Hi,

It's very possible that your server doesn't support PHP because it brings the same error no matter which PHP page you are trying to open, but all other pages work fine (for example readme file shows fine: http://ian.as/board/readme.htm ). Check with your host if your account has PHP enabled at all.

As for the CHMOD - you are probably on a Windows server, these don't support chmod commands. See the bottom of my tutorial:

The easiest solution would be to change to unix/linux (my preferred webserver anyway).

Another possibility is to get a free hosted public solution. I know they are around, but don't know their addresses. Downside of these are that they are mostly with adds and no guarantee they will be online forever (or free version is limited to a maximum number of posts).

Greetings,
Henrie

I use Linux servers too (Windows just for testing). I always say keep Windows on your PC and Linux on your server and you'll be a happy man...

One option would be to switch to UNIX like Henrie said. Alternatively you can check with your host if Windows accounts support any other language for example ASP and if yes find a message board script in ASP instead of PHP.

Now i have moved my mboard to a unnix/linux server (i think) http://skarv.info/mboard/mboard.php it worked and i started a new topic and saved it. then i got this message "Invalid access to memory location"
have tried to deleted all the files on the server and uploading them again but i still got the same message "Invalid access to memory location"
what's wrong NOW

Now i can get it to work on http://skarv.info/mboard/mboard.php but when i get to the Anti-SPAM check the Security number box is just white so i can't get any further

I still see nothing but errors on
http://skarv.info/mboard/mboard.php

You know what, do this:
1. open Notepad.

2. Paste this code inside:

Code: Select all

<?php
echo "Hello, this works!";
?>

3. save it as "test.php"

4. Upload to http://skarv.info/test.php

Let's see if PHP even works.
