Hello, i'm a new member here and could really use some help in getting the new PHP installed and SMF 1.0.5.

My website is hxxp:www.nwowatcher.com [nonactive] . About 3 days ago, the Forums stopped working, but everything else is still running.

We work through the Lunar server, and have been on it for the past 2 years, and with the SMF for the past year. Anyway, long story short, i have been responsible for the billing at Nwowatcher for the past year, and was not the one keeping tabs on the SMF information. The person who installed the SMF has 'gone missing' for the past 4 months, and i recieved no notification that i would have to upgrade the PHP in order for our forums to continue running.. >:(

Lunar told me to download the newest version, as well as winzip from hxxp:www.downloads.com [nonactive], (which i have done) and i have access to the C-Panel for hxxp:nwowatcher.com [nonactive], but have no clue how to get this latest version installed, and finally get our forums working properly again..

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated as soon as possible..

Thanks in advance for any technical assistance that can get this problem taken care of..

Peace
Mike

Sorry if it sounds like i'm being short, i've just been dealing with this for the past 3 days, and talking to Lunar, who just told me today that the problem was in the SMF upgrade. Just a little frustrated and would like to get this taken care of somehow... :P  As i said, i was unaware that an upgrade was needed in order for my forums to stay active. I'm new to Simple Machines here, even though our site has been using the installation for the past year or so..

Thanks for the help! :)

Thanks Beemer, i've read and re-read that thread, and it's all Greek to me.. :(

I just need the simplest and easiest way that i can get these forums working again. I no longer have access to the Admin panel (as it's went down along with the forum) but can still access the C-Panel.

Someone please advise how, through the C-panel, i can get the forums back up.

I need some extra help here if possible, i know basically nothing about Simple Machines, other then that our site is configured to it..

THANX!
