I have a problem with my boards

I actually was experiencing problems so I closed the boards down under misc settings and now I cant get it back up and ready to go.

It keep giving me this error?

Unable to open vars_misc.cgi file for writing. at c:inetpubwwwrootcgi-bin/cp_lib.cgi line 923.

For help, please send mail to this site's webmaster, giving this error message and the time and date of the error.

when i checked the file this is line 923

open (FILE, ">$vars_config{VariablesPath}/vars_misc.cgi") or die("Unable to open vars_misc.cgi file for writing.");

when I looked at it tried taking out the (or die("Unable to open vars_misc.cgi file for writing.") wink part but that just let me see everything was still closed and it didnt save it?

any help would be awesome

thanks

now I get this error when I try to reply to a post

Unable to open thread summary file at c:/inetpub/wwwroot/cgi-bin/ubb_lib_posting.cgi line 135.

and this error when i try to post a new topic

Unable to open lasttime.file : Permission denied at c:/inetpub/wwwroot/cgi-bin/ubb_new_topic.cgi line 353.

probably a chmod problem again but they are both 777 and I cleared the cache like ten times

What was the last hack you installed before all these errors came up?

Also check your permissions for the Permission denied error.

last hack was the chat program, but this has worked fine, I moved it from one ip to another so I had to change everything that was looking for that ip to another ip

the permissions I changed but I dont know exactly what to change them back to

all the files as of now are admin , system and everyone have full control

thanks for the help

Ok these are the permissions.

CGI files-755
Variable files-777
CGI directory-755
NONCGI directory-777

Check these are correct well I'd say check your CGI bin permissions...

You can't CHMod on an IIS server. You need to set the folder permissions on the directories.

Yep, you can run that test that you run when you first set the UBB up and that'll tell you exactly which permissions are wrong.

Well then you will need to enable write on the cgi-bin directory if they are inside that.

Not all of them should be. Some need to be 755.

here is what I am getting when trying to post a new topic

Can't open: Permission denied at c:/inetpub/wwwroot/cgi-bin/ubb_new_topic.cgi line 381.

this is what line 381 is

open (FILE, ">>$vars_config{MembersPath}/user_posts/$user_number.cgi") or die("Can't open: $!" );

both files are full permissions and NOT read only?
any ideas

when trying to post a reply this is what I get

Unable to open thread summary file at c:/inetpub/wwwroot/cgi-bin/ubb_lib_posting.cgi line 135.

line 135 says

open (FILE, ">$vars_config{NonCGIPath}/$exact_path/forum_$number.threads") or die("Unable to open thread summary file");

so it seems my permissions on vars_config is wrong? it is not read only and its full ocntrol what more do I need?


thanks

other than that we are perfect

thanks

You do know you have the chmod the files IN the directories don't you? Go to your NonCGI directory, forum folders, and chmod the cgi files to 777(?). Can't tell you a straight answer since my FTP is down though.

You need to make sure that the IUSR_xxxxx user has the ability to write into those directories. The permissions will propogate from the parent. You CANNOT chmod on an IIS server. IUSR is the "user" that IIS uses to perform operations on those files and folders, and it is the user that you need to be concerned with.
