just in case anyone was wondering i fixed the issue myself, it was stupid simple mistake, i by habit put configure.php in the home directory not the includes dir, because i dont pay attention....
osc is working, forums arent
Warning: main(../includes/configure.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /homepages/14/d187646903/htdocs/silicongrove/shop/phpbb2/config.php on line 15
i have already looked into the code and replaced the parts that said forms/ with phpbb2 as i can see the directions seem to bounce back and forth
