make sure your noncgi directory is writable, and the html directoy in each forum# directoy is writable, if you look in the html folder of the forum see if the html files are there. Let me know if it is.
Ok, I have posted the URL of one of the forums, I couldnt understand what you were trying to tell me..... About the permissions to write, I have emailed the server and let them know. Unsure if there are any other problems.........
Just another quick question, I was readin in another thread that is posted on this forum. Someone was saying that within the Non CGI folder you must have sub folders in there. Being Forum1 - Forum2 etc etc with another sub folder inside them ANNC. I have done this. Am I correct for doing it, or have I wasted my time.
well if your noncgi folder is writable the ubb should do this automaticly, like i said, it is probably not write, and that is why it can't create the html and stuff
I have just recieved an email from my serve stating that they have given the UBB folder write permissions, I went to the page to test and 404 error stills occurs.
yeah that was me, i'm stumped, the only thing i can think of is that one of the scripts is messed up, in that case you should re-upload all the files in the cgi-bin directory. it's worth a shot <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
well if you created the forum2 folder then it would have the abiltiy to write the files in there, but if there was no html file it can't create the html, your server is having problems creating folders on it's own, so you have to do all the creating, once the folder is created, then the server has no problem writing files in it..
Get back to me once you've taken a look at this <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> thanks
You know how I manually made the directories, Should I delete them and let the board do it itself..... I updated my threads and it went through fine, Tried to make another post - All good, but still not able to read the posts.....
so you created the HTML directories, and still no luck? wow, i dunno what to say. have you tried running the ubb_test.cgi for write, permissions? try running that program, and type in the path to your noncgi directoy and see if it has write permissions. it's in the zip file
try and email your isp and make sure the html directories are writable too, and if they are then well sir, i dunno what else i can do.

4. check my absolute paths in general settings if available
Came up with the error of:

i think you delted my username, cause Exstatica is no longer there anymore, i'll re-register, and make me a admin, thanks
oh P.S.
your webhost lied <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> the ubb folder is not writable "Unable to write thread summary file No such file or directory"
if you have them make the ubb writable then all problems would be solved

Ok, I have just sent a nice abusive email to our ISP, but the thing I dont understand is if you try to go to my board, there are no messages at all..... Why was it that we were able to post before and now its like we are back to square 1, with a list of problems...
it doesn't make sense, cause the ubb shows that it is not writable. the reason you were able to post before is you created the directories, the server isn't giving the ubb permissions to create directories.
Well . . . . . what happens now. I have just written another email to server saying blah blah blah.... Do you thin that the permissions is the only problem...?
