It seems that you have copied all files to a wrong location. Copy all files, included in the directory "root" of the portal package, into your forum root directory - keeping the directory structure.
Your forum root directrory is: http://www.venezuelafm2.net/forum/
The link to the portal should look like this afterwards: http://www.venezuelafm2.net/forum/portal.php

After the installation of Forum/Mods/Portal you just see a blank page.

This error is usually caused by bad edits of a php-file.

Open the file and go the very beginning (line 1).

The file must start with


Code: Select all
<?php
and nothing else, especially no blank space or a blank line.

The very end of the file (last line) must be


Code: Select all
?>
and nothing behind, especially no blank space or a blank line.

If you find blank space(s) and/or a blank line(s) there, just delete them.

Now save the file und upload it.

After that go and clear the phpBB3-cache.

Now the file should be displayed properly.
which file??

I installed it in the root like this:


forum
......adm
.......cache
.......chat
.......etc
.......etc
.......portal
.......style
so on and so forth.. and it looks like this: mywebpage.com/forum/portal

should I do?:

forum
portal ??? If I do this, then it will be: mywebpage.com/portal

what am I missing??? :o :?: :?:
