An error message in the logs

[Liviu Lalescu]

Hello,

I got this message:

/home3/lalescu/public_html/liviu/fet/forum/exports is not writable. Retrying at /home/lalescu/public_html/liviu/fet/forum/exports

The thing is that I was hosted on /home3/lalescu until a month ago, and then in /home/lalescu. How (where) I can correct this link?

Try to chmodd the exports folder and see if the error will go away.

When you switched from home3 to just home, did you run repair_settings.php and make sure everything got switched over? If it's still trying to write to the home3 folder, it will show as unwritable, since the files are not there anymore. Also, after the move, the folders/files may not have kept their chmod settings, so it's best to do like Doug said and make sure of the correct chmod settings.

Indeed, the exports folder had no r-x for others, so I added these permissions. Thank you!

The repair_settings.php shows home3 only for YaBB classic theme, so this was not the problem. Settings_bak.php contains home3, so this is maybe where the forum searched for since exports directory was not permitted. I think changing the permissions will solve the problem.

Thank you!

You are welcome. Glad to see that the issue has been solved.
