Hi HelterSkelter,

I have run the install/update_to_latest.php and without any error. The phpbb_security was already set to 666 during the first installation of IM 1.4. This is what a user get when he trys to update the setting.

do you have any additional mods added to your site?

I had MOD Hide ,Advanced Hide Post for Integramod 1.4.0 prior to the upload of premodded_files. The following 3 fields are not input text box at all <img>

Click on the fieldnames below to complete them:
The Field "Security Answer" is required
The Field "Security Question" is required
The Field "Rules" is required


I also encounter the following error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: get_moderators_user_id_of_forum() in /home/public_html/viewtopic.php on line 1255

if you used the premod files chances are you already overwrote some of the file edits for those additional hacks. You can dl this file
http://integramod.com/forum/dload.php?a ... file_id=95

if your current forum structure is webroot/forum/ then rename forum to forum1, do the same for whatever folder it is in. Then make a new folder with the original forum name and upload the files that you just dl'd from the link i gave you.
Basicly, your uploading a new forum to the original location. Go to your original forum and dl
forum root/config.php
forum root/includes/def_* -all of these
forum root/album_mod/upload -if you have any pics in your album
forum root/images/avatars
forum root/images/templates/ any additional installed templates
forum root/pafiledb/uploads -if you have any files in your forum dl section
forum root/pafiledb/images/screenshots -if you have any screenshots for any files in your forum dl section
if you have any attachments, dl the folder where they are located

now upload them to your new forum location

you should now have a duplicate of your original forum. Set all your chmods correctly.
go to http://www.your url/install/update to latest.php
you should now be updated to phpbb 2.0.21

Thanks for your help, I guess my files are mixed up between old and new after being hacked. I will try it.
