Yes it worked and new members could register before I tried to apply the who's online hack!
My variables are in the cgi-bin directory..which netfirms says to set to 755 and it worked fine. The instruction with wol says to set cgi-bin and Templetes directories and all the files in those directories to 777!
Well like a dummy I didn't check each file in the directories and record their properties.....I didn't get the wol hack to work...so I went back to a backup copy I had downloaded! But I don't think it keep track of the property settings..LOL!
Anyway...I chmod the cgi-bin dir back to 755 and the board worked again (but new members couldn't register).. I also chmod all the .cgi to 755 and all the variables to 777! (Not sure what the settings were for Templetes directory before I tried the hack) I don't know if any of the cgi files need to be 777 or not!
I am pretty sure my problem is just with the chmod settings....I just don't know what should be what..LOL!
I may have to just delete everything and setup the board again!
Thanks for any suggestions!
