Hi Dave, I'm no expert here but I did notice you are still having some folder/directory issues.

Check out this link to see what I mean:- http://www.gloversvilleandbeyond.com/cgi-bin/bbs62x/webbbs_config.pl?debug

From the 4 errors marked, it looks like you have a misconfigured folder (/webbbs & it's subfolders) or it's permissions are not correct.

But when I tried:- http://www.gloversvilleandbeyond.com/webbbs/smileys/biggrin.gif It works as it should???

When I get into your Forum - Main Index and click on Post to create a new post I get another error. I checked out the link it took me to and here it is:- http://www.gloversvilleandbeyond.com/~2710880.2978105//cgi-bin/bbs62x/webbbs_config.pl?md=form;id=0

It should be this:- http://www.gloversvilleandbeyond.com/cgi-bin/bbs62x/webbbs_config.pl?md=form;id=0

This is the part that shouldn't be there:- ~2710880.2978105/

Double check all your paths, folder locations, permissions and until you get all green check in Debug you will continue to have trouble..

in your htdocs ($ENV{DOCUMENT_ROOT) folder have you tried putting all your folders in there, so you get this:-

/htdocs
/htdocs/bbs + sub folders (777)
/htdocs/cgi-bin + subfolders (775)
/htdocs/webbbs + sub folder (777)

I hope I'm on the right track here..

In my own site (with 1and1.com) I have this setup and it works for me:-

/htdocs/PS (one of my sites and this sites Document Root)
/htdocs/PS/bbs + sub folders (777)
/htdocs/PS/public_html/cgi-bin + subfolders (775)
/htdocs/PS/public_html/webbbs + sub folder (777)

Cheers

: I finally cheated. I noticed at the end of the script's error
: message was the location of their files. I copied and pasted
: that long string of whatever into the script's variable and it
: worked.

: You might consider putting that in the instructions.
