Portal Main Page

[cyberken]

Hi great portal

I was running phpBB3 Portal and decided that this one was better

I have went through and uploaded/edited all the files but when I navigate to the main page it just shows up the forums.

in order to view the portal I have to manually type portal.php after the main address. My htaccess file does state that the portal should be first and no idea why it isnt doing it

Any suggestions?

[Ice]

Make sure theres a . before htaccess. If there is, your host may not allow the use of .htaccess files. I can't think of a workaround right now but I'll see what I can come up with.

Hi Ice

It is listed as .htaccess

The old phpBB portal worked fine maybe i messed up something when I switched over - basically I uploaded the files for this one and did the edits - i never undid the edits for the old portal tho - could that be it?

[Ice]

Hmm could be, check the .htaccess again. It should say exactly:

Code: Select all

DirectoryIndex portal.php index.php index.html index.htm

<Files "config.php">
Order Allow,Deny
Deny from All
</Files>

<Files "common.php">
Order Allow,Deny
Deny from All
</Files>

Ice you are a star that worked.

My htaccess had the directory index at the bottom (that's what it said in install.php) I moved it to the top and works great - many thanks

Have you checked that /styles/prosilver/template/portal/portal_body.html is in place?

[gus]

yup its there...
seems all the settings are working as far as the control panel and everything...but...no portal.
double checked the files and even uninstalled and reinstalled...still...nada....doh!

Hi gus,

can you provide a link to your forum?

now i look at again and it is gone....wow either i was sening things or it was deleted somehow....but NO it IS missing at the moment

thnx again

Hm, I can reproduce your error message when I delete portal_body.html ...

At least you should reach

http://minutemancc.us/phpBB3/styles/pro ... index.html what normally shows a blank page, in your case you'll get a 404 ("File not found").

Sorry, but once again I ask you

Does portal_body.html exist in the folder /styles/prosilver/template/portal/????

And was it uploaded in ASCII-Mode?

[Edit]

Oops, too late ...

[/Edit]

[gus]

ya thats what i said...lol


do you have an example or what it should look like?


ok update


finding that tags were not closed in alot of files...fixing all errors now post back in a sec

[gus]

opend all the files in the portal directory in dream weaver and closed and saved them....
edited nothing but the setting in dreamweaver saw tags open in most of the files in witch it closed them....so i saved and now it seems to work i see the portal and more....
still testing and i hope if anyone else sees an issue like this...to know that this is one way to fix...

still some issues with the poll on front page,I put back the old file with bad tags...
"wow sounds like driving without registration here in calif...lol"
and it looks like its working now..

it almost looks like the files got corupted in transfer or somthing but so far so good
more updates to come if more issues...thnx againg for pointing me in the right direction

[gus]

seems like all is working now but i still got some "extra text" in the poll...after you make a choice it has code in the text area
\
any ideas?
