Package: phpbb2-conf-mysql
Version: 2.0.18-2
Severity: normal
Having mastered the installation of phpbb2 (#369914) I got a page
recommending the installation of the phpbb2-conf-mysql package.
This results in a mess if the mysqld should run on localhost, too
(typical setup for a small size and also suggested by the installer) but
is not installed yet.
phpbb2-conf-mysql cannot depend on a mysql-server package as the server
might be located elsewere. Therefore the installation script asks for
the credentials and later fails complaining about a missing mysql-server
package and leaves the system not fully configured.
Now installing an server also resumes the phpbb2-conf-mysql
configuration although I was not able to configure mysqld yet, i.e. set
a mysql root password. phpbb2-conf-mysql has to aborted again for that.
A beatiful solution was to suspend the phpbb2-conf-mysql installation if
the "There is no mysqld on localhost yet" situation is encountered until
the mysqld is installed and fully configured. I don't know whether this
is possible with apt/dpkg.
A workaround was to enhance the message in
/usr/share/phpbb2/site/config.php (from the phpbb2 package):
"Install phpbb2-conf-mysql to have a database setup automatically, or
see <tt>/usr/share/doc/phpbb2/README.Debian</t> for information on how
to make one yourself."
by a warning like:
"If you plan to use a mysql server on localhost, make sure that you've
installed and configured an according package <b>before</b>
you install phpbb2-conf-mysql."
That would have saved some time for me.

The phpbb2 package has been removed from Debian testing, unstable and
experimental, so I am now closing the bugs that were still opened
against it.
For more information about this package's removal, read
http://bugs.debian.org/509620 . That bug might give the reasons why
this package was removed, and suggestions of possible replacements.
Don't hesitate to reply to this mail if you have any question.
Thank you for your contribution to Debian.
