Write your message below:

After trying to begin a topic and entering the security code I get this message:

Warning: fopen(msg/5.html) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Not a directory in /hermes/bosweb26c/b2958/nf.kenilworthguide/public_html/retireesunited/mboard/mboard.php on line 451

Error

Couldn't create file "msg/5.html"! Please CHMOD the "msg" folder to 666 (rw-rw-rw)!

The topic appears in the Topic List but clicking it gets a "page not found".

I've tried CHMODing the msg folder to 777 instead of 666 but it makes no difference.

Hope you can help.

Are you 100% sure you have a *folder* called "msg" (lower case letters) in your "mboard" folder?

I get a page not found when I try to open the folder:
http://www.retireesunited.net.au/mboard/msg/

Hello Klemen,

There is a file msg in the mboard folder with a size of 0.

When I look at the address (http://www.retireesunited.net.au/mboard/msg) I get a blank page, not an error message.

[Klemen]

"msg" should be a folder/directory, not a file!

Try creating an empty directory inside "mboard" named "msg" and chmod the "msg" directory to 777.

Sorry, I misread file for folder. OK now thanks.
