Hey,
I am running WAMP 2.0 server from home http://princemgeorge.myvnc.com/
Not to long ago i added a PHP Message Board from http://www.phpjunkyard.com/php-message-board.php everything works fine but when one create the message and enter, the message doesn't post. you can try it http://princemgeorge.myvnc.com/mboard
I was told by the Author of the Script that the problem was with my "your PHP sessions on general don't work. It's a PHP configuration issue. Make sure your PHP sessions work, I'm afraid I can't help you get those working." http://developers.phpjunkyard.com/vi...er=asc&start=0
also the PHP script Message board worked on the localhost, it was posting the massage. But after i port forward to make it online it doesn't post.

Please help
Thank you

Try running this script on your server:

Code: Select all

<?php
session_start();
if (!isset($_SESSION['test']))
{
    $_SESSION['test'] = 'Your sessions work.';
    echo 'Refresh this page. If you see this same message, your sessions do not work.';
}
else
{
    echo $_SESSION['test'];
}
?>
If that works, there is something wrong with the message board script you downloaded, not your sessions.
Hey there,
this is the link, it seems that the sessions work. i dont think there is anything wrong with the script, because it worked on my local server before i port forward it. http://princemgeorge.myvnc.com/test2.php

Thank you for the help :D

[quote="McInfo"]Whenever I click on one of your links, I get a frames page that tries to redirect me to your server, but then I get a network timeout. I don't think your server is accessible outside of your local network.[/quot

It was working. Question? DO you live in the United States or outside?

It might not be an issue, but you are using port 4444. (71.167.34.4:4444) It seems to me that you should be using port 80 or 8080. I could be wrong.

Also, for security reasons, you probably should not be running a WAMP server on the Internet with the default php.ini.
hey,
Thank you for the reply. the computer was turned off at around the time u posted. i am using port 4444 because its a port forward. my isp block port 80. http://princemgeorge.myvnc.com/
