I am having the same issue with the same set up
As for common.php – I changed the original common.php to common-orig.php and uploaded the supplied common.php to the root of my /forum When I view the forum I get this error
“Warning: include(./common.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /homepages/34/d173031521/htdocs/FLI-FINAL/forum/index.php on line 20
Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening ‘./common.php’ for inclusion (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php5′) in /homepages/34/d173031521/htdocs/FLI-FINAL/forum/index.php on line 20
Fatal error: Call to a member function session_begin() on a non-object in /homepages/34/d173031521/htdocs/FLI-FINAL/forum/index.php on line 24″
If I copy the original Common.php from the WP install it fixes reverts back to the original.
And when I copy auth_wpbb.php to includes/auth/ I get this error
“[phpBB Debug] PHP Warning: in file [ROOT]/common.php(87) : eval()’d code on line 479: include_once(./includes/auth/auth_wpbb.php) [function.include-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory
[phpBB Debug] PHP Warning: in file [ROOT]/common.php(87) : eval()’d code on line 479: include_once() [function.include]: Failed opening ‘./includes/auth/auth_wpbb.php’ for inclusion (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php5′)”
It will also delete itself when I choose the INSTALL butoon in the WP settings for PHPBB Options. In that same page everything is marked as ‘OK’ except for Auth Mode which never seems to change to OK.
What the hell am I doing wrong?
I’m having a problem with these two files as well: the Options page shows that the versions of both files are 0.8.7, but the RECOMMENDED version is 0, and thus it shows them both being in error.
Hmmm, and oddly, the plugin does seem to be working properly, despite the errors… it just puts an “Installation is almost complete” at the top of the page for everyone who logs in.
Also plugin says:
auth_wpbb.php
This file must be copied from to W:\home\mydomain\www\phpbb\includes\auth/auth_wpbb.php
common.php
This file must be copied from to W:\home\domain\www\phpbb/common.php
But these files exists in that folders
I noticed that there’s no information in this (on my install too) showing where you are supposed to copy the files FROM!
They’re hiding in the plugins folder in wp-content, in ‘Files’.
That didn’t solve my problem on it’s own though – it’s still broken!
