HI
I hope you can help me
I've just upgraded to 4 from 3.10 using my same directory and the FTP system
All went OK and I can check my diagnostics fine here
http://thebansheesandothercreatures.co.uk/forum/scripts/diagnose.cgi
But I can't use the admin tool and the board ther emust be something wrong with my dicus.conf because I'm getting extra /forum and /forum/scripts errors in the urls like
"The requested URL /forum/scripts/forum/scripts/discus.cgi was not found on this server."
I've tried everything I can think of in the .conf but I'm not getting anywhere - please help

thanks
james

>From your setup record, it appears that you chose "forum/scripts" as your script URL, which means "the forum/scripts directory under the directory I am in now." This breaks if you are in any directory other than the root directory of your site, or in other words, this breaks almost every time.

We recommend that you enter fully qualified URLs for your script_url and html_url parameters. In other words you should be using http://thebansheesandothercreatures.co.uk/forum/scripts as your script URL. You can make the fix in discus.conf.

If you have a really good reason not to be using the fully qualified domain name in your URL, you must at least change script_url to /forum/scripts so the path is interpreted relative to the root directory on the server (note: add slash to beginning of URL).

Thanks Kevin. I don't recall being offered a place to chose a script URL - maybe that was done by the original installer. Anyway thanks for the really quick reply it was just what I needed. You have been really helpful.
Great product!
