did you chmod your includes/phpbb_security.php file to 666?

[Glenn53]

Yes It was 666 but in the install instructions it says to change back to 644 , but i changed back to 666 and tried again but still nothing . the boxes are still empty The Admin and mod ones .

ok i downloaded the includes/phpbb_security.php from the website then i got the one from out of an uninstalled IntegraMOD IM141 , and this is the only thing that was different between the 2 phpbb_security.php files .

function phpBBSecurity_AdminConfigName()
{
return 'xxxf';
return 'phpBBSecurity_max_admins';
}

function phpBBSecurity_ModConfigName()
{
return 'xxx';
return 'phpBBSecurity_max_mods';
}

function phpBBSecurity_UseSpecial()
{
return 'xxx';
return 'phpBBSecurity_use_max';
}

not sure if this helps ..

I x'd out the numbers for your security. They are the numbers you should have in your phpbb security fields in your DB. If they do not match, you will get the error you posted. there are a few posts here that tell how to compare/fix them.

Thankyou for removing the codes as i was iffy about it but not sure .

I went to the first link you posted and it fixed the problem .

Thankyou again .

The code in phpmyadmin was different to what was in the includes/phpbb_security.php,
just wondering what would cause it to be different as this was a fresh install and a new database

Thankyou

the code posted was for 140. 141 uses random generated fields for better security, but as long as phpbb_security matches the db fields your all good

I had the same probelm and re ran the security install and edited the file exactly like it said after the install and all is good to go now.
