[srobo-devel] Broken phpBB install

[Jeremy Morse]

Hi,

The phpBB install on saffron is broken:

[Sun Sep 20 21:58:47.608404 2015] [:error] [pid 7789] [client
127.0.0.1:38036] PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare ldap_escape() in
/var/www/phpbb/phpBB/includes/auth/auth_ldap.php on line 300, referer:
http://www.studentrobotics.org/forum/

I don't believe this is a security issue, it just seems likely that
there's a php version mismatch or something. It'd be great if someone
could take a puppet VM, work out what's going on, and recommend what to
do to fix it.

Thanks,

Indeed, there's a ticket for this:

While provisioning a new saffron clone using puppet doesn't entirely
work at the moment, it does get far enough to reproduce this.

I did some investigation last night, the results from which I dumped
onto the above ticket.

Hi,

I merged a patch and this just worked. This was actually amazing.

There was some errata, which I'll stick in the ticket.

Hi,

Forum deployed successfully, thanks Peter, I've copied all of the board
information from last year and guessed at most of the other config
options. (i.e.: no private messages).

To avoid publishing anything about the game yet, I've left the game
discussion forum named '?????'.
