Description and Message
I've been trying to install on this portal on my forum but I think I may have "damaged" my directory structure by putting some directories in my root when uploading portal software that shouldn't be there and thereby causing installation problem. I'm only running a Phpbb3 forum with a small landing page right now.

My Current root structure is this:

.hcc.thumbs
_db_backups
adm
cgi
dbboon
forum
includes
install_portal
language
portal
portals <-- added by me where at first I loaded full software too, probably need to delete
stats
styles

My question arises because of the install.xml file and the path to some of the files it references. for instance a file is copied from the root folder in the board3 package to /adm/(etc..).

For instance, the only portal.php I had was in my site root. So this leads me to believe the path is from the site root down.

Also I can't seem to run the last install step. I'm new at this and I have several install files (I'm assuming it's the forum install) but I can't get them to load in IE or fire fox.

thanks for your patients, and help.

The copy and edit paths are set to the paths of your forum root, i.e. if you forum is inside the forum-folder, you need to copy all the files inside the forum folder.
