Charles, call me gun-shy <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
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 <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
