Your Portal Version: 1.0.0RC3
Your phpBB Type: Standard phpBB3
MODs installed: No
Your knowledge: Basic Knowledge
Boardlink: http://www.battlecows.com
What have you done before the problem was there?
What have you already tryed to solve the problem?
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?

It seems like you are missing some edits. Make sure you edit .htaccess as instructed by install.xml.
Also it seems like you forgot to edit your style. As it seems to be based on subsilver2 you should follow the subsilver2 instructions.

This should be right.
Code: Select all

#RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization},L]

<Files "common.php">

If it doesn't work that way, contact your hoster and ask if they can help you with setting the homepage to portal.php.

is there any other way? My host is slow at getting back with me. When I ran a vbulletin board, I did something like rename the index.php to old_index.html or something. Its been been a long time. I could just rename portal.php to index.php but then I would have to change links to all the forum index files.

Renaming the index file would result in a 404 error, so I wouldn't do that.

As I already said, if editing the .htaccess file does not work do the following:
