hi,


I'm receiving a 500 error when i load the library. Any suggestions on the htaccess settings required?

Very frustrating to see that this is working successfully with you guys.

I have now read this howto in phpBB3 library (EllisLab) and have tried other dirty workarounds without succeeding at all.

Error:

Code:

Fatal error: Call to a member function session_begin() on a non-object in /home/username/domainname/html/application/libraries/Phpbb.php on line 38

Can someone of you please give me a answer/workaround on this subject asap?

I have a website built using CodeIgniter that links to the forum. Once someone logs in the forum, I want to fetch the user details and display them in the site. I found this phpbb3 library for CodeIgniter projects.

My project is set-up as follows:
project/application
project/forum

I modified the FORUM_ROOT_PATH to:

Code:

define('FORUM_ROOT_PATH', base_url().'forum/');

Calling the controller phpbb_test.php returns the following errors wherever the include() is used:

A PHP Error was encountered
Filename: libraries/Phpbb.php
Messages:
* include(): http:// wrapper is disabled in the server configuration by allow_url_include=0
* include(http://localhost/project/forum/common.php): failed to open stream: no suitable wrapper could be found
* include(): Failed opening 'http://localhost/project/forum/common.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear')

How do I fix this?

Haven't used that plugin, but it looks like you simply need to supply an actual file path to the forum dir, NOT a URL. The error messages state that your host doesn't allow including via http://, which is what base_url() does.

Allowing includes by URL can be very insecure since you can execute php code from a different server, so that's probably why your host disables it.
