What was done before the problem appeared?
nothing


What was done to try to solve the problem?
set CHMOD to 666 for "viewtopic.php", "admin_forums.php", and "admin_forums_extend.php"



De.scription and Message

When I go to make a new forum and/or category they do not show up anywhere except in my database when I look at them in phpMyAdmin. Even then, only forums show up and not categories.

Am I missing something or need to CHMOD some other files?

Thanks in advance.

*update*

Ok, i realize that forums and categories have their own DB. So everything that add to Forum Admin does show up in the DB, just not on the site anywhere.

Updated title to be more understandable.

Surely someone knows why this is happening?!

Hey there,

Here is the full CHMOD list.

Code: Select all
 777     album_mod/upload777      album_mod/upload/cache777      album_mod/upload/med_cache777      album_mod/upload/wm_cache777      backup777      cache777      cgi-bin/tmp/777      files777      files/thumbs777      images/avatars777      images/photos777      images/smiles777      includes/cache_tpls666      cgi-bin/nuffload.cgi666      ctracker/logfiles/logfile_attempt_counter.txt666      ctracker/logfiles/logfile_blocklist.txt666      ctracker/logfiles/logfile_debug_mode.txt666      ctracker/logfiles/logfile_malformed_logins.txt666      ctracker/logfiles/logfile_spammer.txt666      ctracker/logfiles/logfile_worms.txt666      includes/def_auth.php666      includes/def_icons.php666      includes/def_qbar.php666      includes/def_themes.php666      includes/def_tree.php666      includes/def_words.php666      includes/phpbb_security.php666      language/lang_xxxxxx/lang_contact_faq.php666      language/lang_xxxxxx/lang_extend_xxxxxx.php666      language/lang_xxxxxx/lang_faq.php666      language/lang_xxxxxx/lang_faq_attach.php666      language/lang_xxxxxx/lang_prillian_faq.php777      modules777      modules/cache777      modules/cache/explain777      pafiledb/cache666      pafiledb/cache/data_global.php777      pafiledb/cache/templates777      pafiledb/cache/templates/XXXXXX777      pafiledb/cache/templates/XXXXXX/admin777      pafiledb/images/screenshots777      pafiledb/uploads666      profilcp/functions_profile.php777      profilcp/def666      profilcp/def/def_userxxxxxx.php666      templates/xxxxxx/sub_templates.cfg777      var_cache666      config.php


It's probably the includes/def_tree.php file not being CHMOD'd to 666, but if it's not CHMOD'd correctly then it's possible other file or directories are not either. Therefore, I'd go over all of them.

Thank you Teelk, it was the includes/def_tree.php

*TIP*
Don't use the FTP plugin for firefox to CHMOD <img>

It acts funny and apparently doesn't CHMOD correctly all the time.
