Hello,

I recently backed up my forum adn noticed that i was supposed to remove it from the web server, the message said it was in the root. But when i wen to the forums root i found nothing. I believe the root is the folder with code, board ETC... in it? I have also looked in blahdocs and found nothing.

have a look in your cgi-bin, then where you have the forum, it should be in that same place as the Blah.pl file etc.

Looked there no luck. Also the backup procedure just seems to take 2 seconds, so I think it is just blowing us off. This does work under linux - right?

Yes it does.  What version are you running?  This is very odd.  The file should be in your forum folder.

Is it a shared host or your own server?  Maybe you don't have the gunzip (spelling?) feature installed.  I'm not sure if I'm saying that right, but it is what ever allows a UNIX / LINUX server compress files.

Justin, jump in if I am saying this wrong

It could be a permission issue in the directory Blah.pl is located?  I'm honestly not sure.  gzip should be installed by default though?


I do installs for $25 and upgrades for $20.
