Hello -
I have followed the instructions for the UNIX installation and have done everything in terms of permissions, etc.
However when I execute the cp.cgi file from my browser and I get to the part where it is asking for the location of the NONCGI files I tell it to go to the /ubb directory but it says it can't find it (even though it's there and I see it and the 777 permissions are assigned to it).
Now I did another test where I took the /ubb directory and placed it into the /cgi directory (I know the instructions say NOT to do this but I am testing theories on directory rights). When I put it into the /cgi directory I can completely finish configuration, register the admin acct and see the forums, BUT there is 1 problem. None of the graphics will show up that were in the /ubb directory. I just get that blank box with a red X in it which says it can't find the file. I am assuming somewhere buried in the code there are pointers to where the files are.
So either of 2 questions to help me respond:
1. Why do you think the first issue is happening when I install things according to the instructions? (i.e. getting the error that it can't find the non-cgi folder)
or
2. How do I fix the paths in the code to allow having the non-cgi folder and files in the CGI directory?
This is quite urgent. The not-for-profit that I volunteer for has been down for nearly a week and I am desparate to get them back up.
Thanks,
