I just upgraded the bridge on my Joomla site to the latest version, and after following the instructions correctly, I'm unable to access the forum from Joomla itself. I am recieving the following error:

Warning: main(/home/bcedkea8/public_html/ants/administrator/components/com_smf/admin.smf.class.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/bcedkea8/public_html/ants/components/com_smf/smf.class.php on line 47
Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/bcedkea8/public_html/ants/administrator/components/com_smf/admin.smf.class.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/bcedkea8/public_html/ants/components/com_smf/smf.class.php on line 47
basically it is saying that admin.smf.class.php does not exist. Did the install complete successfully? Did you follow the user guide post install steps?
I've figured out what went wrong - when uninstalling the previous version, the "com_smf" directory failed to be removed completely. I was manually removing the directory from the "Components" directory, but was forgetting about administrator/components - they both have to be removed manually, or it won't install the new version properly.
Just wanted to say thanks for posting this, I'd totally forgotten about the other directory! Been tearing my hair out for the last 10 minutes messing with CHMOD and all kinds
