Thanks, I"ll be looking into the new hosting solution.

Your welcome, I appoligize if I sounded a bit blunt there. Best of luck to you-

They're a little more co-operative now that I've asked for a refund. Here's their last reply.

You may use the following URL to access the phpinfo for your server: [ Register or login to view links on this board. ]

We have noticed that you have not set any of your folders to Modify, as to let your script have access to make any changes to them. The install procedure for PHP-Nuke includes steps for changing file permissions. Please review the Knowledge Base Article in the Help and Support section of the control panel, under Web Site Developer Information, titles File and Folder Permissions, to ensure that they are set correctly for your scripts, as we do not have write access enabled for your folders by default. This may mainly affect your Upload directories.

If you still wish to cancel your account, you may do so in the control panel, under User Services.

Which file permissions should be changed for this and do you think there may be an issue with my paths in my preferences of phpnuke or the forums vrs how they have me set up?

Please, do not hesitate to contact us if you have any further questions.

I had a feeling you were on a windows server, this is taken from that phpinfo:

Windows NT localhost 5.0 build 2195
Build Date Feb 15 2003 23:02:25
Server API CGI/FastCGI
Virtual Directory Support enabled
Configuration File (php.ini) Path C:\WINNT\php.ini

This process only really applies if your PHP-Nuke will be installed on a Linux/Unix server, if instead you will install it on Windows operating systems you don't have to do anything.

All I am seeing are contradictions here from the host, Folder permissions have zip to do with that error...I am 99.0% sure of that. (always open to 1%)

My host said they looked into the issue further and notice I'm trying to call for the file modules.php from within the modules/forums/ folder and the file doesn't exist and that's why I"m getting that error. So I went into login.php and searched for modules.php and found it at line 14

Header("Location: modules.php?name=Your_Account&redirect=$forward_page");
$username = ( $userdata['user_id'] != ANONYMOUS ) ? $userdata['username'] : '';

I don't know php very well at all. Is it possible that I'm calling the header somewhere else and it's ignoring this duplicate or perhaps an issue with the pathing. I would assume that this Header(); function is supposed to call from my root directory but for some reason it's not.

Jooma, I am not trying to sound harsh here but if you uploaded Nuke correctly...or installed through some auto install utility, then it should simply work...no CGI errors, no looking for a module it can't find. Once in a while stuff happens, but this seems to be one wacko thing after another and I can't help but suspect your host. Have you tried starting from fresh? new database, new Nuke install...the whole ball of wax. If you decide to do this please use nothing higher than Nuke 7.6.0. Patched 3.0d.

I reinstalled 7.7 patched today and upgrade my forums to 2.016

I'll try 7.6 but I get the same errors on my other website running 7.5
