First things first, trying to view your site is a pain in the ass. Pop ups may look pretty to you but its not to your surfers.


Anyway, if your using Apache then you cannot use this forum, it works only with IIS. I am sure this is mentioned in the documentation that comes with it, something like "There is no grantee the forum will run on a Unix/Linux web server even if it supports ASP."

Then again who reads the feckin manual

Well said

Your webhost doesn't support ASP at all, otherwise you would get an error instead of the text files, that just happens when the server doesn't have ASP. I've heard of some that got the forum running on Apache with Chili ASP but I never tried it... tried other components and got errors though... You'll also would have to CHMOD only the database folder to 755 i think and upload folders if you're on a linux server... On a windows server CHMOD don't work so you have to contact your host and have em set write permissions or do it thru you control panel.

The forum won't run at all on Unix web servers.

It will only run on a Windows web server with IIS (or PWS if using win 98)

You DID ask for help did you not? By going to your site I was able to determine you weren't able to run the forum, hence my reply on the previous page. If you had supplied more info I wouldn't have needed to visit your site.

Rather than wasting your time and mine, and everyone else who comes here, if you has simply looked at the documentation you would have saved us all time and money.

Nice to know Borg has spent hundreds of hours developing this stuff, even going as far as telling you how to sort it when its broken by PROVIDING DOCUMENTATION, and thats the sort of comment back.




Bruce, sometimes I wonder why you bother!
