As posted earlier (shortened version)"
I changed a few icons & updated the threads, 1st by changing icons & updating in "Forums":, then by doing it again in "Styles" (I know that's the backwards way of doing it). Now I can't access anything but the control panel itself. NOthing else. I tried changing permissions (though I'm still not sure how to do that the supposedly right way) & no differences. I need to get this online immediately - it was all set up & looking good - then - poof!
PLEASE HELP!!!!!

and i'll get you back online

Thanks for trying to sort out the problem p74vic. Unfortunately I'll just have to wait until tomorrow to get this resolved since no one else seems to be responding from my isp or this board (except you, of course).

I appreciate the attempt.
Cheers,

We are unable to help you without the URL to your control panel. Please provide it.

Just sent it in a new post, seconds ago. Here it is again: http://www.meniketti.com/ubb/cp.html

Let me know if you need anything else.

Your cplinks.html file is quite messed up. You have edited the example rather the real BASE HREF. Grab a new copy of cplinks.html from the zip file, open it in a text editor such as notepad and change the BASE HREF to point to your cgi directory.

OK - I updated the cplinks.html file but it says:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /cpanel.cgi on this server.

The BASE HREF is still incorrect. Change it to http://www.meniketti.com/cgi-bin/ (note the / at the end of it).

I noticed when going to the correct URL however that it is coming up with Internal Server Errors. Please post a copy of your permissions here. To view permissions in WS_FTP, click the DirInfo button.

OK - I fixed the cplinks file. Here are the permissions:

OK - that's it.
BTW - my support guy at my isps says that they don't allow 777 permissions because it's a security hole, but that 711 permissions are acceptable. They sell ubb through their site, so they must get it to work with their limitations of 777 permissions. Let me know what you think.
--Dave

The cgi-bin directory is currently set with 711 (drwx--x--x) permissions. Change it to 755 (drwxr-xr-x) permissions. If your host is telling you that you can use 711 permissions instead of 777, the Members directory shouldn't be a problem.

Where are the 4 variable files located? Your permissions do not show them in the cgi-bin directory.
