I had a similar problem until I added a directory for the data files to point to. Although it does bring up my url, it is not completed with the XOOPS installation wizard.

I'm at Choose the default theme and when I click next, it takes me to a blank page.

What could be causing this to happen and how do I correct the problem?

I have one additional step to go.

Drupal user, former XOOPS User.

I ran all my sites under XOOPS (a looooonnng time ago).

It was an easier CMS to configure and manage. I especially like the fact I could run a banner campaign.

Unfortunately, that all went to the wolves when I upgraded to 2.4. This was the coming of the end.

The platform had so many bugs that I could no longer gain control of the site structure.

Then someone introduce me to Drupal and I have not looked back.

It's really sad, because Xoop still offerred features that is not seen in the Drupal platform (without modification).

I also liked XOOPS for it simplisticy nature and it small size.

Because Drupal is so vast, the site often went down, but a solution was found to solve this problem.

Anyway, the downfall of XOOPS was the change of the development team and the lack of proper coordination of services.

EGO got in the way and everyone was trying to get their piece of the pie. As a result, the members who supported this platform were left hopeless.

It's a wonder that you guys didn't go out of business.

You were so far ahead of everyone else and now you hardly mentioned anywhere.

Joomla is a fairly new CMS and I have more hopes for it than XOOPS, because it has a great development team. But it is years behind DRUPAL.

*scratching my head* I don't know why I even brought that up.

Drupal is lacking in the forum integration area that attracted me to XOOPS.

But it can easily surpass XOOPS in this area with some modification.

Good luck XOOPS!

I'm using this platform to run my 2 of my websites. I recently ran into an error. The site is not displaying. I need a little understanding about accessing the recovery.php. I tried access the recovery.php file by typing the site's url, but it displays the same error. Anyone who has had this problem before, please tell me how you were able to correct it.

2a. In XOOPS 2.2, go to your site's root file "recovery.php" and set the debug settings through the interface here

svaha

I'm sorry for bothering you again, but what worked for one website isn't working with another. Both are configured very similarly.

Anyway, there appears to be two references highlighted:

system_block_dummy.html

system_user_lookup.html

next to it is Generate

when I click on GENERATE it ask me to
Press the button below to generate file(s)

when I click the button...
Selected file does not exist)

Since these two references do not exist on my other system, I attempted to delete or replace them with something that will allow the redirect script to work. But of course that might result in other problems.

So right now I'm asking for suggestion on what could be done to solve this problem. Your assistance will be most grateful as you have already proven to be knowlegeable in this area.

thanks Chris

I don't get it. When I go to change the code, it gives me the option to view only. Then I try to upload the file to replace the template and it tells me it only accepted tar. files.

Am I overlooking something? Thanks for your help.

I want to replace the newbb with the phpBB. I know about the module, however, I already have a phpBB forum. What is the easiest way to replace it? What template do I access? And what computer language can I use to replace it?
