MySQL With PHPbb?
Is it enough to just install mySQL on the webbserver for the phpbb-forum to work? Or do I have to create my own database-files with predefined tables too?

Phpbb And Firefox
I am developping a forum using phpbb 2.0.17 (the lastest version). My forum url is www.qnhl.com. The problem is the following: When you make a new post in a specific forum, this forum should show the "new post" icon instead of the "no new post" one. But it's not the case in Mozilla firefox. The "no new post" is always there. What's the problem? Anything related with cookies? Note that I don't have this problem with Internet Explorer.
Phpbb Forum
I'm experiencing some problems trying to get my phpbb forum to work with mysql. I'm running the newest version of apache, and php is installed and working, but I'm not quite sure about what I have to do with the MySQL database part to get it working. If anyone knows of any tutorials or anything I would be grateful Just for reference: I'm a newb when it comes to both php, and MySQL.

PHPBB Can't Connect To Database
So i'm running Apache, PHP, and MySQL 4.x/5.x (i've attempted both) on Win2k. When i try to install phpBB2 it says it can't connect to the database Connection to database You have not established a connection to MySQL 4.x.

Editing Not Working In PhpBB
After transfering my forum from one server to another, editing stopped working. You can go to phpBB's edit link, but when you try to edit the post nothing is changed. Topic titles can be edited, but nothing else can (including uploaded files with the attachment MOD). If I edit it directly from phpMyAdmin it will work fine, but editing through the forum does nothing. On the last server it worked fine, although I'm pretty sure on my last server I was running on an older version of MySQL (3.x). On my new host (globat) I'm on MySQL 4.1.Nothing was changed in phpBB's scripts since the transfer, so nothing would have taken away the ability to edit post text. If anybody knows what is stopping these things I would greatly appreciate the help, since I've been looking for a solution for quite some time now.
Seprate Database For PHPBB
I have a databse for the main website that will contain ~15 tables. Are there any advantages/disadvantages to merging and seprating and what is generally the best way to go? I'm also interested to hear about (other) situations in wich you would choose for an additional database to increase my insight in the subject.
Help Rewriting A Slow Phpbb Query
I have a "glance" or "Recent Topics" list on my forums that have become fairly complex. I modified an already feature rich glance mod to allow users to select individual forums to exclude from showing topics in the list. As well when users are members of certain forum groups, they see topics from the group forum in the list, and they are highlighted a different colour. The main SQL query to create the list often is showing up in the MySQL Slow_query log and I'm pretty sure is the main cause for the page loading slow. I am no mysql Guru, so I thought I would seek the advice of some to improve or totaly rewrite this slow query. PHP $sql = "SELECT f.forum_id, f.forum_name, t.topic_title, t.topic_id, t.topic_last_post_id, t.topic_poster, t.topic_views, t.topic_replies, t.topic_type, p2.post_time, p2.poster_id, u.username as last_username, u2.username as author_username FROM " . FORUMS_TABLE . " f, " . POSTS_TABLE . " p, " . TOPICS_TABLE . " t, " . POSTS_TABLE . " p2, " . USERS_TABLE . " u, " . USERS_TABLE . " u2 WHERE f.forum_id NOT IN (" . $forumsignore . $glance_recent_ignore . ") AND t.forum_id = f.forum_id AND p.post_id = t.topic_first_post_id AND p2.post_id = t.topic_last_post_id AND t.topic_moved_id = 0 AND p2.poster_id = u.user_id AND t.topic_poster = u2.user_id ORDER BY t.topic_last_post_id DESC"; $sql .= ($glance_recent_offset) ? " LIMIT " . $glance_recent_offset . ", " . $glance_num_recent : " LIMIT " . $glance_num_recent; The "NOT IN" list varies per user, but here is an example: NOT IN (77,75,76,25,26,37,63,64,66,67,67,1,25,26,37,70,28,75,76,78)

Tables Import PhpBB/phpNuke
My existing site is ok but limited and I'm now at the point where I would like to use a CMS, but I want to import all the old sites membership and comments into the new install. I HAVE A SCRIPT THAT WILL DO THIS called. phpbb_nuke_conv.tar should anyone else ask. but for this to happen the phpBB data must be in the same database where the nuke data resides, ie moving the phpBB tables over to the nuke SQL database. The prefixes are different so there no problems there, could someone please point set-by-step for this proceedure. I'm sure it only a few buttons and it would save me an ENOURMOUS amount of time reading about a subject I would rather not.
MySQL Query Linking OpenCrypt & PhpBB
I understand that this will seem very novice to you all as developers, but I really need some expert eyes on my question because frankly the other forums have offered no real assistance. I have a customer database system called OpenCrypt installed and running on my website. OpenCrypt has built in features to connect to my mySQL database as to create phpBB accounts similtaneously as general website accounts are created on my website! Now. I am new to mySQL and am working on getting the correct syntax to work with my phpBB database. The following are my current fields in question: user_id -> I need these id's to be created sequentially when new rows are added to my table, phpbb_users. user_regdate -> What date parameters does phpBB read? Thanks for your help! This is my current simple syntax used to similtaneously add phpBB rows to the table, where %variable% refers to my OpenCrypt fields: INSERT INTO kylebt_Forums.phpbb_users SET `username` = '%username', `user_password`=MD5('%password%'), `user_email`='%email%'

Making Site Login Add Users To Phpbb Database Table
I have a login script for my site that I got off the net and was planning to use, but, I also wanted to make it so that when a user signed up thru the registration form it would also add them to the phpbb database's table. It wasn't discussed heavily from where i got the script but from what was mentioned the encryptions differ which results in a rejected login. Code:
