Hi I'm having some trouble getting the phpBB port to work.

I uploaded the files
Clicked on the forums link hoping to see the install new forum database message, but instead I got:

The requested URL /community/modules/Forums/admin/modules.php was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Help!

:cry:

well, its exactly what it said. it cant find that specific file. make sure you uploaded everything to the correct place. and check that directory to see if its there.

it may involve an installation error, as im not sure if the first half of the link needs to be there or not.

may i have a link to your site?

Thank you for replying. I'm not sure what happened, now it is working just fine. I went back in the morning and it just worked. I'm wondering if it takes the server/database awhile to process things.

Thank you
Lisa B

Code:

Warning: Failed opening 'modules/Forums/functions.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /.../admin/modules/forums.php on line 40

Warning: Failed opening 'modules/Forums/class.overlib.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /.../admin/modules/forums.php on line 41

I used to host the site directly from my own pc, but I got attacked by someone trying to screw with my site and they ended up ruining a a term project for school.

So I am attempting to start with a clean slate at www.coolfreepages.com...I had the PHP-NUKE working by itself, but ran into problems when I tried to get the port to work....I love phpbb, and it worked fine before,...I hope I made a simple mistake that's easily identified and fixed,

Thanks

Start the process over.
Delete the config.php file in
modules/Forums/
if it was created.
Re-upload the install.php file to the
modules/Forums/
MAKE SURE you CHMOD your
modules/Forums/
Folder 777 FIRST before starting the install process.

Quote:

Installing bbtonuke 2.0.6 from scratch:
---------------------------------------
1. Make sure you have a working Nuke 6 install and you have created a
regular user and the admin user. This version has been specially designed
to work with Nuke 6.0 and should not be used on an older version of Nuke.
2. In case you missed it before, make sure you have a compete backup
of all the files in your website directory and your database!
3. Delete all files in modules/Forums/* (have you read the warning above?)CHMOD the Forums folder 777.
4. Copy all files from the bbtonuke release archive across to your website.
The directory structure was left in place in the release archive, so it
should be obvious where everything goes. Several regular nuke files will
be overwriten, so if you have made custom changes, you need to migrate those
manually. You'll have to decide which of the Nuke files you'll want to
overwrite, but please be warned that the mods in the files provided are
needed to make the forum work correctly.
5. Log into your wbesite with both your admin and regular user account.
6. Click on the forum link.
7. Fill in the blanks and select "Install new Forum Database".
8. Click on "Save Changes" and the system should take care of the rest and drop
you of in the forum once the install is completed.
9. If you did get an error and wish to report it, please provide as much detail as possible.

Post Install:
-------------
1) Ensure that the following files have been deleted:
/modules/Forums/install.php
/upgrade/*
Leaving these on a live site is a big security risk as someone could
call them later and make a bit of a mess for you!
2) Log into the Forum admin, select Styles admin -> "Add" and add any of
the styles you wish to have on your site.
