Can't locate global data file

Subject: Can't locate global data file

I think I missed a tep but I am unable to see my mistake. When I visit the masterboard I setup, the following error appears: "notice: Sorry, I can't find the global data file."

In response to: Can't locate global data file

Jonathan, probably your "MBdata" subdirectory doesn't exist, is misspelled (Unix/Linux is case sensitive), or has incorrect permissions.

Different servers require different permissions. Try 766 first, then 755, then 777 -- that is the order of preference.

Once MBdata has the correct permissions, use the MBcp.cgi script, the control panel, and specify the settings it asks for. When you do that, the script will write a file named GlobalData.txt in your MBdata directory.

After that, your board should be able to find that global data file.
