Guys I am not having any luck setting up the file attachment feature on my site. I created a folder (file_attachment) on the server under public forums, I tested the directory and it says it passed, put the URL in and when I attach a file to a post and try to open it I get a "webpage cannot be displayed" screen, what am I doing wrong?

Does the actual upload path match with the "public" path you reach your files with.

maybe that is where I screwed it up, I just went to public_HTML and created a new folder (files_attachments) and tested the directory. I did not do anything else. Do I need to do something else in order to get it to work?

In your feature settings > attachments you can set both a Attachment Storage Directory and a Full URL to Attachment Storage Directory, both settings should match and point to the same directory. The first one the actual path on your webserver, the 2nd one the url where you can reach this path.

First line is your server path:

Attachment Storage Directory: /home/myserver/public_html/ubbthreads/myattachments

Second is your URL:

Full URL to Attachment Storage Directory: http://www.mywebsite.com/ubbthreads/myattachments

The myattachments folder on the server should be CHMOD 777

Yeah, I'd put the /attachments directory inside the /threads directory
