I have everything installed, but I keep getting some errors...

 

Warning: file(home/.../public_html/shoutbox/shouts.txt): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/.../public_html/shoutbox/shoutbox_csv.php on line 52

 

Warning: file(home/.../public_html/shoutbox/shouts.txt): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/.../public_html/shoutbox/shoutbox_csv.php on line 34

 

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/.../public_html/shoutbox/shoutbox_csv.php:52) in /home/.../public_html/shoutbox/shoutbox.php on line 130

create a file called shouts.txt in your shoutbox directory. you may need to change permissions for the shouts.txt file to 777.

A link to the original script might help.

No I mean the original script, the site where you got the script.

I can try to install it Saturday if I get the chance.

If you want to use the CSV version, open shoutbox_csv.php. Line 9 is where you set the the location of shouts.txt. For some reason, even though the file lives in the same directory as the script, they felt the need to define the full path (although I should note that it works for me with the full path). If you just change it to:

>$shoutfile = "shouts.txt";

you should be fine. Haven't looked at the MySQL one yet.

I was looking at your site and the answer finally reached out and slapped me in the face. Despite my feeling that "shouts.txt" works just fine, they insist on putting the full path to the file in the variable. Both work for me. You have neither.

 

You have:

>/public_html/shoutbox/shouts.txt

rather than:

>/home/username/public_html/shoutbox/shouts.txt

Sure enough, if I take out the /home/username I can make mine look like yours.
