GM everyone.<br />I just installed SMF via my C-Panel. I can't get to the admin area.<br />I type in <!--coloro:blue--><span style="color:blue"><!--/coloro-->--- link deleted ---<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--> and it brings me to an error page. Any help?<br />Thanks,<br />Lee<br /><br /><br /><!--sizeo:1--><span style="font-size:8pt;line-height:100%"><!--/sizeo--><!--coloro:blue--><span style="color:blue"><!--/coloro-->EDIT: TCH-Bruce - removed link to prevent possible threat.<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--><!--sizec--></span><!--/sizec--><!--content-->
It looks as if you tried creating it in a directory "Discussion Board" rather than discussionboard - remember that the names are case sensitive, and it's best not to include spaces.<!--content-->

Its also best not to use uppercase.<br />This is for folder and file names<br />You can use underscore or hyphen between words if you like.<!--content-->
Dunno I always use uppercase for my directories such as Forums, Lazarus and so on.<!--content-->
There is no issue using upper or lower case on the servers. You just have to address you links accordingly. Not like a Windows/DOS world where case doesn't matter.<!--content-->
