Description and Message
I installed phpbb3 on my root folder, battlecows.com leads to my phpbb3. I installed the portal. But when I type my webpage it goes to index.php instead of portal.php? How do I fix this? Also, on the donation blocks, how do I set it to US currency instead of Euros for the default?

I could just rename portal.php to index.php but then I would have to change links to all the forum index files.

Create an index.htm/html/php with an instant redirect to portal.php

[Romano]

Thnak you, but i have already an index.php, to the forum, how do i do that?
