Topic: Unable to update board config

Hello, I've moved PunBB from one subdomain to another, and every time I try to update admin options it shows Unable to update board config screen.

The base URL is 100% correct. What's next, what file attributes, where ?


thanks in advance,
Rick

Try clearing the cache subfolder.

Strofanto: pardon - browser cache or forum ?

the forum cache folder and verify the rights on this folder, write should be allowed

I did that, removed files and 777 to the folder, but I had to move back cache_config.php and cache_bans.php to simply display the forum. I granted 755 to the files inside, but no trouble shot still. In the admin interface save changes is problematic.

I guess there's some minor fix required.


thanks,
Rick

-rw is 6, not 5. 5 is r-x. If you've 755'ed the files, they're only writeable by owner.

Re: Unable to update board config

should it be 775 ?

Depends upon your config. 666 gives read/write access for all. First number is owner, second number is group, third number is everyone else. But, as I say, depends upon your setup what perms are needed. A 666 will be the easiest for testing, then change to minimal required perms once you've done the testing.

Re: Unable to update board config

I know that, Matt, the problem is - the board on my server works only with 755 perms up. For testing I gave 777, but it's not the solution, no save changes in admin options.

I wonder, does the initial installation chmod the files automatically (since it was working ok then) ?

Starting again, what is your exact problem? In your initial post you said you were receiving an error when you tried saving changes, but above you're saying the save changes option isn't present. So which is it?
