Your Portal Version: 1.0.3
Your phpBB Type: Standard phpBB3
MODs installed: No
Your knowledge: Basic Knowledge

What have you done before the problem was there?
Nothing

What have you already tryed to solve the problem?
Followed the install.xml

Description and Message
Been trying to figure out when I got to my site URL it doesn't redirect to portal.php. The phpBB forum is installed in the root directory as with the portal. My .htaccess file is what is shown below.

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>
When I go to my site it still redirects to the forum's index.php file. What have I missed?[/i]

Link to your forum?
Is it a windows IIS server or an Apache?

Do you have an index.html file at your root? if not, get one and add the url to your portal

Code: Select all

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> 
<html> 

<head> 

<META HTTP-EQUIV=REFRESH CONTENT="0; URL=http://www.yoursite.com/forum/portal.php"> 
</head> 

</html>
replace "yoursite.com" in the url with the name of yours
replace "forum" with whatever you named the folder with your PHPBB3 files in
