I installed and uploaded the message board on my website. I had to chmod a few files and then I have the following error message:

Warning: fopen(msg/5.html): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/www/5dbed20c7fa4f385dc62253f4e693f1d/web/a-dress-for-diana-web/message_board/mboard.php on line 407

Error

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


Did I forget to do something ?

Sorry, I'm a beginner, I would appreciate any help.

Hi,

The way I see it there are three possible problems:

1. the "msg" folder in your mboard directory doesn't exist. Create it if it doesn't (CaSe SeNsiTiVe).

2. script doesn't have permission to write to "msg" folder. Chmod this folder to 777

3. if none of the above works maybe your host has disabled some required PHP functions, I've seen that before. Upload this file to your mboard folder and post a link to it here:
