I'm trying to install the Bulletin Board product, phpBB, on the srcc.com website. This is the same product as Sonic uses for this forum
I've installed it and the product works fine but the ACP (Administrative Control Panel) does not work. The ACP is written in php but its documentation says that it will not run in a cgi-bin directory. I've installed it in a path
/usr/local/lib/httpd/cgi-bin/srcc so (I assume) I need to make a new directory structure that does not include the cgi-bin node.
However, using Fireftp I've not been able to create a new directory above the cgi-bin node. It looks like a permissions problem, I've tried to modify them but no luck. My secondary goal it to place the product in a directory structure that will allow folk to access it by going to something short and snappy like "srcc.com/BB".
Clearly I don't know what I'm doing but if someone can help me with this and keep me from breaking something I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks, Gordon
