Hi fdeconiac,

erm i don't think the warning is related with your problem ..try turn debug on from phpmyadmin

just for info for everyone...can anyone correct me if i'm wrong...from what i understand

xoopsdata and XOOPS lib should be outside doc root for more protection example in local server

your XOOPS site is in
Quote:

c:/xampp/htdocs/255alpha


the xoopslib and xoopsdata should be in
Quote:

c:/xampp/xoops_lib/
c:/xampp/xoops_data/


in real server

example your XOOPS site
is in
Quote:

xxxxx/public_html/


the xoopslib and xoopsdata should be in
Quote:

xxxxx/xoops_lib/
xxxxx/xoops_data/


renaming the two folder would also be a good option which i always do in my XOOPS site

something like mysite_lib and mysite_data

i don't get any warning in admin panel..so this must be correct right ?

WARNING: Folder /mnt/165/sdb/b/f/mysite/secure/xoops_lib is inside DocumentRoot! For security considerations it is highly suggested to move it out of DocumentRoot.

WARNING: Folder /mnt/165/sdb/b/f/mysite/secure/xoops_data is inside DocumentRoot! For security considerations it is highly suggested to move it out of DocumentRoot.

EDIT : System module in XOOPS 2.5 need PHP 5.2 !

Yeah it is fixed (works perfect). I guess sometimes it is good to have a fresh set of eyes look at something. THANKS......and it was the theme doing it.....in the Xonerol themes here is the tidbit of code that caused the whole issue - all I needed to do was rem out. (yeah - such a nice simple fix) (dir/file - xotpl/xometas.html) <{if $url}> <meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="<{$time}>; url=<{$url}>" /> <{/if}> <!-- Force MSIE without javascript actived to take the default theme. not conforms to the standards but functional --> <{if $isMsie}> <noscript> <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=<{xoAppUrl . xoops_theme_select=default}>" /> </noscript> <{/if}> THANKS AGAIN!!!
