Well, what can I do about that? I've updated to the latest version? Is there not a simple way of doing this? It seemed simple but has turned into a total nightmare.

http://www.rememberthebalrog.org is the forum. I copied the files as instructed. The portal files were copied from portal/root to the places I was told to copy them. I appear to be missing a file. The forum is working, the portal is not.

Apparently I'm missing this file: auth.php.

Can you point me to where I can obtain it?

There's no such file in root/includes/acp/auth.php.

In root/includes there's only two folders, acp and trim_message.

In the acp folder there's only a folder called info. In that, there's only acp_portal.php.

I'm missing a file, it seems.

It's not in the original .zip file, either.

Which it is, but I'm STILL getting that error, which is why I'm here pleading for help.

Please tell me what the correct path is, then.

It told me to copy portal/root/umil

to umil.

Where should that folder have gone?

The founder gave me his login details, so I'm there as him now. I've got this error, after installing it AGAIN: [phpBB Debug] PHP Warning: in file [ROOT]/umil/umil.php on line 1579: include(../includes/acp/auth.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory [phpBB Debug] P...

Thank you, Marc, I've located them and followed them through. The forum is working, the portal is not and it wants me to be a founder. What have I done wrong, please? Error messages: ACP/Permissions: Cannot find module ./../includes/acp/acp_permissions.php BACKTRACE FILE: (not given by php) LINE: (n...

Okay, went through it a final time and it wants me to be a board founder to run the install.php. What now? The correct instructions were on the install.xml file. Here's the error code: Cannot find module ./../includes/acp/acp_permissions.php BACKTRACE FILE: (not given by php) LINE: (not given by php...

Gentlemen, the instructions are not clear. I've tried reinstalling the updated version only to lose the forum again. These instructions are clear to YOU because you're the ones who built it. As a n00b, they don't make much sense and the whole thing is confusing. I don't mind if you think I'm an idio...

Thank you, Kirk, I've got the forum back up but the portal isn't working. It's not resolved yet. When I'm in the ACP and click the .MODS link, this is the error message: [phpBB Debug] PHP Warning: in file [ROOT]/includes/acp/acp_portal.php on line 28: include(./../portal/includes/functions.php) [fun...

This is how I fixed it: I copied the root/languages/en/mods folder to the main public HTML languages/en folder. It's working now. Thanks anyway.

I'm using CPanel, not FTP, so which ones have I missed? I thought I'd checked them all. These are the steps I took: I renamed the original portal file. I uploaded the portal .zip file and unarchived it in situ, then renamed the file to "portal." I then followed the instructions for each fi...

I've just updated an old installation from 1.6.0 to 2.0 at http://www.rememberthebalrog.org and this is the result: [phpBB Debug] PHP Warning: in file [ROOT]/portal.php on line 21: include(./portal/includes/constants.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory [phpBB De...
