A blank page usually indicates an error - enable error reporting and check your error logs

Evaders99 how do you turn error reporting on?

I also have the same problem now.
I updated the forum to phpBB 2.0.21. All was fine after that.

But I also thought I must update BBtoNuke 2.0.7 by using

Quote:

PHP-Nuke: BBtoNuke 2.0.8

Changes:
Fixed several vulnerabilities in admin pages
Fixed sid checking code in admin/pagestart.php
Fixed injection vulnerabilities possible with the img bbcode tag
Limited allowed images in img bbcode tag to jpg, jpeg, gif and png
Fixed redirect problems - 2.0.7a
Fixed sql injection vulnerability in search - 2.0.7a
To view the files that need to be replaced to upgrade from BBtoNuke 2.0.7 to 2.0.8 or to make the changes manually go here, the only two files you won't be able to manually edit are pagestart.php and bbcode.php, the first one underwent changes only valid on PHP-Nuke and the second one was re-ported.
Download here.

After installing this file the http://site.com/modules/Forums/admin/index.php is blank.

What can I do to fix it? Help needed please. Crying or Very sad

ok, so I searched more on these forums and saw:

and after add:
Code:
define('FORUM_ADMIN', true);

The above is correct in the pagestart.php

I then checked out seeing the topic in a post:

For those having trouble:
Code:

in modules/Forums/config.php

DELETE OR COMMENT OUT

@include("../../mainfile.php");

I did hash out this, now I got the following errors:

You say you upgraded to phpbb2.0.21. How did you do that? Did you upgrade to bbtonuke2.0.21 or phpbb2.0.21. The two are different. If you upgraded using the phpbb standalone version, then you have really messed up your Forums.

If you have upgraded using the wrong files, Then your best bet is to re-install the includes/, modules/Forums/ , modules/Private_Messages/, modules/Members_List/ directories from a fresh download of PHP-Nuke (sdame version as the one you already have) and then upgrade using bbtonuke upgrades. These must be done sequentially from the version you start with to the version you want to end up with. bbtonuke upgrades can be found at http://www.nukeresources.com. Search for bbtonuke in their downloads.

Before you start, BACK EVERYTHING UP FIRST.

Thanks for the reply.

Ok, I did an incremental update from bbtonuke2.0.19 to 2.0.20 to 2.0.21.

And now I realised what I have done.

After seeing the PHP-Nuke BBtoNuke 2.0.7 at the bottom of the site I went and installed BBtoNuke 2.0.8. That means I installed OLD version files on the site.

The forum is up, but there are some things screwed.

Thanks for the advice. That means I'll have to do a re-install of 2.0.21.

Dang I'm an idiot. Rolling Eyes

yay, it's fixed.

Thanks arnolkrg, your advice helped me.

I re-installed bbtonuke2.0.20 and patched again.

All working 100% Very Happy
