Which forum version did you try to install?

Older versions required register_globals to be "on", and that's what happened when it wasn't. The current version is 2.7.1 and no longer relies on register_globals.

Maybe I am wrong and the Forum does require register_globals to be on? Can you try that?

I'm pretty sure that register_globals do not have to be on for the forum. Have you installed other plugins that are not from portalparts and have they worked?

I have a feeling you probably forgot to move the lib-portalparts.php file to the system directory...

Check that.

Have you installed any other plugins besides chatterblock (which is from protalparts)?

Turning off registered globabls shouldn't take down the site, it may look a server config issue.

See the FAQ: Blank page

Btw, this really doesn't sound like you're using the latest versions of either Geeklog or the forum ...

Yes, those are the latest versions. I'm just surprised that the forum seems to require register_globals and that you get a blank page in Geeklog when an error occurs (instead of Unfortunately, an error has occurred rendering this page. Please try again).

The problem in your case seems to be that you forgot to copy the lib-portalparts.php that ships with the forum into your system directory.

Here's how you can disable a plugin. That should at least get your site back up.

Not sure why it's causing you such odd problems, though.

I removed
$CONF_FORUM['leftblocks'] = ppGetUserBlocks($CONF_FORUM['leftblocks']);
fron the plugins config.php file

and eveverything works now
I'm able to acess site, create forums and post in them. Everything is functional


Is it okay to run forum this way?

and why does this fix the issue?
