Hi!

I can now get my cgis to work, but the control panel won't let me save the general settings.

It says;

Sorry, but we couldn't find a record for the UserName you entered. Please try again.
If you are configuring your bulletin board for the first time, this is probably due to the fact that you did not set the proper variable for your CGI Directory absolute path.

Use your Back button to try again.

I re-uploaded all of the files. I rechecked permissions and used WS-FTP for ASCII mode.

my control panel is a www.frimousses.net/ubb/cp.html

here is a copy-paste from dirinfo
for the relevant directories

What is the problem

I was just able to successfully submit your general settings. Were you using the default userid/password combo from the Installation instructions, step 12?

If not, that was your problem.

By the way, you have the cgi-bin at 777, it only needs to be at 755.
