Warning -- Pre-flight check: Old placeholder file is in the way
The Pre-flight check shows a warning that says, “Old placeholder file is in the way: /home/MYSITE_ACCOUNT/public_html/forum”
This is a Textpattern site I just upgraded to 4.0.5 from 4.0.4.
That URL is a phpBB forum. I have the forum in a folder named /forum at: /home/MYSITE_ACCOUNT/public_html/forum.
There is also a section named: forum, but it has no articles. I’m not sure what a placeholder file is.
Is the problem that I have to remove that section?
Thanks for any help or suggestions.

Re: Warning -- Pre-flight check: Old placeholder file is in the way
You will have problems with ambiguous urls, because obviosuly you cannot have a url like domain.tld/forum/ show the forum index and the section overview at the same time. If you have files or directories with the same as a section, you will see unexpected results.
Better change the name of the section or the name of the subfolder ro remove the ambiguity.

Thanks, Seneca, that helps. At your suggestion, I removed the section and the warning disappeared.
