I'm such a beginner it's not even funny.  I know just enough to get myself into trouble.  Can anyone help me with this problem?  Below is is the screen I get when I try to access my forum.  Any help is much appreciated.  Thanks

Ben

How are you uploading your files? I had my ftp program set to force everthing to lower case and had a similar error. The servers are case sensitive so its a big deal however trivial it might sound.

Also look here

I upload my files with Front Page.  I tried to look at your link but it doesn't appear to be in english which is the only language I know.  This is a better explanation of my problem though.

I was trying to change the default template on my phpBB2 powered forum and in doing so I accidently changed the template to the option _vti_cnf.  I can't acess my forum at all now. All I can get is this screen:

Is that template config file supposed to have its permission set a certain way? If it is, did you remember to change the permissions when you uploaded it.

By the looks of the error message, I am deducing that it can't open the file because of the permission not being set correctly.  Confused

Okay, bjett, I just found this thread. This may be the answer for you (scroll down to GMTurner's post and read from there on):

Do you know what the permission should be set to?  Right now the permissions are set to 7 5 5

Actually, read my next post below that one. I think that may be your solution and not the permissions.

Let us know if that worked for you, for anybody else in the future having the same problem.

Awesome, I didn't think about googling it.  I tried that link and a few others.  I must be an idiot or something.  I'm not getting anywhere.  It seems like other people have been able to solve this problem but I seem to be stuck. Sad
