I have got this path error when trying to run admin:

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

I have tried editing the config.inc.php with notepad andchanging the \ to \\ in all the path statements and also changing them to / not sure where to go now - this is from my config file:

Url to the main UBB.threads php install
$config['phpurl'] = "http://www.smtperror.net/ubbthreads";

// Absolute Url containing the images
$config['images'] = "/ubbthreads/images";

// Path to your images directory, needed for calculating image sizes
$config['imagepath'] = "c:/inetpub/wwwroot/ubbthreads/images";

// Url to your stylesheets directory
$config['styledir'] = "/ubbthreads/stylesheets";

// Path to your UBB.threads php install
$config['path'] = "c:/inetpub/wwwroot/ubbthreads/";

// Path to your stylesheets directory
$config['stylepath'] = "c:/inetpub/wwwroot/ubbthreads/stylesheets";

// Domain that UBB.threads is running under.
$config['referer'] = "http://www.smtperror.net";

Obviously I must be missing something???

[]c:inetpubwwwrootubbthreads/config.inc.php is not writeable


To use the option from the admin menu, you need to set the permissions on config.inc.php and theme.inc.php to 666. You can do that from an FTP program (there should be an option to change permissions). In some programs the files have r, w, and x instead of numbers. In that case, 666 is rw-rw-rw- . If you telnet, I believe you can use the command chmod 666, but I'm not exactly sure of the syntax, because I haven't used telnet in way too long.

Your paths/urls will probably be similar to this:

// Url to the main UBB.threads php install
$config['phpurl'] = "http://www.yourdomain.com/ubbthreads";

// Absolute Url containing the images
$config['images'] = "/ubbthreads/images";

// Path to your images directory, needed for calculating image sizes
$config['imagepath'] = "/usr/local/plesk/apache/vhosts/yourdomain.com/httpdocs/ubbthreads/images";

// Url to your stylesheets directory
$config['styledir'] = "/ubbthreads/stylesheets";

// Path to your UBB.threads php install
$config['path'] = "/usr/local/plesk/apache/vhosts/yourdomain.com/httpdocs/ubbthreads";

// Path to your stylesheets directory
$config['stylepath'] = "/usr/local/plesk/apache/vhosts/yourdomain.com/httpdocs/ubbthreads/stylesheets";

(The paths are going to be worded much differently, I'm sure, but that's the direction the slashes should go. )

All files already have rw-rw-rw and I am running under a win2k install with IIS - I have already tried reversing the slashes - any other ideas?

Are you logging in to the server with an account that has write privelages on the directory and files that you want to change?
