I've been trying to install UBB today and everything seemed to be going fine until I was instructed togo to the control panel page (cp.html) and click on General Settings. I could get to the control panel alright but when i click on General Settings or any of the other options all i get is a "403 - Forbidden" error and get told I don't have authorization. Have I set something up wrong?

What is the URL to your control panel? Ensure that all file and directory permissions are set correctly.

The URI of the control panel is http://violentlyhappy.webprovider.com/ubb/cp.html .
I got rid of everything and reuploaded setting all the permissions again but it hasn't seemed to have helped.

According to your hosts FAQ you cannot use the cgi-bin directory for cgi scripts. Create a cgi-local directory and try running the scripts from there.

Thanks a lot! That worked. I hadn't seen that FAQ before only the other CGI thing they've got, I'll check it out first next time.
Thanks again.
