 * My WP is 3.4.1. My phpBB is 3.0.10. My PHP Single Sign On is 0.8.7.
    My WP path
   is “/”. My phpBB path is “/phpbb/”. All files has been copied to correct folders.
   All fields has been filled correct values. Now information table prints: Wordpress
   Path Variable phpbb/ OK Auth Mode wpbb wpbb OK auth_wpbb.php 0 0.8.7 Error common.
   php 0 0.8.7 Error common-orig.php – Original OK posting.php Да Да OK functions_user.
   php Да Да OK
 * If I click on the “Install” button for error files, then plugin deletes it.
 * 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.
 * What is the problem?

 * 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.

   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!
