Question Forum not working: Fatal error: Call to undefined function KUNENA_get_menu()

sorry Led
thats not so ( having problems running Joomla )
im already running J! on this ssrver for a different client
Its been running fine for about 7+ months
that particular installation is not using Kunena

this is the only one im going to be using Kunena on.

I just did a complete removal and install again and i an on this success screen which reads:

---

I N S T A L L : Successful

php version: 5.2.14 (Required >= 5.0.3)
mysql version: 5.1.26-rc-5.1.26rc (Required > 4.1.19)
Thank you for using Kunena!

As a matter of curiosity, what is it that makes you believe this installation was incomplete or unsuccessful per your previous statement?
Im asking because maybe you see something i dont which i should know of when doing these installs

i also wanted to say

when i goto my COMPONENTS after the kunena install
i can click on KUNENA and change its configurations, settings, add forums and so on.

It works
i just cant see it from the front end

ok i went ahead and upgraded my joomla version to 1.5.21
and removed everything Kunena related ( filee, links, folders, and SQL tables )
then i started the install process for Kunena 1.6.0_b3620

Here is what i got

Upon using the UPLOAD feature under INSTALL / UNINSTALL in the backend
i got this screen

1) Select an Installation or Upgrade Option
The Kunena forum has been taken offline.

bla bla bla
i read down the page and i did NOT tell it to use any old information it found from Kunena 5x

instead i told it to
Install Kunena 1.6.0.
which would take NOTHING from old and setup a new forum with sample data
it went through it steps

1. Prepare Installation
2. Extract Component
3. Install Languages
4. Install Plug-ins
5. Update Database
6. Finish Installation


seems like it all checked out

(Im typing this stuff while the install is happening by the way )

Now i see a bunch of "OK" text next to each line of the process
seems like it all checks out so lets click FINISH




ok its working now nad i can see it from thefront end.but it does take a while to load the page
and i see this little box pop up telling its a script is basically taking too long on this page

/plugins/system/mtupgrade/mootools.js:1

mootools? awww what the heck

ok seems like we are getting closer

ill start a new thread with the mos recent strange thing happening since this one no lnoger applies to it
