How do I make portal page appear as my idex

[goingnova]

Thank you for trying to help me out. This is a newb question, but here goes:

If my web site url is: www.iamastupidnewb.com

and my forum url is: www.iamastupidnewb.com/forums

How can I make the portal page to my forums appear as my main page? That is, how can I get the portal page show when someone types www.iamastupidnewb.com ? :confused:

Just rename your cmps_index.php file to index.php. ;)

Brian, you da man! Thanks. :)

Ok, I did it, and I got an error:

Warning: chdir(): No such file or directory (errno 2) in /usr2/home/bashanything.com/htdocs/forums/index.php on line 19

So, I changed it back.

Also, how do I make my portal page (once we fix the above error), replace my main index.htm file. In another words, when people type in my domain name, they go directly to the Portal Page, and not the index.htm page. Thanks.

Ok, I think I know WHY the error is coming up, I just don't know how to fix it.

The forums are in www.mydomainname.com/forums and the CMPS was installed into www.mydomainname.com NOT into the /forums directory. How can I fix this? Which file do I need to edit?

You just need to edit your index.php file. If you have the file in your forums directory then you can just comment out the chdir line by adding // in front of it. If it's in your root directory then you'll need to change it to this:

chdir('/usr2/home/bashanything.com/htdocs/forums');

I can't find the chdir line in my index.php

I did a word search, chdir, and it is not coming up. Checking line by line now.

DOH! You mean edit my cmps_index.php file! I was looking in my main index.php!

:p

Changing now....
