Script URL: http://www.newdogdigital.com/Mboard/mboard.php
Version of script:
Version of PHP: 1.21
Hosting company: New Dog Digital
Have you searched THIS FORUM for your problem: yes
(if not please do before posting)
If so, what terms did you try: could not find search feature so i searched manually

Write your message below: When i add a new topic, nothing happens. No topic is added??

Also, when i click on "Insert Smileys", a new window opens but instead of smileys, all i get is a new message board in the new window where i still can not add a message??

My server does support PHP and i believe it is a Unix server but when i checked it the only information i find about the server is that it is located on a SunCobalt machine.
I set the permissions to all necessary files and folders and i get no error messages when posting.

what could possibly be going on here???

What is your

$settings['mboard_url']

in settings.php set to?

You probably have

$settings['mboard_url']='http://www.newdogdigital.com/Mboard/mboard.php';

Change it to

$settings['mboard_url']='http://www.newdogdigital.com/Mboard';

Thank you very much for your quick response.

I changed my settings as you suggested and now my smileys work properly but i still have the problem of not being able to post new messages.

I am looking further into my settings to see if i made other mistakes however, if you have other ideas i would love to hear them

Thanks again for the support

Hi,

What is your version of PHP? It can't be 1.21, or is it

You should have at least PHP 4.3 installed.

Upload this file to your Mboard folder, it might give me some clues:

Hi,

Yes, that's exactly the problem. MBoard required PHP version at least 4.3, your version is 4.0.6.

4.0.6 is an old version back from June 2001! You should contact your hosting company and ask them to update PHP to the latest version (4.3.13 at the moment). Having such an old version is not secure and if they are a serious host they should do it for free (I wonder why they haven't already...).

Once your PHP is 4.3.x MBoard should work without a problem.

just an update:

I contacted my host and they said the server was not compatable with PHP 4.3.x so i had them move the site to a server that was compatable. I now have PHP 4.3.1 and the Mboard works just fine now.

Thanks again for your help and for the wonderfull message board
