Ok, I have just reloaded all of my CGI-BIN. Unfortunatly it is still not working, Would it be worth starting from scratch.

ok after thinking about this long and hard, i have come to a conclusion....

i think i figured it out

ok you created the folders manualy right?

the ubb is suppose to create the folders on it's own, so in your ubb directory you should have a structure like this...

UBB
|
|-Forum1
| |-HTML
| |-ANNC (not always)
|-Forum2
| |-HTML
| |-ANNC (not always)


etc....

well if you created the forum2 folder then it would have the abiltiy to write the files in there, but if there was no html file it can't create the html, your server is having problems creating folders on it's own, so you have to do all the creating, once the folder is created, then the server has no problem writing files in it..

Get back to me once you've taken a look at this thanks

Exstatica

I have created the Forum1, Forum2 folders mannually and I have also created ANNC folders aswell......

I am about to create the HTML folders inside those forums folders and give it ago....

I will keep you posted.....

Don't forget to update threads so it will create the html

Well back once again......

You know how I manually made the directories, Should I delete them and let the board do it itself..... I updated my threads and it went through fine, Tried to make another post - All good, but still not able to read the posts.....

Gee I must sound like a pain in the arse....

Thanks guys, any other Ideas......

so you created the HTML directories, and still no luck? wow, i dunno what to say. have you tried running the ubb_test.cgi for write, permissions? try running that program, and type in the path to your noncgi directoy and see if it has write permissions. it's in the zip file


try and email your isp and make sure the html directories are writable too, and if they are then well sir, i dunno what else i can do.
