help with ezportal admin mod

[greycouncil]

The first step in the instructions is

#-----[UPLOAD to root and RUN ]------------------------------------------
#
ezportal_admin_db_install.php ["Warning" delete after install!!!]



I have no clue on how to do this any tips would be appreciated.

Upload ezportal_admin_db_install.php to your main directory (with portal.php, index.php, admin directory, etcetera). From there, go into your web browser and type your forum address into the address bar followed by ezportal_admin_db_install.php. E.g. http://yourdomain.suffix/ezportal_admin_db_install.php or http://yourdomain.suffix/forum/ezportal_admin_db_install.php depending on your configuration. When you go to this page it should do all the work for you. Then just delete the file and you're away. Continue and as long as you don't use Firefox, everything should work.

It's done. Delete the file. Now, if everything else is done, you should be able to edit you portal through the Administration Panel.

I deleted it and nothing is showing in the admin panel,

do i need to place this file admin_portal in my admin folder even though the instructions does not say to?


update
I uploaded the admin_portal.php fime into admin folder and i logged into forum and the portal admin shows in the admin control panel but when i click on portal config i get this error
Template->make_filename(): Error - file admin/portal_config_body.tpl does not exist

not authorised error when i do the install on the admin
