UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 7 Development How Do I? Problem with the admin tool

I just upgraded from 5.5.1 to 6.0.1 I did everything and it is working for the most part but when I go to the admin tool and click on the config setting I get this

f:web sitesdaocubbthreads/config.inc.php is not writeable, so you will not be able to use this tool until the permissions are changed.

notice the slashes are missing for the f:\web site\...

I don't know anything about this PHP stuff and now they add the templats.

What should I do?

welcome

Double-check that you have correct paths set in main.inc.php and config.inc.php. That should fix the problems.

I do as far as I know here is what they look like

main.php
<?

// THIS NEEDS TO BE SET, OTHERWISE ADMIN SCRIPTS WILL NOT WORK
// THIS IS THE ACTUAL PATH TO YOUR PHP INSTALLATION
$thispath = "f:\web sites\daoc\ubbthreads";

// PATH TO YOUR config.inc.php file. BY DEFAULT THIS IS THE
// SAME AS $thispath, BUT IF YOU MOVE config.inc.php TO ANY
// OTHER LOCATION YOU MUST SPECIFY IT HERE.
$configdir = "f:\web sites\daoc\ubbthreads";

// DO NOT EDIT ANYTHING BELOW THIS LINE!
include("$thispath/ubbt.inc.php");

// Page load times
$timea = getmicrotime();

?>

I have the same path in the config.inc.php also the config file is in the ubbthreads folder.

Try using forward slashes instead of back slashes:

$thispath = "f:/web sites/daoc/ubbthreads";
$configdir = "f:/web sites/daoc/ubbthreads";

'\' is a metacharacter in PHP. If you want to use it as a literal in a quoted string, you would need to escape it as '\\'. But using forward slashes is simpler, if that works.

ok I don't get that error but when I go to save my changes I get this

Warning: fopen("f:/web sites/daoc/ubbthreads/config.inc.php", "w") - Permission denied in F:\web sites\daoc\ubbthreads\admin\doeditconfig.php on line 386

Warning: fwrite(): supplied argument is not a valid File-Handle resource in F:\web sites\daoc\ubbthreads\admin\doeditconfig.php on line 387

Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid File-Handle resource in F:\web sites\daoc\ubbthreads\admin\doeditconfig.php on line 388

I have full access to all the ubb files so it should be able to write.

make sure config.inc.php has 777 permissions on it

It seems to be working except for the tab in the Special functions area to track the posts. you have 3 choices.

1. No, don't track new posts
2. Only track new posts on individual threads (thread only)
3. Do full new post tracking (full)

it only will let me choose 1 or 2 if I try the 3rd it reverts to the 1st choice.

BTW how would I insert the spell checker in my board?

thank you for your help.

See this bug fix.

The spell checker is a hack. Look for it in the V6 Beta Modifications forum.

Thank you very much.
