quick question

[xuxgxwx]

when i log into mysql it says no privileges have been set and mcrpt extension fails to load...how do i go about fixing this issue i think this is the cause of some of the other problems im having trying to get the visual verification to work on my site....any help with this would be appreciated...

Hello,
mcrypt isnt required for anything important in php+mysql tasks, but its rather strange that it says something about priveleges.

Could you please send me your mysql login (only login) via private message, so i'll be able to check what's goin on there.

[xuxgxwx]

sure....but its telling me to check my php config for the mcrypt extension but i cant find anything about it in there anywhere

Mcrypt is a external library providing encryption for php.
Here's manual for it http://www.php.net/mcrypt
Do you really need this, or you're just worry about that message in phpMyAdmin?

[xuxgxwx]

well the reason i think that is causing the visual verification from displaying is cause the other server i was on previously doesnt have any probs with it at all no issues with the mycrpt either....from what i was reading that i could find it was telling me to change something to enable it in the php.ini file but thats not in my directory thats hidden so i cant do that...tried reloading phpbb2 from scratch and it still didnt work so im just lost and cant figure it out thats the only problem that i have outta all the tests ive ran and files ive checked

[xuxgxwx]

i just dont see anything else possible it can be...everything is set up the exact same way as my previous site minus that....ive been trying to figure this out for the last 2 days with no luck on my side at all

[support@ayola.net]

Oh, i see now

You worry about this line: Create new database: No Privileges

It only means that you cant create new database, but still can use your existing one.
When your account was created, there was mysql database created for you. It has the same name as you login.
So, you should just use that database. And as i see, you've already filled it with some data, i see 30 tables in your database. Looks like phpbb

To select that database you should just use drop-down menu at the left side of phpMyAdmin.

So, as i see your database is have data and works fine.

Can you please tell me now, what problem do you have?

[xuxgxwx]

the problem im having is that i cant put a visual verification up because there is something wrong somewhere....ive installed everything with no problems 2 times already...even if i install another mod for visual verification it still dont work the only difference is that extension not loading in mysql .....if you wanna look at the other site you can see the verification comming up with no problem at all. that address is http://universalpalace.freeweb7.com i cant find anything on my end. i know its not the install and i know its not just this computer cause ive checked on a different computer so im totally lost

[xuxgxwx]

and from what ive read on some of the forums it could be cause by that but theres no way for me to check that on my end cause i dont have access to those files but even if i create a new database that still doesnt give me the ability to set the permission over the database so its still not gonna load mcrypt extension and if it doesnt work i dont mind you changing it back at all but its the only thing i can think of thats left

Visual verification - do you mean those numbers at phhBB registration form?

[xuxgxwx]

yes ive seen all to well what the spam bots can do to forum's im pretty sure your aware of that too

[support@ayola.net]

There's no problem in MySQL with this issue, looke like you've got old phpBB
Let me fix if for you, dont overwrite profile.php.

[xuxgxwx]

if you could fix it i would be greatful.....i ran a check on the php.ini file if you want me to post the results i can do that if you would like that was a latest version that i downloaded tho

[support@ayola.net]

Please send me admin login and pass to your forum.

There's no need to fix anything in php.ini.
I think i know what's going on, but i need admin login and pass to check it and fix it if i'm right.

[xuxgxwx]

admin login sent pm

I've reinstalled your forum and patched file usercp_confirm.php
There was a bit incorrect routine that inspects php settings.

Now everything works fine.
Your password is the same, and login too (UnGodlyWrath)

[support@ayola.net]

Well, to be honest i've stolen it from some user at our blog service ayola.ru

[xuxgxwx]

[xuxgxwx]

ftp servers down?

[support@ayola.net]

No sure, why should they?

[xuxgxwx]

cause the ftp server isnt letting me connect to it at all just curious well ftp-1 wont let me anyhow

[xuxgxwx]

hey what exactly did you patch that file with for me yesterday a frind of mine is gonna switch to phpbb and hes having the same problem

[support@ayola.net]

You can just give me his account name, and i wil patch that file.

But to be honest, i'd suggest you both to use another forum - SMF, like this one. Very powerfull forum
