2.    Edit config.txt to suite your site.
      $themepath = "/your/path/to/forum/Prefs";
      $datpath = "/your/path/to/forum/Members";
      (this will be the same as your $templates in Settings.pl)


For this section of the settings, I have entered this information:
Quoted Text
// Change the following 2 lines to reflect your DOCUMENT_ROOT....
$themepath = "http://forum.beyondtenor.com/CGI-BIN/forum/Prefs";
$datpath = "http://forum.beyondtenor.com/CGI-BIN/forum/Members";


Can anyone poke an error? After installing, the problem arises that I don't see ANYTHING to do any "administration" with, and as Admin for the forum, I myself am BANNED from using the shoutbox. Surely i screwed up. I have replaced the modified "BoardIndex.pl" with the backup I made so no one can see the universally banned shoutbox. I'd appreciate any help.

Ok, so I got it to where it lets me try to post a shout. However, now it always says I'm not logged in. My cookies match rather perfectly, at that.

These path's are incorrect:

Code
$themepath = "http://forum.beyondtenor.com/CGI-BIN/forum/Prefs";
$datpath = "http://forum.beyondtenor.com/CGI-BIN/forum/Members";


They should be directory paths and ont URL's

Mine would be:

Code
$themepath = "/home/fhlinux201/p/pcfixzone.co.uk/user/cgi-bin/forum/Prefs";
$datpath = "/home/fhlinux201/p/pcfixzone.co.uk/user/cgi-bin/forum/Members";

I'm still not getting it to work. Hmm.... Maybe this can help.

This is my Settings.pl portion regarding Directories, extended to viewing cookies settings.
Quoted Text
# Directories Sets
$root = ".";
$code = "./Code";
$boards = "./Boards";
$prefs = "./Prefs";
$members = "./Members";
$messages = "./Messages";
$modsdir = "./Mods";
$images = "/blahdocs/images";
$simages = "/blahdocs/Smilies";
$avsurl = "/blahdocs/Avatars";
$avdir = "/kunden/homepages/10/d253580238/htdocs/Forum/blahdocs/Avatars";
$realurl = "http://forum.beyondtenor.com/CGI-BIN/forum/";
$bdocsdir = "/blahdocs";
$helpdesk = "";
$languages = "./Languages";
$templates = "/kunden/homepages/10/d253580238/htdocs/Forum/blahdocs/template";
$templatesu = "/blahdocs/template";
$buttons = "/blahdocs/buttons";
$bdocsdir2 = "/kunden/homepages/10/d253580238/htdocs/Forum/blahdocs";

# Settings
$regto = qq~BeyondTenor~;
$eadmin = [email protected]~;
$cookpre = qq~BSVF_Forum~;


This is the config.txt file, ommitting my password field for security reasoning:
Quoted Text
<?php
// Configuration Page
$numofposts = "10"; // Number of posts to display
$allposts = "100"; // Number of posts to display per page in archive
$badlang = "1"; // Censor out bad language 1 = On, 0 = Off
$maxchars = "100"; // Number of characters allowed in message field
$imagepath = "images"; // Folder name where smilies are stored. NO Trailing slash
$display_shout = "1"; // Turn the Shoutbox On or Off, used when performing Admin functions. 1 =

Yes, 0 No
$showdate = "1"; // Display date and time when user hovers mouse over post. 1 = On, 0 = Off
$ShoutRefreshTime = 30; // Change this to suite
$title = "BSVF Shout Box"; // Change this to what ever....
$admin = "BeyondTenor"; // Admin username
$password = ""; // password for username
$floodtime = "5"; // Flood control time. In seconds the time before the same user can post another
message. If you don't want any flood control change this to zero (0)
// Change the following 2 lines to reflect your DOCUMENT_ROOT....
$themepath = "/kunden/homepages/10/d253580238/htdocs/Forum/CGI-BIN/forum/Prefs";
$datpath = "/kunden/homepages/10/d253580238/htdocs/Forum/CGI-BIN/forum/Members";
// Change this if you have changed the default cookie prefix....
$username = $_COOKIE['BSVF_Forum'];
?>


Anything else?

Thank you so far, Martin!

If your $realurl is correct:

Code
$themepath = "/kunden/homepages/10/d253580238/htdocs/CGI-BIN/forum/Prefs";
$datpath = "/kunden/homepages/10/d253580238/htdocs/CGI-BIN/forum/Members";

Nothing. My real URL completely to the Blah.pl is http://www.beyondtenor.com/Forum/CGI-BIN/forum/Blah.pl? and my URL to the PHPShout folder is http://www.beyondtenor.com/Forum/PHPShout. That's why I have it as /Forum/CGI-BIN in the directories.

If your real url path is http://www.beyondtenor.com/Forum/CGI-BIN/forum, you can modify your paths to this, it should work.
Code
$themepath = "/kunden/homepages/10/d253580238/htdocs/Forum/CGI-BIN/forum/Prefs";
$datpath = "/kunden/homepages/10/d253580238/htdocs/Forum/CGI-BIN/forum/Members";

Hmm... it appears as though your forum doesn't have themes properly setup. Did you setup your themes in settings.pl?

Ok. I had to modify the Settings.pl for themes. Minor stupid mistake, that I probably did. Ok, so now it all works great, except there are no images showing for the shoutbox. Aside from that, all is great. MAJOUR THANKS MARTIN!

I don't know what you changed but I see no images across your whole site and a 404 where the shoutbox should be?

I reverted back to the original Settings.pl backup I had. By labeling my urls as "/Forum/..." all of my image links and such were to "http://forum.beyondtenor.com/Forum" and that's redundant. "http://forum.beyondtenor.com/" and "http://www.beyondtenor.com/Forum" are the same location. Did you have that problem before you changed things? No one else has a problem now. But when it was all right for you, all of us had a problem.

And my images in the shoutbox are fixed. You do that, Martin?
