SMF forum won't work on CCGI

[#1]

SMF Forum Script won't. 

[#2]

Gary, What makes you think that? I've just checked on the SMF website and it says the minimum requirements are PHP 4.1.0 or higher.
I have SMF forums running on ccgi.

That looks like it either can't find the stylesheet or the stylesheet isn't formatted properly. Are you sure it has been uploaded to the path http://ccgi.dyslexia.force9.co.uk/cgi-bin/forum/Themes/classic/style.css and/or has suitable permissions applied? Just a thought.

Is installing inside cgi-bin a good idea?
Moderators can you split the last few posts out to a separate topic please as this is nothing to do with php5 as SMF 1.1.4 runs perfectly well under php4 on ccgi.

The forum must NOT be put in cgi-bin. It should be in a folder off your root directory.

[#7]

Yeah, although the PHP etc. will work within the cgi-bin, acess to anything else (like CSS and images) won't so the solution is as Peter said.

[#8]

As a complete novice, I can vouch for the fact that css does not work if the forum is uploaded to the cgi-bin folder. Everything else worked for me. I am using Vanilla 1.1.4
Now I have a different problem. After having trouble clearing the cgi-bin folder I had the webspace cleared and reset by Plusnet and ftp'd the website and forum folder back on but in the root directory. Now the webpages are accessible but I can't navigate to the forum folder to run the php install script.
All permissions set via chmod 755
Anybody any ideas?

It appears the permissions on Forum/setup/index.php are no set correctly.
Note: you have used a capital F in forum which is not something I would recommend. The CCGI server uses *nix (Apache) and all filenames are case sensitive, unlike WIndows where Forum and forum are the same..
You need to login to the ccgi shell and run fixphpperms.sh -r to correctly set the file permissions on all php files. Then you can run the setup.

Thank you Peter,
Changing the F to f has sorted the access problem but excuse my ignorance how do I login to the ccgi shell? Sorry!
