Title: MySQL phpBB3 and tor hidden service help
Post by: badboy97 on February 11, 2012, 08:19 pm
I provide a lending service to Silk Road members and I am trying to get my server up and running properly.

I have php running and configured properly.  Mysql does not connect to my server and I cannot access my data.

You can see here is the furthest that I have gotten...  http://jd2udfdy2lizwu3t.onion/phpBB3/install/

Talk about frustrating I have been trying to get the forum to work for over a week now.

You can see my configuration here for php here...  http://jd2udfdy2lizwu3t.onion/phpinfo.php

Any help would be tremendously beneficial to my service.  Thank you in advance.

Not sure if this will help, but try setting it up as a normal site first - before adding Tor and hidden services into the mix?

I have considered this, but I need to know what the core problem is.  I will be adding many more features other than phpbb forums.  I think it would be best to sort out the problem so I do not run into it in the future.  Also, it is a bit different running a hidden service.  I cannot access localhost from my server, which is what I think the main problem is.  I am still rather new to apache2 and php/mysql.
