Hello.
Atmos,Is the error code you got the one below:"Programming Error – Exception occurred – The Parameter is incorrect."If it is did you rip te disk in file mode all of the disk or did you use iso mode. You should use file mode all of the disk. DVDDecrypter was aware of this error and a fix was going to happen but he had to cease operation.You might also try DVDFAB Decrypter to rip the disk to HD or you can use the trial version of AnyDVD along w/ Shrink

My SQL command clinet is not accepting the following syntax:

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON phpbb3.* to phpbb3admin@localhost IDENTIFIED BY ‘phpbb3password’;

It either tells me the syntax is incorrect and to check the manual or just gives me another line option. Everything to this point is perfect. Any thoughts? I have copied and pasted the text from the site into the command client and same issue (I ensured that no extra spaces were pasted).

I do not know much about these things but I am using convertx to dvd and converting an avi to dvd. The quality looks good in a small window on my pc but when I put it on my large 46 inch flat screen not so good. Is it possbile to convert this movie to 1080i or is there anything that will make this video any better on a larger screen or is this as good as it will get. Thanks for any help with this.

First, I would be nice if people stopped posting spam here!!!!

Second, even though I know that you could easily write the URL down or copy and paste it in IE and then bookmark it so your message is SPAM…

But if there is any chance it is true, then if you followed the instructions exactly, first by installing MySQL, then installing PHPBB3 as above, it should work. If it is not working, start over fresh (i.e remove PHPBB3 and MySQL). I had to do that after it did not work the first time in order for PHPBB3 to work properly. I also had to use a different database name the second time around cause the first one was still in use even though I had removed MySQL.

oops, forgot to include my site: http://thesisko.homeserver.com

oh and Devan, yes, you need to actually install mySQL for the instructions to work. There is another post for it linked to from the phpBB3 instructions.

I am having difficulties getting this installed properly. I have followed all the instructions exactly as stated here for installing phpBB3. I installed PHP, mySQL etc… I keep getting an error page instead of the install page. I made a link on the “home” page of my site for access to the forum. All the access permissions were set, I restarted several times, the SQL service is running. Only thing that appears to be odd is PHP extension files, when trying to open them, loop back to an open dialog over and over again without actually opening it. Any ideas?

Hi – I just installed windows home server and wanted to make a PHP site for the learning experience. Decided I was going to go with phpbb3 because I was most familar with this.

I configured PHP to work with IIS, however I am stuck on the part where it states

Go the the start menu, and run “MySQL Command Line Client”. This will immediately ask you to enter a password. Enter the password you used when setting up MySQL. Now you need to create the database that phpBB3 is going to use. We’re going to the name “phpbb3″ for the database. Feel free to change the name to whatever you want. It should look like this:

When I run it – says it does not exist do I need to download this software?
