Someone's trying to install phpBB3 on the box and when going to the install page these errors/notices are listed at the top.

Deprecated: Function set_magic_quotes_runtime() is deprecated in /home/leon/public_html/forum/builds/phpBB3/install/index.php on line 111

Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in /home/user/public_html/forum/builds/phpBB3/install/install_install.php on line 1462

[phpBB Debug] PHP Notice: in file /install/index.php on line 440: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /install/index.php:111)​

I'm trying to figure out if:
  1. is a phpBB 3 error, or
  2. something with the server: apache or php or other.

I'm aware magic_quotes_runtime is no longer supported in 5.3.0, but even commenting out the line in /usr/local/lib/php.ini (found via php -i | grep php.ini) and restarting httpd didn't fix. I didn't find anything on 'set_magic_quotes_runtime' on the forums and not much useful on the 'Cannot modify header information' prompt - I assume its related.

/etc/init.d/httpd -v

Thoughts?

Re: phpBB3 Install Issue: set_magic_quotes_runtime & Cannot modify header i

THanks for the reply.

I made the adjustment and the number of errors dropped but I still see this:

Deprecated: Function set_magic_quotes_runtime() is deprecated in /home/user/public_html/forum/builds/phpBB3/install/index.php on line 111

Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in /home/user/public_html/forum/builds/phpBB3/install/install_install.php on line 1462


I was able to push through the installation but somethings still not right as I see these errors:

Deprecated: Function set_magic_quotes_runtime() is deprecated in /home/user/public_html/forum/builds/phpBB3/common.php on line 106

Warning: require(./includes/functions_content.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/user/public_html/forum/builds/phpBB3/common.php on line 189

Warning: require(./includes/functions_content.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/user/public_html/forum/builds/phpBB3/common.php on line 189

Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required './includes/functions_content.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/user/public_html/forum/builds/phpBB3/common.php on line 189


I'm still unsure of what the problem could be: phpBB or the server (apache or php) or permissions.

Re: phpBB3 Install Issue: set_magic_quotes_runtime & Cannot modify header i

Hello :)

This looks like an issue with the script you are using. Ensure the latest version of that script is used, and if the issue persists, contact their support to determine if any specific changes should be made relative to the version of PHP you are using.

Thank you.

Again, thanks for the response. Turns out while I thought it was phpBB its actually a beta of phpbb platinum. doesn't display these errors. I'll check out the phpbb support forums to see what they have to say.

Many thanks again for your advice.
