MBoard in windows hosting

[Vijay]

I tried to use the mboard on my website. Though php is supported, i can't get the script working. there's no cgi/cgi-bin folder present. i only have the wwwroot folder where i uploaded the site & it's working but not the board & CHMOD isn't supported. Help!!!

Nobody can't help you with what you currently wrote. Post the URL to your installation, write what error messages you are getting, give us specific problems. Just saying "help, it doesn't work" does not give us any info.

i am sorry i wasn't more clearer earlier . I followed through the readme.html & configured settings.php However my hosting is on a windows2003 server & i cannot set CHMOD attributes. though php & cgi-bin support is enabled.

i get error message "command not understood" on trying to set attributes via flashfxp/ws-ftp/filezilla.
500 'SITE chmod 777 /xyz.com/wwwroot/mboard': command not understood.

i read http://www.phpjunkyard.com/ftp-chmod-tutorial.php & found the following mentioned there.

"CHMOD on Windows servers

Not all platforms understand the CHMOD command, Windows servers for example don't support CHMOD. Most Windows hosting plans come with a folder called "cgi-bin" or "cgi" which is pre-configured to allow files being writable by scripts. If you are having trouble installing your scripts on a Windows server (get an "Please CHMOD to 666" error) try installing the script within your "cgi-bin" directory!
"

Now how do i install scripts in cgi-bin directory?

Hi,

Just upload the scripts and all the files into your cgi-bin folder, for example to
http://www.yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/mboard

You must still setup the settings.php file, but don't need to do any CHMOD on any files. The required files should be already writable.
