restore. I get the following SQLl error when I try : Error importing backup file DEBUG MODE SQL Error : 1062 Duplicate entry '10' for key 1 INSERT INTO phpbb_categories (cat_id, cat_title, cat_order) VALUES('10', 'Laughter is the best Medicine', '70') Line : 980 File : admin_db_utilities.php I'm still a major novice when it comes to SQL. What I have done so far is install a fresh vanilla added my template bluelagoon, the following mods, easymod,and weblog. I try to restore with data only when I have the fresh install and I get the same error. Complete restore doesn't seem to advance my cause. Not sure what I'm looking for to change. Thanks Kdaddy

I didn't change the config.php. I initally did that before your previous suggestions but didn't think to do that after making the aforementioned adjustments. I will do that first chance I get and let you know how it goes. Only two more shifts left after today then I can play again. I was fortunate that I realized that it was jumping to my live forum because I was about to make some major changes, and that wouldn't have been good.

If there where siginificant changes I am not aware that I did them. When I have time again I guess I will start from the beginning again and see if that helps. I have done a full restore in order to get all my data to transfer. The data only or stucture with the data to follow doesn't work. It errors out like in the post above. However I am working all weekend so I won't be able to play with it much. Hopefully I can get it to work and stop bothering ya'll. Thanks Kdaddy

I changed those two values and when I click on the go to admin it still jumps to my index page on the live forum. What else do I need to change?

I am doing all of this on my test board. I have deleted and reinstalled a fresh install of 2.0.13 phpbb, I added my template that I use. I then have done various ways of restoring db. I have tried structure only, data only which gives me the above error. I have done a full backup restore. The full back up restore gives me all my data. However, now when I try to go anywhere on my test board it jumps me to my live board. When I disconnect from the internet, then I can't get out of the index page. I am definately learning to manuver around myphpadmin since I started this. I don't have any sql db experience up to this point. Any ideals how I can make the full back up work since I get all my post back that way? Appreciate your time. Kdaddy
