RN install in subdirectory giving theme errors

I have a long running PHP Nuke website that I (and others) have upgraded PHP Nuke, Nuke Sentinel, patched files, added/deleted modules etc. The database became a barely usable mess.

I decided to scrap the old DB and start fresh. New RN v2.20 install went flawlessly. Now the issue. I decided to get the old database going just to allowing viewing of the old forums.

I did a fresh install of RN v2.20 to a subdirectory of the main site. During the installation I didn't install basic PHPNuke tables, but did install Nuke Sentinel tables. I pointed it to the old DB and got a blank page. Enabling display errors gives me:

Code:

The directory is correct. The main site is clanbeowulf and subdirectory oldforums.

It is quite likely that the database structures are not compatible. You will probably need to convert your old database to the format expected by RN. There are guidelines on how to do this in the included docs.

It looks like its not reading your config table for the default theme. Make sure your table settings are correct in config.php

I forgot to mention I did this at 3AM and was in a loopy bonehead state.
I'm embarrassed to say I just forgot to upload that theme.
I hope ya'll didn't burn too many braincells on my stupid oopsy.
