So yea, I was talking to Pande a while ago but we all know where that went cuz he doesn't have internet anymore for a while.

I am just looking for a simple php-nuke frontpage, phpbb forums, and a gallery. Something simple and easy to update.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Also, if anyone knows how to convert a vB database into something that phpbb can use let me know.

Don't use phpnuke, it's really bad code and full of security holes.

What you want (for free) is Joomla with Fireboard.

Here's a beta script to convert a vB database to Fireboard:

So, i got the basic unzipped joomla pack on my host. I went into the installation and this is the error i get:

I asked my host to set the session as writable. Is this correct?

in your ftp client you need to go to /var/php_sessions and chmod 777 that dir. So wherever joomla is installed it(ex. /home/theprez/public_html/var/php_sessions). Usually you just right click on the dir and find change permissions or chmod and change it to 777. That will fix the unwritable one. The 2 php errors you have is something the host needs to change in php.ini but you don't need them to change it cause it's not going to break joomla with those settings in php.ini. You just need to do the chmod and you will be set.

i had no public_html/var/php_sessions so i created those two folders. The php_sessions was set to 755 and i changed it to 777. This correct? Im assuming i prob need some more files in there though.

The folder you uploaded the files into usually needs to be set to 777 as well as the config file itself Prez.

Ok, I had to add ANOTHER two folders but finally got the shit to be writable. I went into the admin panel and started setting shit up. I deleted the "installation" folder like it said once i got into admin. Now when i try to preview the site i get nothing.
