Hi, I'm a newbie at installing post nuke so don't laugh. I don't have a problem with installing phpbb.. so I thought I'd attempt it. Well.. something went wrong..

because when I go to www.mywebsite.com/install nothing is there... I know I'm supposed to edit config.php to find my mySQL right? or is this different?

TIA :D

Uhhh.

...../install.php

It's there. Just checked.

And be careful about leaving a live link to an install....

Hmmm... the theme that I got from my another site that I own didn't work. :( I now have this....



how do I reset it to go back to the lite version?

*edited to remove site addy*

I changed the name of the lite version to the name of the other theme I had. So obviously that theme I had won't work. :( I guess I'll have to find something basic in the themes then.

Hmmm.. sorry if I am being a pest.

But.. now I've added PNphpBB to the works but I can't seem to get the program to install. When I go to where the file is. I get this error...

You can't access this file directly...

any ideas?

This is totally a LEARNING experience.

TIA for any and all help. :D

It's a module, you install it from the Modules module in the Admin control panel under "System".

I tried looking in the modules in Admin and it's not listed there. :( Is that because it's not installed yet? Is there a tutorial on how to do this? I tried looking lastnight but couldn't find anything. :(

Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

TIA

Ah, ok.. I figured it out that I needed to regenerate the list.. now it shows up. But, when I clicked initialize the browser went blank and nothing happened. :( I'll keep playing...

To install and use PNphpBB2, you:

• 
  
• 1. Upload the PNphpBB directory to the modules (NOT Modules) directory
  
• 2. Make sure compression is off (Admin -> Settings)
  
• 3. Change the permissions on the directories ./modules/PNphpBB2/files, ./modules/PNphpBB2/images/upload, ./modules/PNphpBB2/templates/PNTheme/styles, and ./modules/PNphpBB2/templates/PNTheme/cellpics to be writable by your web server.
  
• 4. Go to Admin -> Modules and click Regenerate to see a current list of Modules available; PNphpBB should now be there (but not initialized).
  
• 5. Click to Initialize.
  
• 6. Click to Activate.
  
• 7. Remove the Install directory from PNphpBB (the forum will not function while it is there - I believe you get a warning telling you this if you try to skip this step).
  
• 8. Now the mundane stuff: putting a link in your menu, making theme changes, etc. These are pretty well covered in the docs that come with PNphpBB2
  

Don't forget the security patches....

hmmm.. I made sure the compression is off.. changed the permissions.. checked to see if it's in the modules file.. and it is... it shows on the list but when I click on Initialize it's still blank.

but when I changed the permissions I didn't have the images/upload file. *dunno*

Thankyou soooo much for helping me. :D I really appreciate it. :)

Could it be that all the files didn't get copied while using the ftp program?

Blank pages can be related to a large number of things and there isn't a quick or easy answer. But there is a blank page thread that talks about how to approach the problem, what some of the common issues are and how to narrow it down.
