Hello all,
I just downloaded MyBB 1.4.3 and checked out the "Config.default.php" file in: mybb_1403\Upload\inc\
But, it appears to be 0KB, and when I open the file with notepad it comes up completely blank.
I've re-downloaded the file several times and it's the same result.
Can I please get some assistance?
Thank-you!
It's supposed to be a blank file.
Think of it as a memory card, and your forum as a video game.
When you save data, it goes to that file. (Which is why you should NEVER override or delete it).
Also, be sure to rename it to config.php
V What he said.
It is blank when you first get it because the installer writes to it
Ahh, I could've sworn older versions had data.
Oh well, thanks!
They might have had data in, can't remember now... but anyways, now, when the installer is run and you enter the database info, it's written to - make sure it's CHMODd to 666 to do that, and also make sure you rename it to just config.php
Edit: If you are ever in need, here is a sample config.php:
<?php
/**

* database configuration for larger installations
* http://wiki.mybboard.net/
*/
$config['database']['type'] = 'mysql';
$config['database']['hostname'] = 'localhost';
$config['database']['username'] = 'mysql-username';
$config['database']['password'] = 'mysql-password';
$config['database']['database'] = 'database-name';
$config['database']['table_prefix'] = 'mybb_';

*/
$config['hide_admin_links'] = 0;

$config['cache_store'] = 'db';
/**

$config['super_admins'] = '1';

$config['db_encoding'] = 'utf8';

*/
$config['log_pruning'] = array(
'admin_logs' => 365, // Administrator logs
'mod_logs' => 365, // Moderator logs

Let the installer create it the first time, but if you ever lose it and can't get another one (as it's blank) use this

The installer will attempt to rename it first and will alert you to rename it if it cannot.
