I moved my forum from here
http://www.21frets.com/cgi-bin/forum/Blah.pl?
to here
http://host491.ipowerweb.com/~i21frets/cgi-bin/forum/Blah.pl?

you can see everything but the template is working, below is my Settings.pl file, can anyone please tell me what is wrong with the Template dir settings?



$bversion = 16;      # Version

Ok something is not right here, I have a dozen templates all for my version of the forum 10.2.5
but when I try to search new templates from the admin panel - I get this message.

Error
Sorry, but an error occurred. If you are unsure about how to solve this error you can contact the system administrator.
The theme you chose is invalid.

Anyone that can help me - I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks!

You need to contact your host about where the location of the templates directory is.

Change the following:

$images = "http://host491.ipowerweb.com/~i21frets/blahdocs/images/";
To
$images = "/blahdocs/images";

$simages = "http://host491.ipowerweb.com/~i21frets/blahdocs/Smilies/";
To
$simages = "/blahdocs/Smilies";

$avsurl = "/Avatars";
To
$avsurl = "/blahdocs/Avatars";

$avdir = "/Avatars";
To
$avdir = "/home/i21frets/public_html/blahdocs/Avatars";

$templates = "/public_html/blahdocs/template";
To
$templates = "/blahdocs/template";

$templatesu = "http://host491.ipowerweb.com/~i21frets/blahdocs/template";
To
$templatesu = "/home/i21frets/public_html/blahdocs/template";

$buttons = "http://host491.ipowerweb.com/~i21frets/blahdocs/buttons/";
To
$buttons = "/blahdocs/buttons";

$bdocsdir2 = "http://host491.ipowerweb.com/~i21frets/blahdocs";
To
$bdocsdir2 = "/home/i21frets/public_html/blahdocs";

Ok Guys, this is not working, I am assuming now that maybe I need to run the setup.pl file, I will try installing a fresh copy of 10.2.5 and run this setup file to see where that lands me.
What exactly does the setup file do, again I am assuming it has something to do with tying code to directory structure????

Setup.pl checks for the correct file path's and then creates all the initial files to get the board up and running.

If you want me to take a look then pm me your ftp details.

This shows the image:
http://host491.ipowerweb.com/~i21frets/blahdocs/images/crumbs.png

So try this:

$images = "/~i21frets/blahdocs/images";
$simages = "/~i21frets/blahdocs/Smilies";
$avsurl = "/~i21frets/blahdocs/Avatars";
$avdir = "/home/i21frets/public_html/blahdocs/Avatars";
$templates = "/~i21frets/blahdocs/template";
$templatesu = "/home/i21frets/public_html/blahdocs/template";
$buttons = "/~i21frets/blahdocs/buttons";
$bdocsdir2 = "/home/i21frets/public_html/blahdocs";

Martin,
Thanks so much for helping me with this issue!
The forum is up on the new server and dns transfer is in the works. Of course when that takes place I will have to repkace the url parts of the settings.pl file with the real location. Thanks again Martin - you worked a small miracle!
