"Permission Denied"

I have a folder on Freeola webspace that I want to delete, simple task? not really as permission is denied! So I email Freeola and ask them if they can remove it?

Unfortunately we are unable to delete folders from users web space.


Kind Regards,

Help on the FTP recommend this course of action....

Files won't upload or you get a‘permission denied’ response from the server. Your permissions may need to be reset. Call your web hosting server administrator.

Anyone had this problem before?

Erm, there is such a thing. A very simple one is basically a guestbook. A form which validates and adds data to a file. Another page to display the file. That's a very simple example, and mine was slightly more advanced, but not much more so.

your too modest there is no such thing as simple in a forum especially if its written in php no matter if it had emoticon or not.

I wrote a very simple one once. It didn't support emoticons and usergroups and all that stuff - just simpleness.

Nope that just would not work no no no no no, mind you could do it for me for free! look on it as work experiance? or something like that he he it would take about three years to write all that kind of code!

Or ya could write your own forum in PHP that stores data in flat files and doesn't require .htaccess files ;) lol.

Looks fine to me, but after seeing you had some problems controlling a simple .htaccess file I think you should be prepared to do some 'reading up' to allow you to successfully configure YaBB or any other CGI application ;¬)

Ok anyone one on the Freeola staff can you tell me please if this would work on my free web space....

System requirements to install YaBB
A web hosting account
Perl 5 (or higher) installed on the server your web account is on
CGI.pm v2.4+ and Socket.pm modules installed on the server your web account is on
At least 1 MB of diskspace on your webspace account; over 3 MB recommended
Sendmail (for Linux/Unix) or SMTP (for Windows/NT or Linux/Unix); optional, but recommended

If you dont have MySQL access, try YaBB and ikonboard, seem to recall you can run both of those without an SQL DB.

I will work on it and perhaps with freeolas help we can over come the .htaccess thingy that some of the staff say they support? and others say thy dont? no wonder folk get confussed :-(

Most of them require a database of some form anyway. If they do need a .htaccess file, they can usually survive without, though it may require some tweaking.
