I have lost my forum all together for some reason , I was doing a custon home page download then bang gone ....
Here is what I get now .....
Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/mbuck/public_html/Sources/CustomizableHomePage.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/mbuck/public_html/index.php on line 241
Can someone help me out , I have put over 20 hours into this and then bang gone ,, thanks for all your input and help . Thanks
I think I just may need to find out the log in page to get into my admin panel .... not that easy , at all .
If you tell us which version of SMF you're using, we can move this to the correct support board, for you.
You'll get the help you need, then. :)
Thank you very much ,, the version is the 2.0 . Thanks
OK. Moved.
Changed the topic title, too. :)
Thank you so much for your help, This forum means so much to me . I just hope I have not done something that cannot be fixed . I appreciate all your help . Thanks
At the very worst, all you'll need to do is replace index.php with the original file.
I'm up to my neck in someone else's hassles, though, at the moment.
I'll be back, as they say... :)
In the meantime, if you attach those two files to your next post, we can take a look at them.
Thats good news , Where about can I find them files ? Thanks I will do what ever you wish . Thanks I understand you must be very busy , sorry to add to your work load .
FTP into your site with something like FileZilla (http://filezilla-project.org/) and go through the subdirectories, and find the files I marked in red:
/home/mbuck/public_html/Sources/CustomizableHomePage.php
/home/mbuck/public_html/index.php
After you've found them, download them to your computer, locate where you've downloaded them, and upload/attach them to here.
public_html/Sources/CustomizableHomePage.php
public_html/index.php
You'll need to extract CustomizableHomepage.php from the mod package, then move that file into your ./Sources directory. The error basically says that it can't find the file, because it's not there.
Doh!
Missed that!
I sam so sorry , I am not familiar with this sort of stuff . I cannot even see my forum even form the start but when I try to hit the link to it ,, it pops up for 1 split second so I print screened it . I could show you what it says if that will make any differeance . I will try and follow what you have showed me but do not have the first clue how to do it , Thanks again . Appreciate everything .

Download the mod you installed (which appears to be Customizable Homepage), and extract the files from the package using a program like WinRar or 7-zip. Then, find the CustomizableHomepage.php file, and upload it to your forum's ./Sources directory.
Easy as cake.
The thing is I cannot even get near my forum ... so how do I get that into the sourse , I do have the mod on my computer already but where to put it ???? I am not that familiar with this ,, verry sorry folks to be a pain in the butt. :(
please take a look at How do I use FTP? / What is FTP? (http://docs.simplemachines.org/index.php?topic=480.0), you could also use the file manager provided to you by your host in the control panel for your server.
ok , I have the forum in front of me but when I go to log in , I go the page where it gives me the fatal error . What to do from here ?
logging into ftp to upload the missing file and logging into your forum are not the same thing.
I am signed into my forum now but when I get there ,,there is a home button now and never was before . This will not allow me to open my topics up and view the post ,, it looks like it is poining to the wrong thing or something . Wow ,,, this is hard or more confusing I guess . You folks have helped so much ,, thanks . I got the forum back thats a big step .
How do I get rid of this HOME button I think this is what the problem is . It will not allow me to go no place uless it take me to the home page , I have deleted the home page mod and still there .
