Error 500 about mediawiki_phpbb_auth HOT 12 CLOSED

It doesn't matter the URL of the wiki/forum, what matters is that the wiki extension can read some specific phpbb files, so you should put the path to the phpbb directory in the server's file system. If they're on completely different servers, you'll need to download phpbb and put it into a directory on the mediawiki server, even though you aren't going to run phpbb there, but just so that mediawiki can get the phpbb files.

And just to be safe, try it without the / at the end.

from mediawiki_phpbb_auth.

Unfortunelly the / didn't work out, still error 500.
Complete path to forums:
/var/www/vhosts/myrootdomain.com/forums.mydomain.com/
/var/www/vhosts/myrootdomain.com/wiki.mydomain.com/

from mediawiki_phpbb_auth.

Right, then you would set PathToPHPBB to be ../forums.mydomain.com. If that doesn't work, please post the full exception (turn on debugging in mediawiki.)

Fatal error: Call to a member function bind_param() on boolean in /extensions/Auth_phpbb.php on line 507

That sounds like a MySQL error. Check that your have MySQLi enabled in your php.ini, and that the database settings are correct.

from mediawiki_phpbb_auth.

It is, and database settings is imported from config.php from phpbb root folder.

changed apache to nginx and that worked (no idea why)
But.. [4d622f167bef525bb179b9ab] 2017-04-30 12:38:56: Fatal exception of type "Error"

Tried running a fresh install of both phpbb and wiki, and it still bugs.

from mediawiki_phpbb_auth.

Ok i made some shit. Reinstalled server now works.
However i can't login using forum creds.

from mediawiki_phpbb_auth.

I'm not sure what the problem is then, try enabling full stacktraces ($wgShowExceptionDetails = true; in LocalSettings.php.)

And post your php, mediawiki, phpbb, and this extension's version.

from mediawiki_phpbb_auth.

Was bug on the webserver. Reinstalled the server and it worked.
However if i use phpbb 3.1 can this still work then?

from mediawiki_phpbb_auth.

Good you got it working.

I think it'll work with phpbb 3.1, but it's not supported, i.e. untested. If it doesn't work, you can grab one of the old releases that is tested with phpbb 3.1 (but then of course you won't be getting any updates.)
