phpBB : Critical Error

Could not open blue template config file

DEBUG MODE

Line : 326
File : /home/rushings/public_html/forum/includes/functions.php

Either you re-install the theme OR

if you have acces to your MySQL server you change the forum back to the original theme.

1: open the db and browse the phpbb_config (might be something else _config)

2: find the default_style value (will be on page 2 if you use phpMyAdmin)

3: change it back to 1

4: if the original theme is still installed your forum will go back to this.

Good luck
