Thanks for all the replys.
Yes, (allow new user reg) is checked.
Yes, (cache directory is chmodded 777)
As far as mail settings, I set it for automatic account registration and get the (could not register new user) error.
I looked at the link "debianus" posted to see if I can read up on an answer. It was based on E-mail problems and I cant even get the person trying to Register to go thru with automatic registration/no approval needed.
Anyone else know a link or have a suggestion? Thanks
I tried to upgrade last night to "2.0.17" and followed the read me, but when I typed inmy web address
http://www.ratz.fatpipeshosting.com/xoops/modules/newbb/and added the "/upgrade/" after the adress 4 different ways:
Following .com, following /xoops, following /modules, and following //newbb. I get a error and the update does not come up. Here is what the read me says:
Upgrading from any XOOPS ranging from 2.0.7 to 2.0.13.2 (using the full package):
1. Move the "upgrade" folder inside the "htdocs" folder (it's been kept out as it's not needed for full installs)
2. Delete htdocs/mainfile.php, and htdocs/install
3. Upload the content of the htdocs folder over your existing files
4. Delete the following folders and files from your server (they belong to an old version):
* class/smarty/core
* class/smarty/plugins/resource.db.php
5. Empty the templates_c folder (except index.html)
6. Ensure the server can write to mainfile.php
7. Access
/upgrade/ using your browser, and follow the instructions
8. Write-protect mainfile.php again
9. Remove the upgrade folder after use
10. Update the "system" module from the modules administration interface
THANKS ALL for the input, when I find the fix I'll post what fixed it.
