So I've installed now what?

[john1744]

I'm not noticing that it did anything... I have the admincp options, but see nothing on the forum main page... I dont know if I should do something or what.

Nothing will appear on the forum home page. It is a portal. If you have your forums in /forum/ and your cmps_index.php in your root, rename cmps_index.php to index.php and see what happens.

Still not noticing anything... Weird, I put the cmps_Index file in my bare server root, also in my /public_html area.

I'm still just getting my regular old forums when I go to them. Is there a new url I should go to?

The CMPS does not do anything to your forums. The CMPS is located wherever you uploaded your cmps_index.php file.

[john1744]

Ok, when I do that I get this error: Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home2/john1744/public_html/index.php on line 27

And line 27 is: $phrasegroups = array();

Sounds like you've modified your forum path incorrectly. Make sure the chdir line above looks like this:

chdir('/home/yoursite/public_html/forum');

It works!

Thank both of you very much!

I'm having a similar problem. I did what you told the other guy to do and everything works, however when you just type in my site address, http://www.playgamezone.com my old phpBB site shows up. You have to actually add /index.php What do I need to do to get rid of that? I can't get rid of my old forums just yet cause I am working out issues with my import with vBulletin Support.

Sounds like you either have some type of redirect set up to point to your old phpBB file, or you have another index file (index.html, index.htm, etc) in your root directory that is taking priority over your index.php file.

Why not rename the phpbb index.php file something like index1.php and then the cmps file can be index.php ?

I did that already. I cleared cookies and stuff thinking it was cached but I don't see a difference. What did you see when you clicked the link?
