Running my forum on Vbulletin 4.2.Just installed this mod.When I am saving settings,getting this error.

Quote:

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /forums/admincp/options.php on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Hope my problem will be solved.

This mod works perfect, thanks!
For me it works with ././backups/ path.

This would be particularly helpful if it had the option to email the resulting zip file to you.

It works fine that path manual! But have the problem is does not autobackup!? Is there an option that needs to be enabled to let this work or something on the server that need to be enabled?

Thanks

Give someone access to your server and ask them to check what you have done.
The error means the file(s) cannot be found, which indicates they are not where they should be. There isnt anymore I can tell you.

Okay, well I have set this aside for a while and just thought about it without messing with it, and so I went back to mess with it again today, and I noticed something. In the txt file you provided, it says upload the files to the server. What it doesn't say, is where. My problem is that it keeps saying it is in the wrong place, but what is the right place then?

I figured I should just add them into my host's backup folder and try that, but it won't let me because of the file permissions, and I don't wanna edit that because it may make the backups more vulnerable to being obtained or messed with by others.

So then I thought I should make a brand-new folder for Backups and upload that and then store the files in there, but then I came across another problem - what file permissions do I give it?

So, for starters, where exactly is the appropriate place to put the files? If I know that, then I can do the rest myself.

On many servers, it will need to be in the same path as the forum, i.e., /forum/backup

May I suggest you call it something else a bit more random though if you have to 777 the folder to get it to work.

^Good idea, I will definitely do that if I need to 777 it. Thanks for the advice!

I put the files into /public_html/vb/db and public_html/vb/db/mysql respectively, but it still doesn't work. Wouldn't /vb/db be the same as /forum/backup or am I missing something here?

What files did you put there? :confused:

You should not really be putting anything in the public_html folder for security
In your VB options

Backups Path:-
/home/yourname/backups/

create folder outside of your public_html IE backups and chmod to 777
