Fantastico Is Not Installing Forums Properly - I cannot install SMF or PHPbb2!

gameratheart
Hey guys,

I am not entirely sure if you can help me here, seeing as how the forum software is not your own, but I have a problem with my site. Fantastico will not properly install any of the forum software.

To clarify: I have used Fantastico to install SMF and PHPbb2 on my site, but neither have worked properly. After installing SMF, when I visited the site, I got this message:

session_start(): Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output started at /home/dpteam/public_html/forums/Sources/Subs.php:232)


I have tried this three times and all three times it has given the same message. I then tried phpBB, and it worked fine for a while but after logging off and leaving the forums, I came back to them and got this message:

QUOTE
phpBB(): Critical Error
Could not connect to the database


What's wrong? Why aren't my forums working? Please help, this is majorly frustrating me.

Update: phpMyChat is not working either, as soon as I go onto the site I get the following message:

QUOTE
Warning: mysql_connect(): Access denied for user: 'dpteam_pchat1@localhost' (Using password: YES) in /home/dpteam/public_html/chat/chat/lib/database/mysql.lib.php3 on line 26
Database error: Link_ID == false, connect failed
MySQL error: 0 ()
Session halted.


Now I REALLY need support, someone reply soon.

Update 2: phpMyChat is working after all. It seems the script will not properly install if an admin account is defined in the installation. Leaving these fields blank made it work.

SMF definately does not work however. I have tried Phpbb again and this time it appears to work perfectly, but I will try to find out for certain.

I also have problem connecting into my Forums after I set it up through my cPanel. And because of all the trouble I ended up moving over to a Free Forum and just linking it to my website.

I remember a few months ago my cPanel had access to install a IPB Forum and now it isnt there anymore, it just appears to be a phpBB. So I dont know :|

Update 3: Phpbb does work perfectly. For some reason it seems to crash if you leave the site after admin'ing it for the first time, if you do not add any forums/topics/posts.

SMF is not working at all - I have done some more research and have found that the reason for this is that Fantastico does not setup your admin account correctly. As this is the account that controls the board, this causes the board to crash. You will need to put SMF on another way (anyone else know a way???)

The PhpChat only works if you do not define an admin account when you add it. In this case, your account name and pass will become admin.
There doesn't appear to be anywhere you can admin it though, so this is rather pointless.

I thought I was the only one habing problem installing something from Fantastico. My mySQL file were gone after the server shift (phpBB and chatroom were gone), and I thought everything is back to normal already, so I started to install everyting back. The Wordpress was not installing properly, I thought it has something to do with some files that I deleted.

Yes, it seems that the chatroom and forum mods aren't working properly. I have managed to install SMF through an installation file onto my site, so I am no longer affected, but there is something wrong with Fantastico regardless.

my host is trap17. .and they have fantastico..

At first.. when i tried to install the phpbb forum.. i also have the same problem.. "cannot connecto database"

SO i tried to intall simple machine forum.. which worked.. but the SQL database keep on crashing every now and then. I still have the same problem.

The problem still remain even after i upgrade my Simple Machine Forum from 1.03 to 1.1 RC1. So right now.. i'm thinking of installing the forum manully with the files i downloaded from www.simplemachines.org

Oh..and i couldn't get my karma to work on the forum..

Well, it's enabled now that we got the new IPB version. Fantastico is still mucking up installations, it seems, but phpBB works fine, SMF can be installed by going to their site, and everything else except PhpChat works perfectly.
