"Dunka" for the reply stasik! :)

Update:

Ok, so I go back and study the whole thing again. I found that I had made some errors, so I restored all the files modified as a result of the hack (backups are great!!), and started again, 1 step at a time.

What my problem is now, is that I cannot figure out (I got PHP manual, 2) if the path specified in index.lib.php3 of phpmychat is absoulte or relative.

In reading thru all the pages in this post and other related threads(mentioned above) I saw where you assisted *skull* using what appeared to be absolute path names. Was this because his chat directory was at the same level as his forum directory ? I noticed you had him change some other options, as well...

Why is this a question? Because it is failing trying to retrieve global.php on the require("./global.php") statement after the chdir("\usr\prod\") statement in my version of index.lib.php3.

Can you advise?

In my zeal to post a reply, I forgot the error response !

Fatal error: Failed opening required './global.php' (include_path='') in D:\????\????\phpchat\chat\lib\index.lib.php3 on line 91

I put the ???? in, as I don't publicize my directory structures.

The chat button on the home page links to \phpchat\chat\index.php3 as you had indicated in an earler post, and looking at chat_activity.php, also from an earlier reference in this thread.

you have to write ADSOLUTE path.... un your case with NT system it should be something like this d:\wwwroot\bitbender\forum\ just try to ask your hoster

Sir, I am the Web Hoster :) :) I build PC's, small networks, and work full time installing OS'es on mainframes througout US. The only help desk I have is me!!

Even at home, there is Domestic management to contend with !

thanks again for the reply! I'll keep at it!

I tried it w/o the D: designation, so let me go try wit it !!

i`ve done it all to ;)

I guess 15th time did the trick!!

Now functional. Sehr Gut!! <---- I hope I spelled this right!

Thanks again for your time, and patience!

You have to contend with domestic management, too ?? :p

lol
good that it works (sehr gut was spelled rught)

hm.... ISS server has mahy bugs.... :(

Ach so, but W2k Better than W98Se, or Linux, from my experience here.

I think I need to edit the config.php file. Insisting that user's register b4 entering chat room....arrr...not what I intended!!

Something else is still incorrect....Like a FIAT automobile,
FIAT = "Fix It Again, Tony!"

u have forgotten freeBSD.... it is much stabiler then win2k or XP....

have u used setup.php3?

I tried the hack and it worked great.

Now do you have a clue as to how to get the privae rooms working again?
