I have a customer that needs his XOOPS bulletin board moved over to one of my servers. I have all the data moved, but it won't work properly for some reason.

I am tired of wasting my time working on this problem, so I am here, at the XOOPS forum asking someone for help and I will be happy to pay them (providing the job is completed of course).

Please contact me via email at support@webprosinc.net with your hourly rate and how long you feel it will take to connect the database to the XOOPS program.

I will pay whoever does this via Pay Pal so please have an account already set up.

Thanks to anyone who has some spare time.

Hi,

First thing to do is make sure that the /cache, /templates_c and /uploads folders are CHMODed to "777", i.e. writeable.

Secondly, and this is probably the main cause, you need to make sure that mainfile.php has:

1. the correct definitions for the XOOPS_ROOT_PATH & XOOPS_URL (& XOOPS_TRUST_PATH if you are using the Protector 3 module).

The ROOT_PATH will be the physical path on the server to your customer's webspace and the XOOPS_URL will be "virtual". (The TRUST_PATH will be physical, too).

2. the database name and database password correct.

Don't forget to CHMOD mainfile.php back to "444" once you've edited it.

I see for the link that you gave that your client uses newbb/CBB. What other modules are in use other than the basic XOOPS system and the bulletin board? This will help us to help you.

Hope this helps, and good luck.

Noting your "xops" for the subdirectory, I would take a look at maybe a typo ... the program being xoops. That is with two oo 's

If you still need assistance, send me a PM and I'd be happy to help.
