    Failed opening required 'config.inc.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/php4/lib/php')

    I just installed POC and I am getting this error. My site is hosted by POWWeb, so I don't have access to the server beyond my root folder. Can I not use POC with POWWeb?

    TIA,

      Here is the solution.
      When you unzip the files, if you are using telnet connection, you will see among other file:

      config.inc.php and
      config.inc.php-dist

      Mysteriously, the file config.inc.php will dissapear!!! Don't ask me how and why?

      However you will still see the file config.inc.php-dist
      Change name of this file to config.inc.php

      It should work fine.

      Actually the problem is that step 1 erases the config.inc.php file for some reason.

        Like I said, eventhough the config.inc.php is deleted, you will still see a file: config.inc.php-dist

        change the name of this file to config.inc.php

        it should work.
        good luck

      Ok, I did as you suggested and I don't get the error anymore on step but I just get a blank screen except for the step # graphics at the top. I also tried replacing the file with the original and got the same result. Looking through the code, it appears that step is to test the mysql connection so I made doubly sure that my connection information was correct and it is the same as my phpbb info. I will be with you on the next step also, per your other post. Once I get it working, I would like to integrate it with my phpbb forums. Although I have been considering going with php-nuke which may make all of the redundant.

      By the way, thanks for the help. I really appreciate it.
