Message Board

[bob1459]

I just recently added the board to my site and was wondering will I be able to add more forums to the one board? Can I have moderators? If I upgrade to Pro is that the price per month or per year??

Thanks,
Bob

For those kinds of features it's best to install your own board instead of the remote hosted ones. Try any of these:

Yabb
Ikonboard
Invisionboard
PHPBB

Thanks for the input. I never did one like this before so I am going to try Invision Board. The install guide looks good. Is there anything I need to know about installing on powwebs's server? Does powweb meet the requirements?

Thanks,
Bob

Should be a piece of cake :) Powweb is fully compatible with all the ones i've mentioned.

Well so far I cannot get past the SQL environment. Do you happen to know the proper entries??

SQL Host (localhost is usually sufficient)
SQL Database Name
SQL Username
SQL Password
SQL Table Prefix (You can leave this blank)

I have never done this before.

I get access denied when trying to continue.

I did change the permissions on the directories needed to read, write execute.

I am using Invision Board.

Maybe you can help or direct me to the proper place.

Thanks much,
Bob

bob,,,Have you ordered mySQL through OPS? If so login and it will have all this info in the SQL tab.

SQL Host EX: server.powweb.com (change server to server DB is on)
SQL Database Name :name you gave DB when you ordered
SQL Username : name you assigned as DB user
SQL Password : password you assigned for DB user
SQL Table Prefix : You can use the default for this.

Thanks for the quick response. I just got done ordering it. That was my problem. So I have got to the next screen to create the forum. I will let you know if there are any problems. Once again thanks much.
