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.
