Topic: using the miniportal, why would i get a 500 error on index.php...

and not forum.php?

www.6x6productions.com/index.php  <- bad
www.6x6productions.com/forum.php  <- good

as far as i can tell i followed the instructions correctly. i've tried re-uploading the index.php file but no change.

or is this something beyond my control? hosting issue?

i did a quick search and have found that other's seemed to have had host issues. correct?

QUAKER! hop on im.
