Re: kbd512 Postings

For kbd512 re move of phpBB3 site from Azure to Mars Society...

I created an account for you to explore the phpBB3 site and sent the password by email.

I'm hoping we might be able to set up the site as a / extension from NewMars.com


For example, perhaps? NewMars.com/images

As a reminder, the address for the images site is: http://40.75.112.55/phpBB3/

We have until November 15th to complete the transfer.

Re: kbd512 Postings

tahanson43206,

If I understand the request correctly, I'm going to install / publish the phpBB3 web app on our NewMars web server.

What about database requirements?

Do I need to install and configure a database schema on our MySQL Server as well?

Is this a "standard" phpBB3 setup, or have you customized the phpBB3 web app or the database schema in any way?

I'm talking about editing the php files or database schema tables and objects, not any photos you've added.

Edit:
This web app is purely for local storage of user-generated media files, such as the rocketry-related PowerPoint presentations / photos / videos created by GW Johnson, correct?

Re: kbd512 Postings

For kbd512 re #327

Thank you for following up on my request to see if it might be possible to install the phpBB3 forum package on the Mars Society server.  The application has been running for some time on the Azure test site.  I ** think ** it should be possible to simply zip the database and install it at the Mars Society server, since the database has already been configured to look like the existing FluxBB system. The first step would be to install the software and see if it can be called using newmars.com/images

If that works, then we can consider whether we want to copy the database or start with the new empty database.

I assume/hope that 99% of the work is installing the phpBB3 package. At the web site for phpBB3 there are multiple versions.  I am hoping we can replicate what we have on the Azure site. 

I added your ID to the Azure site so you can log in and get a sense of how the package works.

The password was emailed to the email address I have on file. 

Note for SpaceNut: If this works, we will need to edit the links to the Azure site.  There may be a way to find all occurrences of the address and update them in a single operation.  Otherwise can can perform the edits manually.
