UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums UBB.classic UBB.classic 5 Support www and cgi are different servers!

Our ISP have a setup where http://www.oursite.com and http://cgi.oursite.com work fine but are completely different servers with different file space. We've been running with everything on the cgi server, even the ubb directory. The ISP have told us that we've used our small quota on cgi and we should use the www server for html files, but UBB stores stuff on the cgi server. There is no link between the two servers except http. Is there a way that UBB will run with scripts on the cgi server and store its data on the web server?

Unless the cgi scripts have direct read/write access to files on the www, the UBB will not work. If, however, your network does allow this writing from one server to another, expect serious delays in processing message requests. In other words, this is not a good solution even if it does work!!
