path to db.cgi in admin
Hi,

I couldn't find anything in search so I ask it here. All scripts except gforum reside in

myserver/cgi-bin/gforum/admin

but show like

http://myserver/...ch_results;user_id=1

and do not work. What am I missing ?

The path has been set correctly.

Well you are missing /cgi-bin/gforum/admin in the URL to begin with.

I know, and I would add it manually, but I have the admin dir password protected. Should I freeforall this dir and only protect the subdirs ?

And when changing the path to the scripts location, I get no userdata in gforum style, like the profile of a user, but in sql database format.

I guess I would need to use gforum to call a users profile ?

I don't really understand what you mean? db.cgi should be inside your admin directory, which should be password protected.

Right. And when calling this db.cgi, it asks for the password. But this should not be for a function available to all users.

So what I have done is implementing some functions from the statistic into the main page.

http://62.141.61.212/cgi-bin/gforum.cgi

When clicking on a username, I get an error. Check it out. How can I call the profile function of gforum without that db.cgi but with gforum.cgi ?

Ok, I just figured out to use gforum.cgi for the profile.. works now, thanks anyway.

The path is probably okay, but it sounds like the admin URL is not set up properly. Is it still happening?

I changed the whole thing to use gforum.cgi

http://myserver/...=<%user_username%>

That works like I wanted it. Just wanted to link to the users profile when listing teh top posts, newest users and top posters.
