This FAQ is work-in-progress, that's why it's still very short.
Q: I set up phpMyBitTorrent, registered a user and confirmed the registration. But when I try to log in, I just get thrown back to the login box, without an error message. WTF?
A: Surely phpMyBitTorrent can't set a cookie.
1. Make sure you've got cookies enabled in your browser.
2. Check the cookie path in Administration > Settings. If you've got phpMyBitTorrent installed in a sub-directory (e.g. /phpmybt), you've got to enter "/phpmybt" as a cookie path. Else it's just "/". If enterint the subdirectory doesn't work, you can also try setting it to just "/", and see if that works.
3. Make sure output buffering isn't limited in PHP on your server. To check whether it is, place phpinfo.php (attached to this thread) somewhere on the server and run it in a browser. Search for "output_buffering". If the value is something like "4096", set it to "On" in php.ini. NOTE: if you use free or cheap hosting service, you most probably can't change this setting.
Q: What's wrong with UDP trackers? I can't upload a Torrent that is registered to a tracker running on UDP.
A: Unfortunately, phpMyBitTorrent does not support UDP trackers, since the UDP protocol, even if saving bandwidth, is mostly impossible to scrape by a PHP script in a reasonable time, since it requires multitreading. However, there is a trick for this.
If you are running a UDP tracker, you can run an alternate HTTP tracker that supports only scraping. phpMyBitTorrent will recognize the tracker working with HTTP, but clients will connect to UDP tracker after failing connection to the HTTP one.
Q: Is there a way to automatically generate eXeem links for Torrents?
A: Sorry, there is not. eXeem is closed-source and closed-specifications. We don't have idea how eXeem generates links for Torrents.
Q: What's wrong with PHP 5?
A: phpMyBitTorrent has been designed to run only on PHP 4 (at least ver. 4.3). This choice was made because of the following:
- If you are using a hosting service, you probabily (90%) run PHP 4
- If you own a server, you can set up PHP 4 easily, even if you usually run 5
The problem is in XML processing. In order to make PHP 4 support XML documents, developers created the DOM XML extension. However, that DOM XML extension does not comply to the DOM standards developed by W3C. PHP 5, however, fully supports DOM standards, and has its own built-in XML extension. This one is not compatible with PHP 4's DOM XML.
This does not mean phpMyBitTorrent cannot run on PHP 5. In order to make phpMyBitTorrent run on 5, we need to create a new version of each file that uses XML features in order to make it run on PHP 5. There may be 2 versions of phpMyBitTorrent. However, it's quite impossible now that we're going to release the 1.0 version.
Your work would be appreciated here. 
Please help us in the development.
