phpBB installation, permissions

Just a quick item of note:
Installation Guide says: chmod -rw-rw-rw- config.php

Most often this would be done using an FTP client.
I have been unable to do this, and assume its because the dir does not
have 'w' set for group, other. I know when creating dir's on a Unix
host, the dir takes on the permissions of its parent. I'm also
guessing that its rare for "htdocs" directories to have 'w' set and to
do a chmod for config.php requires changing every dir on the tree.

I also noticed some hosts have installers or fantastico to install
phpBB.
Is there any difference, compared to doing it manually ?
Any comments ? ( I know this isn't specifically a PHP question;
didn't know a better group )

Well the title might be a bit misleading: Some time ago I was trying to reverse engineer the authentification system in phpBB because I was building a community site in which there was a phpBB Forum integrated as central component. The idea was to give the users the possibility to log in once and then move on the entire site without having to bother about login again. It didn't go very well, I was able to use the login data and some other...

Please does someone know whether a tool that I look for exists and where? I need some PHP script that would transform phpBB codes to valid XHTML. phpBB codes are the metatags used to format posts to phpBB-powered forums, like the one at http://www.winlyrics.com . I started writing my own parser, but still I would rather use some more tested code. Thanks, Ondra

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
