Change your forum's URL to http://www.groove2soul.com/forum/ or stop using frames.

Thanks so much for the quick feedback
how do I change the URL ?  or stop using frames ..what would you recommend  and how do I do it
Thanks again

What is repair_settings.php?

Personally, I despise frames.  Not only can they cause cookie problems, but personally I think they look horrible.  But that's just my opinion.

Integrating the forum into your site...

I tried the repair settings and the URL address was correct www.groove2soul.com/forum
so it didn't fix the problem unless I change it to www.groove2soul.com ?
Also the forum is under 2 addresses under www.groove2soul.com through the web site link (and where the logins don't auto work) and www.groove2soul.com/forum (at this address the forum logins work ) but its not linked to the rest of the site ?
Not sure where to go from here
Thanks

No, the URL is:

http://groove2soul.com/forum

This is causing your problems.  You need to change it to:

http://www.groove2soul.com/forum

Those two URLs are different.

Settings.php cannot be written to by your webserver. Please modify the permissions on this file to allow write access

Hi well thought I would be smart ..I loaded my SMF through fantastico  that were the problem statrted it only allows to to put the URL as groove2soul.com..
so got rid of my forum through my file manager..
so I  download the new version of SMF though SMF downloads  on to my hard drive  then uploaded all files and folders through my file manager ran the unstall program when I finished the program  it tells me I cant install because a similar user already there ? so didn't do too well   ..what to do ? any adivise .. also wondering why when using Fantastico it forces you to use the wrong URL is there a waty around that ?

I'm afraid that's more of a question for Fantastico's support forum.  I didn't write their installer, nor did anyone else on this team.
