That's a notice not an error. Here's some reading that may help: [ Register or login to view links on this board. ]

ok I will try my best but this is all new to me:
PHP-Nuke Content Management System 7.7 (1.0-7)
PhpBB Bulletin Board 2.0.19 (1.0-4

these came as add on's from the people that host my site I just clicked on them and they installed.

I'm not a big fan on those "Auto Install" scripts you see in your control panel, you can try uninstalling and reinstalling...if you read what it says in that link it may be the php.ini file needs some editing, if your on a shared webserver you probably won't have access to that file, only your webhost will. You may want to show them that notice so they can adjust the error level reporting on the server. If your on a Linux server there's also a way to edit the .htaccess file to correct this, just read the links within that link I posted.

so you think it would be better if i did it myself and not use my web hosts programs?
if I did that where do I send the files to?

Is everything working correctly with that notice coming up? I think it's pretty harmless if it doesn't bother you that it's there...then again if it does bug ya you could ask your host to edit the php.ini (adjust the error level reporting on the server) to kill the notice error your getting.

I prefer installing Nuke manually, but that's me. I've seen a lot of weird results from using CPanel for installs, plus you really don't know exactly what your getting in the package (could have malicious code inserted) and you learn more doing it yourself (if you want to learn that is). You will need an FTP client to access your site if you don't already have one, and I'm afraid more reading will help a lot to: [ Register or login to view links on this board. ]

If you get stuck somewhere, just come on back...we are here to help.
