Sounds like you need to double-check the url's you're inputting. Right-click on the broken image and see what url is in the properties tab.

Perhaps, but that does not explain why it was working for a while and then stopped.

FWIW, I had to disable cache to get it to run.

Stop disabling the cache to work around problems. Instead, fix the problems.

First things first - try changing the NonCGI URL from the control panel rather than by editing vars_config. That will ensure that the board knows that the URL is changing, so it can perform some minor maintenance......

Charles, call me gun-shy

I did change the non-cgi url and cgi-bin url in the CP.cgi, but it did not help. After a bit of trial and error, and manually edited vars_config, changed the DNS names to IPs, and then re-ran the CP.cgi - that's how I was able to disable cache. Why did I disable cache ? the posts wouldn't refresh...

should I make the non-cgi (ubb) url a DNS name or should I make both non- and cgi-bin urls DNS-friendly

GMK

Why would the NonCGI URL be any different than the CGI URL as far as DNS is concerned? They're both on the same domain name, right?

I meant in the CP.cgi

OKay, now I'm horribly confused.

So, what, exactly, happens when you reset the CGI URL to http://www.driveradvocate.com/cgi-bin and the NonCGI URL to http://www.driveradvocate.com/ubb using the control panel?

1) change .urls as described in the quoted text

2) once the screen refreshes, the .jpg and .gif icons are no longer visible. Instead, you see a bunch of RED [X] (placeholders + broken images).

3) trying to change things back to the IP address does nothing - click any link in CP.cgi and you see the main cp.cgi screen

4) starting a new cp.cgi session - cannot log in.

5) to fix this - manually edit vars_config.cgi file

Smells like more server configuration problems, like the weird frameset issue.

The problem with cp.cgi sounds like POST data isn't getting through somehow... Check your server configuration.
