What versions of FUDforum and PHP are you running? Can you please also post lines 13-15 of db.inc here?

SQLite support was introduced in PHP 5.0.0. So, pick a different DB or upgrade your command line PHP executable.

Do a forum datadump, reinstall and import the dump via the ACP.

Thanks. I got it to work with PHP5 CLI. You were right on target with that. So now i dont need to migrate my DB.

But I notice the NNTP sync still doesnt work right. It does not post the message to the newsgroup from the forum. It can nntp-->forum though. no issues there. The reverse doesnt happen.

I used giganews to test

Not sure if i am missing something or this is a bug.

Did you enable "Synchronize Forum Posts to Newsgroup" in the Newsgroup Manager?

Can you post NNTP messages to giganews (without FUDforum) from the server/IP-address where you host your forum?
