Got my site moved to a new server after convincing the webhost that the GD perl module was not installed on the old server.
My host support said to install the forum to make sure that it was working before they changed the DNS to point to the new server.

After runing Setup.pl, I get the following red box message:

Quoted Text
WARNING!
Your forum may not work properly if you continue. Setup recommends editing the path to directories in Settings.pl and then refreshing this page until this message disappears. There was a problem verifying that the following directories exist:

Avatars Currently set to: /usr/local/apache/htdocs/blahdocs/Avatars
uploads Currently set to: /usr/local/apache/htdocs/blahdocs/uploads
template Currently set to: /usr/local/apache/htdocs/blahdocs/template
The following may help you figure out what your paths are:
Document Root: /usr/local/apache/htdocs
Script name: Setup.pl
Please note that not all server report the above information correctly.


I cannot for the life of me figure out the correct path.
Until the DNS gets changed, my site is located at: http://st06.startlogic.com/~moneysav/


Thanks guys,
...Will

Download and unzip the attached file, upload to your cgi-bin folder and cmod to 755.
Now run it, http://yoursite.com/cgi-bin/perinfo.pl
This will inform you of your DOCUMENT_ROOT, edit your Settings.pl and change:

$bdocsdir2 = "$ENV{'DOCUMENT_ROOT'}/blahdocs";

to reflect the true path.

Okay, I've downloaded the file and checked the info. I made the following change:

$bdocsdir2 = "$ENV{'DOCUMENT_ROOT'}/blahdocs";
to
$bdocsdir2 = "/home/moneysav/public_html/blahdocs";

I no longer get the red box warning, but now I have no images or templates.
When I reach...cgi-bin/forum/Setup.pl?step-1/, the template icons are missing and the two images in the lower right corner are missing. If I proceed any further, the next page loses it's formatting, as well as the images. Apparently, my path is still wrong. What should I check next?

Sorry, I don't know how to post a screenshot of what I'm talking about.

I uploaded Blahdocs in Binary and chmod'd correctly.

Many thanks,
...Will

Check your blahdocs folder and remove any .htacces files there and in the sub folders of blahdocs.

Yes sir. I've deleted the only .htacces file in the blahdocs folder, but nothing changed.
