I’m not really so sure what you’re looking for here. This blog entry is about setting up a forum for community discussions. I’m not sure I could recommend anything about proxy servers as I don’t know much about them. I thought I knew that all of them were anonymous, but maybe some are, to a degree, more anonymous.

Which are really anonymous?

Which can be used with facebook, myspace etc, in other words: are fresh ?

Which can you recommend?

Thanks for your help,
Dschibut

P.S.: In my country, the freedom of speech is somehow limited, please give me a hint, if you are not sure about your recommendation.

Just wanted to share my new experience.

If your Windows XP fails to start due to an error related to missing HAL.DLL, invalid Boot.ini or any other important system boot files you can repair this by using the XP installation CD. Just boot from your XP Setup CD and enter the Recovery Console. Then run “attrib -H -R -S” on the C:\Boot.ini file and remove it. Launch “Bootcfg /Rebuild” and then Fixboot

@bhaktiveda: I received an email from you and it sounds like the problem has been solved.

I found that I could not login to the database with the user I created according to your instructions. In the user table, the user I created had a Host entry of ‘%’. I had to specifically assign privileges to localhost with this command in order to then login and verify things:

grant all privileges on phpbb.* to user@localhost identified by ‘password’;
flush privileges;

Then things worked fine for me. As I understand it, thats only a concern if you’re connecting to mysql via a local socket. If you want to connect via TCP, you would do “user@hostname.com”. The wildcard character “%” did not work for me, I don’t know why.

Make sure the path is correct too. Browse to the /var/www/html folder and make sure that there is a folder called “forums” or “phpbb3″ in there that has all of the files. If the folder is called “phpbb3″ then you’ll have to use http://mywebsite/phpbb3/install/index.php.

I hope this helps.

Thanks for all the instruction on setting up phpBB3 forum I am in the step #4) Install the phpBB3 forums:

I am unable to load the http://mywebsite/forums/install/index.php page to configure the forum, can you please help me what I am doing wrong.

PS: The phpBB3 DB is properly setup and running.

Appreciateour guidance.
