GLOBALS.php uploaded with fudforum file manager, but...

Cannot open GLOBALS.php, this does not appear to be a forum directory. You need to upload the file in to the forum's WWW_SERVER_ROOT directory

You may be trying to open a symlink rather then the file itself.
The 'primary' file is located inside the include directory, the GLOBALS.php in www_root & www_root/adm/ is just a symlink.

In addition I get messages when run Avatar Manager:
Web server doesn't have write permission to write to '/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/test2/images/avatars', avatar upload disabled
but permissions rwx rwx rwx apache2 apache2 on all dirs.
What it may be?
And when installation process and www_root and data_root have 777 apache2 apache2 permissions I get create blank.gif error (permis changed in rw- - - ...). When 777 root root all ok.

You are using Apache2? If so which PHP version are you using?

I strongly recommend upgrading to PHP 4.3.0RC1 if you are using worker (threads) model. Otherwise you should be more or less ok with your config, keep in mind PHP + Apache 2 is an unsafe combination.

Apache 2.0.40 contains a number of vulnerabilities which have been addressed in later versions. unless this is a hyper patched version by ur vendor u should upgrade to 2.0.43 to be on the safe side. However based on my experience I still prefer using 1.3.27 until apache2 has become more mature and will work seamlessly with php.
