First thing I would do is open index.php in the root of your forum
Find

Code Select Expand


<?php

Add after

Code Select Expand


ini_set("display_errors",1);

Then save and upload it.
That should at least tell you want error is going on.

If not you can also grab your last file backup found in packages/backups

ummm, I have no clue how to do the first one. and no clue what to do with the second one 

[dehsnowman]

So i have my backup, what do i do with it?

ummm, I have no clue how to do the first one.

Open the file index.php with an editor, such as Notepad++ and make the suggested change. So, in the file, search for

Code Select Expand


<?php


and directory below that, add this

Code Select Expand


ini_set("display_errors",1);


and post back the results here.

How do I modify files?

and no clue what to do with the second one 

Extract the package and overwrite your current files with the ones from the package.

Oke well I have  a feeling if I even attempt the first one I will mess it up beyond belief.  What file am i replacing? I already have the backup on my desktop ready to rename and replace.
(sorry for being a noob, i just want to be 100% sure i am doing it right before i do it)

In the root folder of your smf installation (it's the same folder the file SSI.php is in), open the file index.php with an editor. The first lines look like this:

Code Select Expand


<?php
/**********************************************************************************
* index.php                                                                       *
***********************************************************************************


Now, replace that part with this

Code Select Expand


<?php
ini_set("display_errors",1);
/**********************************************************************************
* index.php                                                                       *
***********************************************************************************


Now, go to your forum url. There should be errors visible now. Copy these errors and post them back here.

Hi,

Could you attach the file index.php please? It's in your forum root, the same directory where the file SSI.php is in.
