Gizmo,
for me there not a single dumb question so shoot as much as you want to;)

1, Installed a new UBB.classicâ„¢ 6.7.3 on the new Linux server
2, Downloaded/uploaded the "vars" except vars_config.cgi
3, Downloaded/uploaded Members and noncgi
4, rebuilt & reindex (didn't) see any upgrade button as said in the manual.
Every seemed fine until I ttried to open a forum or a message or the FAQ. Rest was ok I as far as I could tell.

Then I realised that I had both old and new cashe in noncgi/ so I downloaded the vars_config.cgi and changed the cashe dir name to the old
q!cache_pw! => q!VLDCR6CB!,
even changed the q!Cookie_Number! => q!2452118.0459!,

Still same problem nothing happened.

Could the path's be wrong? I personally don't think so because I tested the board before the upload of the old board. first I did not upload anything else in the CGI-Bin except from the "vars files" then when it didn't work I uploaded the Modules dir (but I kept the original renamed on the server) I also uploaded the forumsBACKUP.cgi...

Any clues??? I'm in distress and it's not fun at all ;(

Thanks for any help from you guy's
