[quote title=WilliamBurns wrote on Fri, 28 March 2008 15:22]Well, I have checked and rechecked the GLOBALS.php file and the symlinks, which both say:
lrwxr-xr-x  1 rpivps  www       40 Mar 15 01:07 GLOBALS.php -> /usr/local/forumdata/include/GLOBALS.php
I CD'd to the respective folders and edited the GLOBALS.php file and in both cases found the content identical to the actual GLOBALS.php file at the above path.
I notice that clicking on one of the little placeholder icons generates an error (displayed in the footer or status bar), as does each of the placeholders for smileys, and as does the show all smileys link.
Except for participants not being able to insert these icons and smileys, the site seems to be running strong, including the accurate display of at least one smiley with sunglasses (which has been there for a long time) on my forum home page.
I hope you can give me a tip or two. I can't imagine the site working so well with a basic GLOBALS.php error, and yet, some sort of path error seems to make sense. Is there a chance that yet another permission issue may be involved? I did change all the file ownership to my userid. Thanks![/quote]

Have you tried rebuilding the theme via the theme manager?

I have rebuilt the theme using the theme manager many times now, and the result seems the same every time: no icons/smileys.

But... I just got it! With some guesswork help from my ISP tech support. The clue came with a whole slew of messages like this:
[Mon Mar 31 16:28:18 2008] [error] [client 198.65.168.24] (13)Permission
denied: file permissions deny server access:
rpinet.com/wforum/images/smiley_icons/icon_redface.gif,
referer:
http://www.rpinet.com/wforum/index.php?t=post&reply_to=22742&rid=47 8&S=49d82ee55f564e6d1c9f46cd8d9e178e

I went into this directory:
rpinet.com/wforum/images/smiley_icons
All the image files were at 600 permission. I ran this command chmod 755 *

Then, I went into this directory:
rpinet.com/wforum/images/message_icons
All the image files were at 600 permission. I ran this command chmod 755 *

The icons and smileys now show up like they are supposed to.
How the permissions suddenly got set so restricted remains a mystery to me, but the board is up and running. Thanks again for all your help.

hello,

I need to move my FUDforum (2.7.6) installation to a new ISP and encounter some of the problems you described... and solved ... and others too. Rolling Eyes

So given the fact you succeded the migration could I ask you to provide a little step by step explanation for all the poor souls out there (like me Wink

) how to achieve this victory ?

I would really appreciate any help!

Many thanks in advance!
