I was reading King Pins message about absolute paths and someone told him he was trying to install on what he thought was a Unix machine when it was in fact an NT machine.
I'm having the same problem he was, that it says the absolute path for the cgi dirrectory must be wrong and to go back and fix it.
But, from the info I pasted below, you can plainly see that I'm on a Unix machine.
So what am I doing wrong?
Please help if you can.....

I don't know what you're asking exactly, but your cgi paths appears to be:

/data1/va/fleabargins/cgi-bin

Just a thought <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I've tried every way possible to get the absolute paths correct and every time, I get the same message.....
Go back and enter the absolute paths correctly.
I added King Pins story because I thought it was relative to mine.

ez1231, you are indeed on a UNIX server. The absolute path to your noncgi directory was incorrect. I have set the correct path, you should be able to continue with your UBB installation.
