Help enabling nickname registration

[MarisaG]

I'm trying to set up wesnoth to use a phpbb3 forum's mysql data and I have the [user_handler] section defined in my config and no errors appear when starting wesnothd. However when I try and do "/register mypassword my@email" I get a message "this server does not allow username registration". What do I need to do to get it going?

I also get the "this server does not allow username registration" message when I try using any of the commands related to usernames, such as info etc.. And even though I have a registered account on the phpbb3 database it never asks for my password when logging into wesnoth...

I see that I need to set

Code: Select all

scons prefix=/home/wesnothowner/wesnoth  default_targets=wesnothd forum_user_handler=true

to enable user handler, but when I try and run that I get:

Code: Select all

OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory:
  File "/home/wesnothowner/wesnoth-1.14.12/SConstruct", line 424:
    mysql_config = check_output(["mysql_config", "--libs", "--cflags"]).decode("utf-8").replace("\n", " ").replace("-DNDEBUG", "")

Where do I put that?

That would seem to indicate that you don't have the mysql/mariadb dependencies installed.

I had plain mysql installed, and installed mariadb but I get the same thing...

[Pentarctagon]

Do you have the -dev package as well?

Ah, that was it. Thanks!
