General Error
SQL ERROR [ mysql4 ]
Table 'phpbb.phpbb_config' doesn't exist [1146]
An sql error occurred while fetching this page. Please contact an administrator if this problem persists.
When navigating to phpBB from the HDA page.
Also where is the setup/installation process for selecting an existing MySQL database?

Hmm. Does this happen every time you navigate to the page?
Also, on a one click install, it automatically (or should) insert all data into the mysql db, so that all you have to go to the forum and login and change settings etc. That way theres little interaction to the user.

Try installing now, I have installed some depends that might help the problem, let me know.
Also a couple of things, are you using Fedora 10 or 11?

OK, I removed and reinstalled with an identical result.
Fedora release 9 (Sulphur).

Ahhh fedora 9. Im sorry but I have not tested on F9. Is there any reason you have not upgraded to F10 or just not heard its supported?
If you would like to upgrade (highly recommended unless you've had problems with F10) then all you need to do is download the
Fedora 10 DVD ISO file and burn it to a DVDR. Pop it in and boot from it, select the
upgrade option, and let it run its course, then boot into your newly updated HDA and run the
FIRST command on the Fedora-10 WIKI page:
http://wiki.amahi.org/index.php/Fedora-10 and you should be all fixed up. Nothing should be lost, BUT
I STRONGLY SUGGEST YOU BACKUP IMPORTANT FILES
This update procedure has been done time and time again with no problems, so I think it will for you as well, but you can NEVER be too careful.
If you need more guidance let me know or stop by the
IRC Channel and chat with me (username bk)

Ah...back at home after a week working away. Thank you for the response. I'll get right on the backup (better safe than sorry) and then upgrade to FC10. I've no objection to upgrading, I prefer to be using the latest (except, as you say, when there are issues).
I'll report more results as soon as I have some. Ta!

OK the upgrade went reasonably well. I do, however, get this error when logging in via VNC which probably accounts for why my uShare folders are unavailable. Everything else *appears* to work.

OK thanks for you help cpg, the yum update all fixed the file sharing and Nautilus error. I now have a server upgraded to Fedora Core 10 and exactly the same error message from phpBB...

check the error logs for phpbb please (under the logs/ directory for phpbb ... probably /var/hda/web-apps/phpbb/logs/).

[Tue Sep 22 21:58:35 2009] [error] [client 192.168.1.101] File does not exist: /var/hda/web-apps/phpbb/html/favicon.ico
Well, I had a few favicons lying around so I copied one to the above location so I have no errors in error_log now...
Pokey, pokey, pokey...Aha! Table 'phpbb.phpbb_config' doesn't exist - there are no tables in the phpbb database. LOL that can't be right.
OK I deleted the phpbb SQL database with phpMyAdmin (I don't know what I'm doing but I love breaking things). I uninstalled phpBB with the Dashboard and reinstalled. A phpbb SQL database was added but it contains no tables...is that right
