Hi,
I'm a newbie to phpNUKE, so I am having a few problems....
I was able to install nuke, and configure most of it.
The problem I am having is that my forums show up blank eventhough they are categories in it.
Any help would certainly be appreciaetd...
Here's the link

umm..it looks like you are using the Splatt forums that came with Nuke.
Did you install the PHPBB Ported Forums?
If you did, where are they?

I did try to install the PHPBB forums...
I followed the instructions, but all I got after Clicked on
'Install new forum database' was a bunch of PHP errors...
I basically had to reinstall nuke 6.0 from scratch....
Now I cant even get the darn splat froum to work.....
I'm having quite a hard time

[rockman]

Reinstalling PHPBB Port...
Hopefully it will work this time....

OK did you CHMOD 777 the Forums directory After you uploaded the files and before you ran the install script so that the config.php file could be written?

Doesn't look like the config file got created.

To save you all some headache. Please read the Readme in the port package.

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?)
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.


Upgrading a Nuke 5.5 or Nuke 5.6 install that has a bbtonuke 2.0.4 Forum already installed:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) In case you missed it before, make sure you have a compete backup of all
the files in your website directory and your database!
2) Copy the files from the nuke 6.0 release archive into your website directory.
3) Copy the files from the bbtonuke 2.0.6 release into your website directory.
-> Make sure you delete the config.php in the Forums directory, that way it will
trigger the menu allowing you to upgrade.
Several regular nuke files will be overwriten, so if you have made custom
changes, you need to migrate those manually.
4) If you have nuke 5.5 & a bbtonuke forum, you will need to run "bbupgrade55-56.php"
from this directory first. Just call it from your web browser. If there is any
errors in this step, you'll have to fix them beofre moving on.
5) If you have Nuke 5.6 & a bbtonuke forum, you need to only run "bbupgrade56-60.php"
6) Make sure Nuke 6.0 is working correctly and there are no nuke errors.
7) Click on the forum link.
8) Fill in the blanks and select "Upgrade Forum Database from 2.0.4 to 2.0.6".
9) Click on "Save Changes" and the system should take care of the rest and drop you
of in the forum once the upgrade is completed.
10) If you did get an error and wish to report it, please provide as much detail as possible.
