What terms did you try when SEARCHING for a solution:
I looked at all 6 pages, and search for 404 and redirect.

Write your message below:

Every time I try to read a newly posted posting, instead of opening the msg php file it takes me to my sites 404 page, which is an sent to another one of my pages. I followed directions to the T and dont understand whats happening.

If you look at the message board page, and hover over one of the links, you will see it states short cut to 0.php instead of 0.HTM(L).

Look at setting – line 53 which in the original read $settings['extension']='html'; and check if you have put in PHP instead of HTM(L) , if so change it to the suffix used on your site (HTM or HTML).

Hope this helps you. NB. You may only have one usable HTM(L) page in your message folder as they all show as 0.php, if so, you will need to alter or reset your threads.txt document, or upload the originals.

Thank you for your response, but in settings I requested the extension to be php. So that part does match. I will re-upload the the thread and count txt files again.

Your ID isn't increasing. Are you sure your count.txt file is writable by the script (chmod to 666)? How about the msg folder? Does it exist and is it writable (chmod to 777)?

Yes it exists and chmod of 666 done to count txt, and 777 to msg folder. I am noticing that once a file is created it doesnt add any extension. Not sure what the problem is,

Thanx

Not sure what to say, if the settings are right it's some sort of server-side problem. If you want can give me FTP access to your mboard folder (just mboard folder, not the entire website) I can have a look and see if I can get any ideas. You can send the info in a private message, but be patient as I may not be able to give it a go before weekend.
