    Small Question About Boards/Admins URL

    For some reason I have to add index.php to get my forums, and my CP to come up... Otherwise I get an IE Error Message.

    Is it a CHMOD Problem... I'm on a Unix Server?

    Small Problem but has me stumped. I did try to find a thread on the problem, but the closest answer I got was to Re-Up Load Both index.php files and ,ake sure it's in ASCII Mode, which I did.

    Thanks

    It could be file permissions. What are the permissions set to now? They should at least be world-readable (644).

      Both Folders, "Forums" and The "Admin" Folder are set to 755.
      Index.php is set to 644

      I don't know If it makes a difference, but I Used the BetaUBB6.2 Importer that James Ussher-Smith sent, to import from my old Board.

        You need to set your server up so that is parses index.php as a default file.

        If you are on a shared server ask your host how to do this. If you are on a dedicated server change your directoryindex directive to:
        <IfModule mod_dir.c>
        DirectoryIndex index.html index.php default.php
        </IfModule>

        You can also probably add the following to an .htaccess file as well:
        DirectoryIndex index.html index.php default.php

        If you are using IIS you need to consult the help in your online control panel for instructions on how to do this.
