Hi,
i wanted to upgrade to the newest version but right at the beginning there is a problem. The upgrade looks for the GLOBALS.PHP file. It is there but has a lenght of 0 bytes.
What is going on ??
Thanks in advance. E. Traas

GLOBALS.php is a REQUIRED file, which contains most of the forum's settings. If it is blank your forum WILL not work.
Did the file become blank after the upgrade process?

The file permissions are A OK.
The reason you cannot copy files into that folder is because the webserver owns the directory. You need to chmod the directory 777 if you want to copy files into it.

Is this problem related to how my hosting service is organising things ?
The upgrade program is one step futher, it now complains with the UPDATE_STATUS needs to be avialable for writing. Now it has -rw-r--r-- attributes, it is not possible for me to change this. I will ask my hosting service to do this.
What files need to be accessed in this manner ??

You can chmod the file yourself by running:
chmod 666 file_name via the shell or using your FTP client.
