config.php related to phpbb port?

Hi!

I have a strange problem.
According to the installation of phpnuke, it's recommended to move the real config.php out from the /html directory (server root), and replace the config.php with one that import's it from some other place, that's not the server root. For example:

<?php include("../config.php"); ?>

However, when doing so, i can't administer phpbb, because i get this error:

Warning: Failed opening '../config.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/share/php/PEAR') in /path_to_phpnuke/html/config.php on line 1

Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: sql_db in /path_to_phpnuke/html/db/db.php on line 86

I'm using phpnuke 6.5 final, and the phpbb port that's included with that release (haven't upgraded phpbb port because to tell you the truth i don't know wich upgrade to pick?)

Thanks in advance

Hello and welcome.
Actually, if you are using NUke6.5 final, then you are running the latest release of the phpBB port in your Nuke. Analyzer may be reporting an older version but that just needs changed in the Database.
_bbconfig table, change version from .0.2 to .0.4

As for the config.php not in the Nuke root. Yes it is recommended to remove it but not absolutely necessary.
I'm not sure what the problem is there with moving it, unless it has something to do with phpBB's config.php file and the path.
