That occurs whenever the load or session limit is exceeded ... if you cannot reach the admin panel you'll need to manually change the limit_load and/or active_sessions configuration variables (in the config table). Set them to 0 to ignore load/session limits (active_sessions is "off" by default, i.e. set to 0). Remember to delete the cache/global.php file.

Consider this is a one off freebie ;) Support isn't usually given for CVS versions.

"phpBB 2.1.x is the development branch of the next major release of phpBB2. It introduces a significant number of core changes to various routines and functions as well as the database schema. We heavily recommend that you do not use these snapshots unless you are very comfortable with manual database work, editing of PHP files, etc. Absolutely no support is offered for phpBB 2.1.x releases, not even Milestones.

Things may well be (very!) broken from time to time, do not post asking when these will be fixed, you'll receive no answer."

A standard config.php looks like:

<?php
// phpBB 2.x auto-generated config file
// Do not change anything in this file!
$dbms = 'mysql';
$dbhost = 'localhost';
$dbport = '';
$dbname = '<database name>';
$dbuser = '<database user>';
$dbpasswd = '<database password>';

$table_prefix = 'phpbb_';
$acm_type = 'file';
$load_extensions = '';

define('PHPBB_INSTALLED', true);
?>

Change the values accordingly.

If your server doesn't by default make available the mysql module (for example) then phpBB can load it for you. It only functions on servers which allow user dl().

Ah righto, I was assuming phpBB modules, though admittedly config.php would be a slightly odd place to put it. :D

PHP modules make far more sense. :D
