UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums UBB.classic UBB.classic 5 Support cp.html

Ok I installed UBB 3 times and followed directions completely. Only problem is that when I try to access cp.html from my browser it asks me for a login and password. I tried Admin5/4tugboat and that doesn't work either. Then I tried to just hit cancel and then hit General Settings but, that doesn't work either. Please help me with this.

What is the URL to your control panel? It sounds like there is HTTP Authentication setup for your directories which has nothing to do with the UBB, but rather with the server itself.

The URL is http://www.visnet2k.net/ubb/cp.html

HTTP authentication is coming up when trying to access controlpanel.html. If you did not set this up you will need to contact your host to find out why it is setup like that.

Regarding General Settings and the rest of the control panel links, they are coming up with 403 forbidden errors. Do you have access to the error log? Can you post a copy of your permissions here?

------------------

Where could I find out my permissions? And could it be that I'm installing wrong?

If permissions are set incorrectly, it is probably the cause of the 403 forbidden error that is occuring. To view permissions in WS_FTP click the DirInfo button.

First problem is that the cgi-bin directory is set with incorrect permissions. It is currently set with 777 permissions. It needs to be set with 755 permissions. Can you post a copy of the permissions for the files within the cgi-bin directory?

Most permissions are currently incorrect. Reread the installation instructions and set permissions as specified there.

Directory Permissions:

755 = drwxr-xr-x
777 = drwxrwxrwx

File Permissions:

755 = -rwxr-xr-x
777 = -rwxrwxrwx

When setting permissions, do not trust the permissions dialog box and use the DirInfo button to check permissions. The directory listing might need to be refreshed before showing your new permissions.

Ok, I redid it all. Still theres something wrong? Would you install my copy in for me?

Sure, email me your FTP information.

------------------
mjrand

Ok, I sent you an e-mail with the FTP information.

Fixed. Most permissions were incorrect. As well I have fixed the HTTP Autentication problem by renaming controlpanel.html. Seems your server doesn't like that filename. I have also set your absolute paths for you.

Starus, please do not me too. Start a new post with your problem and include the the URL to your control panel as well as the version you are installing.
