Do you know where you system folder is in relation to your subfolder?  You should be able to form a relative path to it.  If not, you can always use a full server path.

I have used the full server path since i don’t know the relation between the two folders. Found it from the DOCUMENT_ROOT in my php info and it says /var/www/vhosts/mysite.gr/httpdocs/

I put that plus /system in my path.php and I get the message: The system path does not appear to be set correctly. Please open your path.php file and correct the path. 😠

In the index.php file in your subdomain folder find this code at the bottom:

if ( ! @include($system_path.'core/core.system'.$ext))
{
    exit("The system path does not appear to be set correctly.  Please open your path.php file and correct the path.");    
}

And replace it with:

error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);

if ( ! include($system_path.'core/core.system'.$ext))
{
    exit("The system path does not appear to be set correctly.  Please open your path.php file and correct the path.");    
}

This will enable any errors to show; just cut and paste this new code in place of the old code.

These are the errors:

Heres my path.php file:

<?php

// ------------------------------------------------------

// ------------------------------------------------------
// Path to the directory containing your backend files

$system_path = "/var/www/vhosts/maclife.gr/httpdocs/system/";

// ------------------------------------------------------

$template_group = "";
$template = "";
$site_url = "http://forums.maclife.gr";
$site_index = "";
$site_404 = "";
$global_vars = array(); // This array must be associative

?>

That is as I suspected; your server is not setup to allow file inclusion between subdomains.  You might put a support ticket in with the host and see if they can allow this for you, by adding your other domain paths into the open_basedir allowed paths.  Once that’s squared away, you’ll be good to go!

Oh.. I got it Derek. I guess I will do that! Thank you for all the help…

By the way, do you know how I can stop forum members from editing their posts by themselfs?

Thanx again.

Sure: Look in your preferences for the forums you wish to not allow that, and uncheck the “Can Edit” box for the member group.

There is no such selection “Can Edit” in my forum permisions… :roll:

Say, well what do you know…  Sorry MSimos, my memory thought for sure that that was one of them.  Darned preferences!  Alas, it is not.  Users can always edit their own, moderators can edit anyone’s posts but Super Admins, and Super Admins can edit anybody’s.  You can remove the Edit button from your themes, but if users craft the URL manually, they would still be able to edit their own posts.

Thats kind of weird though isn’t it? I mean having users being able to edit their own posts could change the forums content infinetly…

I guess that should be added in a future version of ee forums. 😏

MSimos, if you make a feature request of that, I promise you we’ll look at it.

Thank you Derek, I will do just that! 😊
