Unlocking files cause Server Error [message #34482]

I have just installed FUDF and everything looked good. I went ahead trying to install a Newsgroup.
In order to do so, I unlocked the files (through the admin panel). After I clicked somewhere else, I got a 500 internal server error.

Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@******.net and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

I would highly appreciate your help.

Thanks

Andre

I guess its a security configuration of my webhost.
Seing that unlocking files sets all directories and files to be writeable for everyone, it makes sense.
So I am wondering what files exactly need to be unlocked to get this newsgroup feature going.

You need to make sure that all files inside the messages/ directory can be written by user script runs on a command line and make sure that all files inside the include/ directory (and all of its sub-directories) are readable by that same user.

Thanks for the reply.
I tried to run the nntp.php script but I am getting this:

Warning: mysql_connect(): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) in /dataroot/include/theme/default/db.inc on line 17

Warning: mysql_error(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /dataroot/include/theme/default/db.inc on line 17

) :

Any idea?

The error is that PHP is failing to connect to mysql via the specified unix domain socket. You can try changing the mysql host to "localhost" or find out where the actual mysql unixdomain socket is located at.

Thanks.
Actually it was set to localhost already and the forum itself seems to work without a hitch. I installed it in a subdomain instead of a subfolder, but I dont think thats the issue.
What else can I try?
Could it be that the script doesn't use the same db settings as the forum?

It uses the exact same settings as it fetches them from GLOBALS.php as does the main forum. The value of localhost is generally translated by PHP into the unix domain socket, perhaps the default socket value set for CLI is invalid. You can try specifying 127.0.0.1 as a host...

EDIT:

127.0.0.1 finally works. Thanks again. localhost somehow didn't work.
