Edit it accordingly.......to what? To my forums folder? To config.php? to config_grps.php?

it says edit it, not rename it.

This appears to be ok, as when I run grps_installer, I only get 3 errors.

Oh, then I see there's a chdir command in the grps_installer.php. I did seem to figure out that I need to edit this as well. Change to chdir("../"); on line 16. Ok...down to 2 errors now.

Now my errors are on line 36 of grps_installer.php. "require_once("./global.php");".

Is this line failing because it cannot find global.php?

Here's the error:

Warning: main(./global.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\groups\tools\grps_installer.php on line 36

Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required './global.php' (include_path='.;c:\php4\pear') in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\groups\tools\grps_installer.php on line 36

please not that the errors denote you haven't successfully edited your configuration file.

Please note that your config should read

PHP Code:

chdir("../forum/"); 


there is no need to edit any other php file.
