Do that first just in case you have a bigger problem that this is an indication of. Next I would just grab the 3.0.5 tar ball of phpBB and grab the index page out of that and put it back where it should be, then monitor the apache error and access logs looking for other missing pages (if there are any just grep the logs for 404 errors) and replace them as you find them. Also if you do find out what went wrong it might be worth pinging the phpBB devs and let them know or post up the solution either on that site or the StaffsLug site or anywhere where it can be indexed by Google in case people have the same problem. I once came across a problem building a perl module and after eventually tracking down the error message threw it into Google only to find the exact problem and solution as first hit :) I had written it down a couple of months previously and forgotten all about it :) </suck eggs mode> _______________________________________________ Staffslug mailing list Staffslug(a)staffslug.org.uk http://lists.staffslug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/staffslug
