goforum 1.09 and phpbb 2.0.5 Can't Post
ok got goforum 1.09 setup, path to my board in the config file is:

[phpbb]
forum_url = 'http://www.burningbits.com/forum' # forum script directory

to my now when you click on "discuss this story" for an article in category 2 it directs you to this page:

http://www.burningbits.com/forum/index.php/viewtopic.php?p=1&sid=3782ca894bedc0d08ad86262c4de360c#1

It appears that the script wants to add index.php after the path that you specify in the config file, where index.php should not be included. Even if you manually remove index.php it still does not post the article title. It just takes you to the first post in the forum.



Not sure where to go from here.Crazy

Hi Rob,

Have you edited anything in the goforum.cgi script at all? I took a look at the code and, to be honest, without actually having edited the code I'm not sure what could be causing that! What I'd suggest doing is downloading a fresh version of the goforum.cgi script from our website - (make sure you get version 1.09) - and reupload the goforum.cgi script over your existing one - leaving all your other files intact.

If you're still having the same trouble, post me back and we'll continue troubleshooting!

Benjamin,

The only thing I changed is the path to goforum.config.cgi because it is not found with the default settings. And I commented out the line above it.

I did upload a new goforum.cgi file, again I had to change the path. Now getting some strange behavior. Some links work, some take you to a url with index.php in it, some take you to a page saying "The topic or post you requested does not exist", and some take you to a different article thread. Any idea on why this would happen?

Hey Rob,

Replacing the actual script should have no effect on the actual links to the existing forums comments, since that's stored in a file called goforum.dat in your /data directory.

Most perplexing... how very interesting! :-)

Would it be possible for you to fill in a support request so I could take a look? To be honest I'm really curious to see the problem up close.

Thanks, Rob.

This is probably too late to be of any use, but I was experiencing exactly the same kind of problems (I think it was caused by my deleting test entries in the phpBB forum and then trying to change the config file afterwards).

I found that the cure for this is to delete the goforum.dat file in the /data directory (thanks for the hint Ben). Once I'd done this, the forum worked just fine.

Caveat - I'm a complete novice when it comes to code and I have no idea how this kind of behaviour would affect an established forum or whether important data would be lost by deleting the file, but it got me through some tricky set up moments ;)

Cheers!
