Message not posting!

[AliW]

I have got a messageboard up on my website but when I post a message it isn't saving it. Messages should be saved in the message.dat file but they aren't being saved there and I'm not getting an error message.

The board can be seen at: http://www.treehouse3.co.uk/msgboard

Could anyone give me any idea what the problem might be as I'm not getting any error messages - it just isn't saving.

I have checked that the path to message.dat is correct.

Assuming your path to messages.dat is correct, whether relative or absolute, make sure you chmod all .dat files to 777 (world-readable).

The file is world readable. I think the path is correct too - but the first half is saved in one file and the second half is saved in another.

Is there a way to check what the full path is?

[CyCo]

in msgboard.setup

$DATA_DIR = "/your/absolute/path/to/msgboard";

this path must be correct

I can send you a script that will identify your exact path if you don't know what it is.

Please could you send me the script.
