Ok, this is not a problem on these boards... I just set up my own and am having a slight problem. I posted on the phpBB site a while ago, but no one has responded so I guess they can't help, so I figured you guys have been dealing with this crap for a while and maybe could.
Here's the problem(s):
Whenever someone tries to log in, including me, they get a message saying connection was refused from <i>domain</i>.webhop.org:8080
Now here's the thing, it shouldn't be webhop.org:8080, because the webhop would automatically hop itself to that port. I tried setting my port in the config to just 80, but that broke everything else.
The other problem, which may or may not be related, is that position is lost on refresh. For intsance if I'm on the page for one board and I hit refresh I go back to the main index. I can see that the url in my board does not get updated from index.php to index.php?<i>stuff</i>
But I have no idea why... :(

Hrm... but I can still login, it just makes you have to go back and refresh rather than taking you into the forum automatically.
I'll try it though later.
Also I asked on their forums, which are currently down in an ironic twist, well before bringing my question here. Got one answer so far and it didn't help... :(

WinXP, and mySQL.
You think that would also cause the problem with it not putting the forum position in the url?

Huh? domain index? Plus it _is_ in a folder...
Maybe I gave you the wrong idea. My phpBB2 is behaving differently than this one. On this one if you are in the General Discussion board and refresh, you stay in General Discussion and it refreshes that page. On mine if I'm in General Discussion and I refresh it goes back to the Forum Index.
If you notice in the url after the script there's a question mark.
This:

Would look like this if it were my forum:
http://www.torilmud.org/phpBB2/posting.php
Well, actually it still just shows index.php when replying, rather than posting.php. That in itself seems wrong! :(
I don't know what you mean by using it as a domain index...

You'll get an error about email when you create your account, just ignore it.
Also the loginc thing, I haven't gotten around to trying the fix you suggested yet. I couldn't get the files last night since they had just switched over to a new version which hadn't made it to any of the mirrors yet. :(

I'd bet its a duplicate cookie name problem or a cookie configuration issue. I've seen this before and fixed it actually. Change your cookie name to something a bit more 'unique' rather than the default.
Under general board settings --> Cookie settings
domain should be your FQDN, (www.mydomain.com)
Make your name something unique like 'mydomainhpbb2mysql'
cookie path should be the url 'directory'. i.e. if it was mysite.com/forum
then your cookie path would be /forum.
Log out, clear cookies and log back in, see what happens.
