Hey Mike,

I'd start with grabbing the security fields from your current includes/phpbb_security.php

Code: Select all

    function phpBBSecurity_AdminConfigName()         {         return 'admins_allowed';         }             function phpBBSecurity_ModConfigName()         {         return 'mods_allowed';         }             function phpBBSecurity_UseSpecial()         {         return 'block_unwanted';         }

admins_allowed, mods_allowed, and block_unwanted should be different in your file. It's whatever you picked for the security fields on install.

Then copy that code into a fresh includes/phpbb_security.php and upload it to your server.

Ok,

I did the above. Then it came back with a couple more errors.. I went in and uploaded new files.. functions_profile.php, def_userfields.php, and der_userfuncs.php...


I scanned these files before upload to see if there were any site specific info and didn't see anything..

Now all I get is a blank screen when you go to site.. says done loading but nothing there.

If I try to open the index.php file from vdeck I get a 404 error..

Any thoughts....

Thanks,

Try putting...

ini_set('display_errors', true);

...in your config.php file and see if any errors are displayed.
