I don't think "check your access rights" is the same as saying "set all your file permissions to allow yourself to be hacked". In general, vb files should all be 644 and directories 755.

I missed the part where you explained what error(s) you're getting, and where you gave us a link and test login (if required) to look at things. Have you already simply asked your tech people (your host's tech support?)? It's very common for them to set security in such a way that you can't run your own files. When that happens they can set exceptions. If you ask them nicely.

No not the host's support, we have a dedicated server security admin as SEO forums attract a certain 'type' of web user. As soon as I put it in his hands, he had it running in under 5 minutes. The problem was unique to our server's configuration.

So that just goes to show you that I shouldn't handle these things...

But none the less, I wanted to apologize to anyone that may have been offended or misunderstood my previous posts. Sometimes I type things that end up sounding a lot different than how I meant them, so... I totally take the blame there.

Again, apologies.
