Hi, I just wanted to let you all know that I now have a working forum with a portal! I followed the instructions on this thread to direct my page as my home page and everything works perfectly! I am clearly a newbie and don't know a thing about PHP but I did it.

Thank You!

Kim

Hi Kim,

May i ask (if you stil know) how you have done it? Must you do every change you read here?

thanks in advance, Danny

Danny, in all honesty it would be best if I didn't try to explain it. I would love to help but I'm a newbie at this. But I did follow the initial instructions from wolferey on this thread

Also, you don't need to replace the line Kevin posted, just change it.

Move portal.php to your main folder and rename it to index.php, open it up and find:
$phpbb_root_path = (defined('PHPBB_ROOT_PATH')) ? PHPBB_ROOT_PATH : './';
Change to (note: add forum/ to the end):
$phpbb_root_path = (defined('PHPBB_ROOT_PATH')) ? PHPBB_ROOT_PATH : './forum/';

. From there I had to sort of deduce the rest of the instructions.

I no what you mean, i am also a noobie with this all. I will try it when i convert my phpBB2 forum to phpBB3 in 2 weeks.

Thanks for your answer, Danny
