[Xitami] Problem with refresh with php and phpbb

[Tom Ringate]

Alejandro,

Success, it does solve the problem on the newer release of XITAMI.  I also
discovered that release 2.4d9 does not have this problem, so it is something
that changed when they came out with release 2.5b5.

The Apache2 server also works just fine, but I did see some code in the
PHPbb modules that looks like they are doing something a little like what
you sent to me if the server is Apache2.

Not being a programmer, I did as you said, and placed it in about five of
the modules I could identify easily as generating some of the pages I am
having a problem with.  It immediatly fixed those pages, however there are
still several pages where the problem still exists.

Rather than just placing this into every module, I decided to place a
request for help on the PHPbb support forum to see if someone there knows a
more eligent way to do this.

I am a little afraid to just put it in all the modules, because I suspect
some modules call other modules, and then I should get the error you
mentioned about the header already being written.

I'll keep my fingers crossed that someone gives me some direction on which
modules to edit.  But for now, the main page is now refreshing, so 70% of
the problem is solved since that was the most noticable failure.

Tom R.
