[Plugin: phpbb_recent_topics] Running phpbb and wp on XAMPP

  • I am running both phpbb and wordpress on XAMPP on my PC.

    They are using the same database but for development purposes sharing the same db user.

    I therefore thought it would be simple to configure.

    I have tried both secure and insecure but get the message ‘Database Error. Connectivity to phpBB failed. See README for help’ but strangely it brings back a list of the forums for excluding.

    The widget displays the error ‘phpBB Error – phpbb_topics’

    I’m not sure what I am doing wrong.

    For good measure I tried granting the rights as suggested (although this may cause problems at the phpbb end) and used @localhost.

    Any help or suggestions appreciated.

    Thanks
    Mark

    Hello Mark,

    They are using the same database but for development purposes sharing the same db user.

    I therefore thought it would be simple to configure.

    I agree, in this configuration it should “just work”, is there anything in your apache error_log that may be of use?

    Cheers,
    Nick
