error "This board has no forums"

I was running a little website I had created with Frontpage, and I had phpbb forums.

I uploaded the 6.5 bundle, edited the config.php etc and ran the install from nukesql.php. It shows all the nuke_ stuff, as well as the phpbb_ stuff. When I go to my site, and just type in the domain it shows the old frontpage generated pages, and when I click on the forums link, it still has my old forums running.

I can view the nuke site, by adding index.php to the url, I can login etc... but when I go to the nuke forums I get this error:
" This board has no forums"

I imagine, I can delete the old pages, and find the fix so I dont have to type index.php (or someone here can tell me ;P ) but I have no idea what to do about the message board. It is like the old one is running, and there isnt a new one created... there certainly wasn't a merger of the two or the phpbb wasnt converted to nuke.

Any ideas?

Did you use a phpBB to phpNuke converter?

yes I did. when I got to the nukesql.php page it ran and said everything was fine. Since there is an existing page index.html I wasnt surprised that nuke doesnt show up when I type in the url. But I am more confised about the lack of forums/forums conversion!

Conversion must not have worked for some reason .. which script did you use exactly?
