does this work with 4.2 p2? some reason it's not adding the tab in the nav bar

[holzy40]

I'm having trouble. I have installed: product-tournament2008.xml and have rebuild caches. However when I click in my navigation bar for Competitions I get this error: "HTTP 404 - File not found. The page you are looking for might have been removed,
had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable."

Not sure what to do?? Any help would be great!

Is there any way to do a league or season here, like a year long fifa league or a forumla 1 season?

Yeah that's what I need to do. Do you know how to up load them or what folder etc. I'm new to this and not sure where I up load them too. I have my FTP user name and what not and use FileZilla but just not sure on how to up load. Wish I had a video or some directions on how to do this.

By the way I am using the newest vB forum 4.2.x I think.

Thanks

1. Create directory \images\ladder_avatars\ if it does not exist
2. CHMOD directory 777
3. Upload (blank) index.html so that no-one can see contents of the directory
