phpbb and goforum 1.09 error Can't Post
Hi guys,

Any idea what the problem is when the following error pops up?

"Unknown forum type 'enter_forum_type', unable to create thread!"

Thanks,

Colin

Hi Colin,

Thanks for posting.

If you open up your goforum.config.cgi file there is a few variables that you need to set.

On line #12 you need to tell the script what type of forum program it's going to be working with. In you case, you will replace:

forum_type = 'enter_forum_type'

with

forum_type = 'phpbb'

Then, you will want to make sure that you set up all the phpBB variables starting at line #61. Things like the URL to the forum, the user name and password that threads are created under need to be set.

So crack open that file and take a look and see if any of those settings need to be altered.

If you need further instructions please don't hesitate to post again Smile

D'oh! How stupid. I didn't even see that line.

Everything is set now however there's a new error

"Died at goforum.cgi line 1011" when I press on the link.

Hi Colin,

Glad to hear that you are making some progress.

You will need to open up the goforum.cgi file, and make a small change.

line 1011 should be
die(@_);
not
die($@);

This way, you'll get a meaningful error message, and it may shed some light onto the source of the error. So try that and let me know what you get. Smile

Awesome. I had the filelock.lock file in the data directory and I deleted it and worked.

Thanks so much for the help!

The filelock.lock file in the data directory is being created automatically and of course every time someone clicks on the link it's giving the error again.

How can I stop this from happening?

Hi Colin,

Thanks for the update.

what I recommend is turning filelocking off for now, to see if that resolves the problem.

You can turn filelocking off by opening the "config.ini" file in the exec directory, and changing this line:

filelocking = 1

to this:

filelocking = 0

Let me know if you're still having problems. Smile

I did that but now when I click on the link it's going to

http://www.wrestling-online.com/boards;/ adding the ; after the directory everytime. It was working fine yesterday and I have no idea why it's doing this now.

There was a similar post on this forum and the user suggested deleting the goforum.dat file from the data directory to resolve the problem.

I did that and it works fine now! Thanks.
