I've been trying to design a guestbook or forum and have downloaded a few scripts but can't get any to work probably due to my confusion over $boardurl, $boarddir etc for freeola. For instance, can anyone let me know how to set these two variables.....
$boardurl = URL to your forum's containing folder (without trailing "/"), where YaBB.pl is located. This would be http://www.mysite.com/cgi-bin/yabb
$boarddir = Absolute path to your forum's containing folder (usually can be left as ".")
I'm currently looking at installing the YaBB script, if anyone has successfully installed it can they offer any advise as the following still baffles me
Thanks
