Apache Friends Support Forum

I'm trying to install an phpbb forum on my xampp server.

The installation have worked, i can see the test section they put in by default, but when I try to log in the forum, it gave me a response like if the page was not there (not a 404 error, the default page that appear when you try to go on a web site when you're not connected to your ISP)

The adress of where the forum go to log in is :

http://127.0.0.1/dofus/forum/login.php? ... 426c1cf96a

When I fist intall the forum, the admin account was automatically connected (default option).

So the problem should be when the server try to read my login.php page...?

it gave me a response like if the page was not there (not a 404 error,)

Should we guess? Please post the error message that you really have.

BTW:
IMHO phpBB have it's own support forum...

The error is the general page generated by windows when you try to open IE and you're not conncted to Internet... the one that tell Impossible to find the page (or something like that... i'm french native, so it's a lillte hard to me to tell you what it is...)

By the way, i've seen something weird : the page don't show up, but it do his job (to start the SESSION for my forum account). So the code is read, but i'm wondering why they don't show the page i want to see...

I don't think the problem is the forum... it is working on others server...

Maybe there is first a page that start the session and then make a redirect to a second page. But the redirect uses a wrong server part in the URI that IE/OS can't find. (possible missconfiguration of the forum)

I found another topic on the forum here that show my problem (the only difference is that it is not working on my own computer...)

http://community.apachefriends.org/f/viewtopic.php?t=19518

But Izzy told that the problen is not my server.... Do I have to look somwwhere else to try to resolve de problem...?

(the only difference is that it is not working on my own computer...)

You mean, the phpBB is not installed on your own box. It's installed on another pc?

no it is installed on my own computer, i can see the forum, the only problem is when i try to log in. That is here that the 404 error show up, but if I hit the back button, i'm logged in (or out if I try to log out)

That is here that the 404 error show up

Sorry, that's the opposite to:

not a 404 error

What's true?

my error, it is an 404 error...

I just mistaken 2 kind of error... the one i have is an 404

it is an 404 error

"error.log"?

saying nothing? .... i've just done another time the "bug", and then i went into the error.log and the're nothing of that, the last entry is half an hour ago...

I got another 404 error when I click on the link to go on the admin page :

http://127.0.0.1/dofus/forum/admin/inde ... a1d4a7d85d

the admin page require to log in another time before accesing the admin panel...

I wonder if it is the sid=44622885067948c8cb31e8a1d4a7d85d that could create the bug... is it possible that the server is not configure to take this?

I've made a test : I tried another link that require to pass variables
http://127.0.0.1/dofus/forum/profile.ph ... rofile&u=2

this one work

EDIT : Tried another link (I've go in a sub-forum) the link :
http://127.0.0.1/dofus/forum/modcp.php? ... a1d4a7d85d

So the sid thing don't seem to be the problem...

i've just done another time the "bug", and then i went into the error.log and the're nothing of that

Then you have no error 404. An error 404 is allways reported in the "error.log".

... now i'm lost

eee so, where do you think that the problem is? The code in the pages have to be read, or i would not be connected when i try to...
