Please ask this question to David Wulff, the person who develops and maintains the bttlxe forums. You can contact him at http://forums.bttlxe.com[^]. But I can tell you that you need to maintain the same directory structure as in the installation. Copying just the index.asp won't work. The forum needs a lot of other files to work, and they are all placed in their own directories. You need to copy the whole directory to your webserver, and then follow the instructions in the readme. HTH. For more help, please contact David. :) Regards, Rohit Sinha Browsy

Thank you for your reply, yes I did upload all the files to my server, and kept them in their respective directories, But for my navigation with frontpage I add an instance of the index.asp to the navigation page. So that is the page people can navigate to. It should use the included files, and those files should use their included files and so forth...the forum should work as planned but, I must have done something wrong because the index.asp has no formatting or links when navigated too...?????? (I did edit the include/config.asp per the instructions). {RSHA}SSD2 Adolf Eichmann[CP]

I went to your site, and found a link to the RSHA Forums at the bottom of the home page. Is this the link you are talking about? When I clicked on the link, I was served a "Not Found" page. Maybe you need to correct the link. You also need to make sure the database tables have been created properly, and that you have the required permissions in the /include/config directory inside the forum heirarchy, and that parent paths are enabled. Also, it seems you are running your site on the the Apache web server. The bttlxe forum software can run only on the IIS Server. For the Apache web server you need to use a different forum software.
