I think I'm having the same kind of problem. Everyone says the absolute path should be ...blah/forums. Except when I installed smf it never installed a folder or path named forums so it says it is incorrect. How did you fix it?
Thanks
Hi,
I think there is a fundamental misunderstanding going on here. We newbies are all thinking that your component is a free-standing forum. What you gurus haven't communicated is that the component is just a bridge to the SMF forum, which apparently needs to be downloaded from
www.simplemachines.org and installed separately into it's own freaking folder...
Hope this ends the hair pulling...
