I have a problem, the error message:

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/layangma/public_html/forums/Sources/EzPortal.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/php52/pear') in /home/layangma/public_html/forums/index.php on line 179

I installed EZportal0.4.0.zip [nofollow] into my SMF forums.  Then realised I had double portals on each functions, example double shoutbox and all.
So I began to delete each one and uninstalled the latest Ezportal. Then the fatal error message appeared!!
Please help!

If I should choose to remove the forum from the server and re-install the SMF, which are the files I should choose to retain the database?

Regards and thanks.

Hi layaman, welcome to SMF :)

To get your forum up and running again, upload all files from the large upgradepackage to your forumlocation and overwrite the old files.

This will uninstall any mod you have installed (inlcuding EZ Portal).

Hi Xenovasis,

Thanks for the prompt reply :)
I am a complete noob to this and already seems a miracle I got this forum running until I screwed it up.
Anyway I am running the V 1.1.11 so which will be the "large upgrade package" ? Please point me to the right url to download the package so I won't screw up again.

Thanks in advance.

ermmm...by overwriting, will the database be retained? (I hope so...)

xenovanis

Don't worry, you'll be fine  ;)

Click here to download the large upgradepackage. Extract it to your harddrive and upload all files to your forum location with an ftp-client.

This will revert all files back to 'default', removing code from any mod installed. It's basicly a fresh start with fresh files, but it will not affect your database or databasesettings. So, don't worry about loosing posts and members and stuff.

Thanks a million, I will try it now :)

Hey It worked!!!! Many thanks!

It has a warning in the front page:  MAJOR SECURITY RISK:
You have not removed upgrade.php!

Do I just remove the upgrade.php file?

xenovanis

Yes, remove that and all *.sql files.

Glad it's solved  :)
