	In point of fact, this entire thread has to do with the tmp folder not being created due to a misconfigured folder path in Paths.pm. We're going to have to change the instructions to make sure people understand those sections may have to be edited to match the real paths. Code 'prehtmldir' => q~HTML Root Directory:<br /><span style="font-size: 11px;">Base Path for all /html/css files and folders</span>~, 'prehtml_root' => q~HTML Root URL:<br /><span style="font-size: 11px;">Base URL for all /html/css files and folders</span>~, Should probably be Code 'prehtmldir' => q~HTML Root Directory:<br /><span style="font-size: 11px;">Base Path for all /html/css files and folders - edit to match the path on <b>your</b> server</span>~, 'prehtml_root' => q~HTML Root URL:<br /><span style="font-size: 11px;">Base URL for all /html/css files and folders - edit to match the url on <b>your</b> server</span>~,

	Everything right and nice, but in the past it has always done everything automatically. Why not anymore? That just does not want to be in my head. I've never had to change anything on the paths.

	Actually, what you were seeing before (as near as I can figure) was your browser remembering the previous values for a textbox with the same name. The problem there was that for a lot of people, the results of that previous value was either nonsense or nothing at all. On my test machine, Firefox kept insisting that the 'correct' path for the html folder was to a harddrive that no longer exists. When installing YaBB on a hosted site, I've always had to input the correct paths for the html folder since it either 'remembered' the wrong info or had nothing. Now, assuming the person doing the installing puts yabb2 into the cgi-bin and yabbfiles into public_html, the initial results in those text boxes should be valid for most installations since most servers use a pretty standard configuration and have the main cgi-bin sitting inside the public_html folder. (Very few YaBB installs I've done troubleshooting for have not had this server configuration.) So basically, you were lucky in that the 'remembered' values were the right ones. You are one of the few for which that was true.

	So I used to install many YaBB forums on different servers. I never had problems with the paths. I have an idea, if the server admits.

	Okay, I was checking the old code for how Setup.pl found the 'correct' folder for the htmldir and html_url - Setup looked in the 'obvious' place for it, and if it didn't find it, started searching other folders for yabbfiles. BUT it used the found path value for the url as well. Which means, whether we use the old 'search for it' or the current 'assume it's sitting next to the cgi-bin', you will end up editing either the htmldir path (new version) or the html_url path (old version) - because those paths are apparently different in your current install. (Of course, this still doesn't answer why, on my machine, Setup.pl was finding stuff that didn't exist.) Edited: You're lucky. I've always had path problems unless yabbfiles was uploaded in the same folder as held the cgi-bin folder. Hmm, maybe a combo of the old and new - start with the 'next to the cgi-bin' and then search for it.

	Just uploaded a new Setup.pl to the SVN - this one combines both the 'new yabbfile finder' with the old 'lets search for yabbfiles somewhere on the harddrive'. I suspect it's going to have the url to your yabbfiles wrong but it would have done that before anyway.

	Very good, but still a little wrong. In the Base URL "httpdocs" is not allowed, otherwise the path to the * .css is not found and no graphic is shown. Why? No idea. See my previous posts.

	What I was trying to explain - according to the actual code in the old Setup.pl Setup.pl looked through the folders to find exactly what folder yabbfiles was in. It already knew the 'server url' from where Setup.pl was and just tacked the path to yabbfiles onto the server url. Code /var/www/vhosts/yabbtest.de corresponds with Code http://yabbtest.de so logically Code /var/www/vhosts/yabbtest.de/cgi-bin corresponds with Code http://yabbtest.de/cgi-bin (and does). So logically Code /var/www/vhosts/yabbtest.de/httpdocs/yabbfiles should correspond with Code http://yabbtest.de/httpdocs/yabbfiles but doesn't because on this particular server Code /var/www/vhosts/yabbtest.de/httpdocs/yabbfiles corresponds with Code http://yabbtest.de/yabbfiles No automated script is going to be able to figure that out because the script has no way of knowing that the server is renaming or disguising the real location of yabbfiles when yabbfiles is called via url. I mean, Setup.pl found yabbfiles at Code /var/www/vhosts/yabbtest.de/httpdocs/yabbfiles It has no way of detecting that the server thinks the logical url should be something else. BTW - the only time I've seen path discrepancies like that is on sites using mod rewrite to create SEO friendly urls. So I'm betting there's an .htaccess file in there disguising the httpdocs folder. Edited: I'm not discounting that you've not had this problem before. But the problem exists on THAT server/hosting service. So even if you used an original Setup.pl, the problem would still persist on that server.

	And I can only say I have never had to change the paths before and I have many YaBB forums installed on the most diverse servers. For me, it is not a problem to change the paths, but think of the many others who do not have this experience. They are stupid, delete YaBB and then never use it again or it comes to many questions in the YaBB forum. Edited: I think, but it does not know exactly, at build 1903 it still worked. I still have this on the computer. Will install it today and then make a screener of the paths.

	@Rucola This problem was solved in October and was due to a non-typical server configuration.

	and neither I thought of it and you wrote to me when I had a mistake, but I looked at the admin panel. I actually had a non-correct domain after fixing it all worked
