Yes - that gave me the clue - but it wouldn't be a great experience for average users trying out the forum software. I'm not exactly a newbie. I've used SMF on my forum since December 2005, and have been feeling very restless after never quite warming to 2.0 and the glacial pace of development since 1.1. Elkarte seems like a good fork so far and fixes most of my dissasatisfaction with SMF.

Yes, the values in Settings.php were blank before I edited them. Really impressed with Elkarte so far. My main challenge will be getting a usable theme which is not too dissimilar to the old forum while working well on mobile - the default theme is good but quite far from the old forum stylistically (which was edited Curve blended with some elements from previous Aero79 theme).

Had some ongoing issues with authentication with apc turned on - for example I would log on ok to the forum then fail to authenticate as an admin for example. I've turned apc off for this vhost via .htaccess: php_flag apc.cache_by_default Off and now everything seems fine. Would eventually like to turn it on for production go-live though. I already looked at that theme, yes a good start indeed, but I acctually prefer the new default theme, so considering a more radical overhaul of the forum look.

I don't recall reports about authentication problems, not to say that there may not be another APC issue. Do note that by default you need to enter your password to enter the admin panel. You can disable this in admin->security and moderation -> general ... and check Disable administration security and Disable moderation security. The second password prompt is there to improve session security. What version of PHP are you using?

I'm out of ideas for the moment. I have not been able to reproduce login errors on my apc test environment but its a 12.04 base so saying that works is comparing apples and oranges to your 10.04 base. Now I use 14.04 and don't use apc at all, although I may play with apcu at some point. Maybe someone else has some ideas that can be tried.
