Issue: When clicking on Search, Administration, or any of the other utilities in the Discus user interface, it brings up the Discus interactive setup form rather than the desired script.

Solution: When you filled out the FTP setup form and specified the script URL, the script URL itself had "ftpdiag.cgi" within it. For example, you set your script URL to be http://your.server.com/cgi-bin/ftpdiag.cgi/discus. Since ftpdiag.cgi is a file and not a directory, that file is executed when the above URL is used.

Discus 4.0+

You can edit your discus.conf file, fixing the script_url setting. You may also need to edit the index.html file in your HTML directory, which contains a META redirect to the discus.cgi script.

Discus 3.10 and below

You must reinstall Discus, using a correct setting for your script_url.

The only cases where we've seen ftpdiag.cgi suggest an inaccurate script URL have been when you titled the ftpdiag.cgi script something other than ftpdiag.cgi, or when your server inserts text into the URL automatically (e.g., one server put "?reload=yes" at the end of all URLs).
