I have installed the demo version of UBB6 on a local win2k server to test. Installation appeared to be fine - and I even managed to change forum names, and put in 2 posts. I then put it aside for 2 days.
Upon returning to this project, I discovered I can not perform any action on the forum. I can neither post a new topic, nor reply, nor post to a new forum, nor register as a new user (although after the 'software error' message it appears that I am logged in as under a different user name however there is no record in the control-panel of other users except for the first one registered on the first day of installtion). <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
I've re-checked in the IIS that scripts and executables are allowed.
Ive checked that perl is mapped properly.
Ive checked the win2k security settings for the cgi, ubb and members folders.
For every action I try to perform I get a software error message. They all are variations of this:
Content-type: text/html
Software error:
Unable to open lasttime.file : Permission denied at e:/inetpub/wwwroot/cgi-bin/ubb_new_topic.cgi line 106.
For help, please send mail to this site's webmaster, giving this error message and the time and date of the error.
apologies if Ive overlooked the obvious, and also if I have posted to the wrong forum.
I'm still quite new to this.
thanks,
a.
