I was thinking of someone else. Not eloquent dissenters such as yourself. Hell, what's the pont of having an indie site if you can't have an indie point-of-view. Also I need to go in and change that TOS thing. I over looked that. Thanks. The whole point of the site is to get away from the 3000AD tranny and bring a little "truth in BC' to the general space-sim gaming public. I had the whole thing set up to run under phpnuke, and it was working great on my HDD, but as Murphy's Law would have it, once I uploaded the damn thing to server, everything went to shit. Well, at least the forum worked. Anyway..back to the grindstone.

Shingen, if you run out of SQL errors please let me know and I can write you a correlated subquery error that will knock your socks off.

Anyone know anything about PHP and/or phpnuke, and why a php page would load as a blank white page? The server supports PHP, mysql4 and I think the server is running Apache2. All the tables in the database are right, and the config.php file is set to the database, but it still loads as a blank white page. Is there something I'm missing here? Why would phpBB2 work and not phpnuke? I had Apache2, PHP, MySql4 and phpnuke all working on a localhost server, but on this stupid online server, it's all screwed up! =(

Not only is it fun to pronounce, it looks like an obscene emoticon. Bret

Don't piss about with phpBB2 or phpnuke. Do the job properly. Lemming -- Curiosity *may* have killed Schrodinger's cat.

This may be a silly question, but does the online server actually support php? try putting in a page called something like test.php in your webroot[1] there, with the following in it --- <?php phpinfo(); ?> <p>some dumb text</p> --- If the page shows up with reams of info on the setup and installed extensions for php then php is working fine.[2] If the some dumb text is visible at the top of the page, then php isn't running, and if nothing comes up at all, then start screaming at someone, because somethings fucked somewhere. ;) [1] or /var/www or htdocs, or whatever it is called on that system, whereever you put the frontpage of the site. [2] the html should be at the bottom of the page somewhere, and if it shows up above the fold then you have a stupidly big monitor, and a daft reolution ;) -- James jamesk[at]homeric[dot]co[dot]uk We demand rigidly defined areas of doubt and uncertainty - DNA (HHGTTG)

Sure..I just added a new Flame Central catagory to the forums. One of my users was complaining about not having any "general topics" forums. ..of course.. this being a BC site we needed a "general topics" forum (ie: Flaming Forum) ..and since it's an Indie site, who am I to argue?! Maybe we can piss off even The Most High Honorable Supreme Taco Commander Himself!... not that I'm holding my breathe or anything...why would I want to? What's he know about BC anyway? Funny thing though..I just found out that someone posted a link to the site at 3000AD and then that thread suddenly disappeared... Inquiring minds? Nah! =P
