Thanks for that. I read the other post and it was informative.

I thought that the file was just a 'red herring' in a way and the problem lies elsewhere. I have stopped the cache being writable now so the file can't be regenerated. The cache isn't being used much and only a few files are in there at times so I think I will leave things alone for now until I get used to Xoops and learn more about the modules. Obviously a module is the problem and I think it is the system one. For now though the site is working ok.

I will check my profile module as you mentioned now.

To be honest I think I better setup a test site - complete clone - and do the testing on there as this site is active now.

Made this new site yesterday and then tidied it up today css and styling wise. Running off my home server. Will be used to show mine and other site users photos (my new hobby).

Still have to play around with the settings to make sure I am totally familiar with them but the site seems to run fine.

Very white at the moment but I will probably keep it so. The simpler the better I find.

Hi

If I allow the Xoops Cache to be writable - 777 - then it enters a file:

xoops_system_modules_active_http%3A%2F%2Fmark-friends-photos_co_uk

with this content:

1342702715
return array (
0 => 'system',
1 => 'pm',
2 => 'profile',
3 => 'xcgal',
4 => 'newbb',
5 => 'contact',
6 => 'protector',
);

With this file residing in Xoops Cache I get:

'Sorry, you don't have the permission to access this area.'

whenever I attempt to register.

If I remove this file and make the Xoops Cache read only then the registration process runs fine. Is there anything in the file content that is causing this?

I have moved my Xoops installation from a directory to the root of my domain so maybe there is a path issue somewhere though I have checked mainfile.php and so on, and also checked the database. Maybe I have missed something?
