it does not get anywahere, it gave me a blank screen again, so I added that error code stuff to it and got this:

<br>
<b>Warning</b>: Undefined index: HTTP_POST_VARS in <b>/usr/home/wocsnet/public_html/global.php</b> on line <b>85</b><br>
<br>
<b>Warning</b>: Undefined index: action in <b>/usr/home/wocsnet/public_html/global.php</b> on line <b>85</b><br>
<br>
<b>Warning</b>: Undefined index: action in <b>/usr/home/wocsnet/public_html/global.php</b> on line <b>88</b><br>

Would you like me to add a dir listing of my forums directory to help?

I'll modify the NNTP class so that it doesn't require pear. That could be the problem.

just did a refresh again and this code again:

<br>
<b>Warning</b>: Undefined index: HTTP_POST_VARS in <b>/usr/home/wocsnet/public_html/global.php</b> on line <b>85</b><br>
<br>

I am sorry for spamming this, but I would really really love to get this working in some manner, and I am greatful for the help and assistance you are providing

here is a jpg showing my root folder where my forums are located. its all there right ?

Try the attached nntp.php which does not require PEAR.

both don't work for me :( Just a blank page...

Erm... does the script use UDP? I think this is disabled at my providers firewall...

well
I get no feed back from the script, nothing at all, bar the white screen, but the progress bar is at the 50% mark and suck there.

Could it be that there is a problem with the server or perl on the server? if so what perl mods are needed so I can ask my host support ?

but if you would, can you run the gateway.php from my site:

www.wocs.net/gateway.php

and see what happens, I have to go to dinner right now so I shall be back on in 20 minutes ok? if you could try that link for me and see what happens I'd be greatful.

This script does not use perl, so there is no messing around with that sort of thing.

Do you know what version of php you are using?

Does it? If yes, then I don't have to test any more...
