what does mean phpBB configuration file failed ?
UP
Hello all,
Same issue here:
phpBB configuration file failed!
and when I searched for this string "phpBB configuration file failed!" in the bug tracker DB I did not find anything...
I did find this and copy it - and manually edited and inserted it in the /home/mysite/config.php file...
[code:1] <?php
//
// phpBB 2.x auto-generated config file
// Do not change anything in this file!
//
$dbms = "mysql";
$dbhost = "localhost";
$dbname = "dbnamehere";
$dbuser = "usernamehere";
$dbpasswd = "dbpasswordhere";
$table_prefix = "phpbb_";
define('PHPBB_INSTALLED', true);
?>[/code:1]
HTH...
A mysterious error is a bug. File it in the tracker, and we'll get it fixed (and Jamie will probably be able to advise you on a workaround).

I'm riding on this post to see if you added it to the tracker; I couldn't find it doing a search; but didn't want to add it if it already existed.
Thanks

Just to let you know my issue turned out to be a mistake I made earlier by adding Joomla to a folder and not the Top level; then after I realized my mistake I uninstalled the Joomla Script and reinstalled it in the Top Level; doing a Validate Virtual Server Under Limits and Validation; gave an error folder joomla not found; I had to back up the Virtual Server and delete it and reinstall it to fix this; I think this needs to be fixed; it might be a bug; I did some searching and asked that question a few times and got no answer; but anyway after that it installed fine.
