Ugh... well, thanks for all your help, though! =)

I'm just gonna make a backup of the site, wipe the entire thing, then upload an older version of it that I have (that older version I am POSITIVE was working when I backed it up). If that dosen't work... then I think I have some server issues, or might finally have to admit defeat and find another portal system, since like I said - nothing but endless problems with XOOPS since day one. =(

Thanks again... I really do appriciate your time!!

Just triple checked.. that directory is definitly 777, without a doubt, for sure, certainly, 777. =)

And sorry, it isn't an error at logon, it's an error whenever I make any changes in the admin screen. Lemme just copy/paste the whole thing... I'm noticing that now that I have turned on verbose PHP errors it is much longer:



failed open file

No need to apologise - I appriciate all the help! I've had nothing but problems with XOOPS since day one, only I'm too stubborn to give up on something! hehe So I really appriciate anyone who is willing the take the time to assist me.


Anyway, the cache directory is completly empty. To confirm, I have not touched this directory at all - this is probably the first time I have even FTP'd into it.

Sorry, I deleted the contents of the directory - NOT the directory.

It is already set to Yes.

The Changes: I have a blueprint style border around sections of the site (which has prooven to be the biggest pain thanks to IE). For some reason, that border suddenly stopped working and caused the news on the front page to not display if I used it. So I reverted back to the old version.

While we wait for the company producing our games' logo to come up with it, we put the page on hold, however now the project lead wanted to fix the front page so it had that paper and paper border there again (before it showed nothing and the black text on the wood is very hard to read!)

So, I was trying to make the changes... and found I could literlaly upload a completly blank version of theme_blockcenter_c.html, and the front page would still display just fine - I had to delete the file to make it not display. Heck, I could delete it, then re-upload a blank one, and it would still display just fine.


So - I read the FAQ's, see things cache, and nuke the template_c directory... and that brings us to where we are now.

Ok, site is now set to 'open'.

Also, I'm noticing that whenever I do ANYTHING in the adminu menu,m I get the error that it cannot open a file, and the whole menu on the left side is gone... I presume this is from the same problem and was fine just before.

Just checked... both are definitly 777

I deleted the contents of the templates_c folder, but after this happened I uploaded the contents of that folder back from a backup I had. I never touched the folder labeled 'cache'... just followed the FAQ word for word (I hope!).

Site is already being redirected, but here are the errors I'm seeing:

Okay, I need a quick fix here for this...

On www.tubetwist.com

I couldn't get it to update my changes. So I followed the instructions in the FAQ for sites not updating... and now my site is completly blank! I rewound my changes and re-uploaded the templates_c directory as I keep backups... and it's still blank!!!

Can anyone help me. please?
