I've got a problem in phbb 2.0.18 nuke 7.6 3.1patched:

Code:

Warning: main(./../config.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/mhd-01/www.nardocalcio.com/htdocs/modules/Forums/admin/admin_avatar.php on line 72





Warning: main(): Failed opening './../config.php' for inclusion (include_path='./:/usr/local/web/php/lib/pear') in /home/mhd-01/www.nardocalcio.com/htdocs/modules/Forums/admin/admin_avatar.php on line 72

What I must do?

Does your modules/Forums/admin/admin_avatar.php lines 69 thru 73 look like this:

Code:




$root_path = "./../../../";


$phpbb_root_path = './../';


require($phpbb_root_path . 'extension.inc');


include($phpbb_root_path . 'config.'.$phpEx);


require('pagestart.' . $phpEx);

The lines are similar, no differences...

I've put the config.php file in another folder for security (editing then common.php). I've followed an italian site istrunctions.

Could this error depends from this change?

Absolutely. You will need to modify the line:

Code:




include($phpbb_root_path . 'config.'.$phpEx);

to reflect the actual location of config.php

The Forums config.php in phpNuke shouldn't contain any sensitve information. So why should you hide it?

If, for example, config.php is in Forums/NEWFOLDER, how must I change it?
I've made this change because I've read it's useful against lamers.

include($phpbb_root_path . '/NEWFOLDER/config.'.$phpEx);

Though I dont see what benefit this will give you other than creating problems with other forum hacks and add-ons.
