I ask this because if it is your server I would suggest installing Webmin to tweak those weird php5/cgi settings. (not that it would fix anything, however it would help with configuring as it is a web-GUI) Seems like something weird with your temp folder; [quote=OP]File(./../plugins/index.html/adm/) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/thinkcod:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp)[/quote] that's the part of that error that makes me think. EDIT: I gotta hunch on this hehe. Did you enable Mod_rewrite and all the other extensions needed after updating your php version?? Of course you would enable each with a command like below; [code linenumbers=false]sudo a2enmod {module_name}[/code] Below I have attached a list of the Apache Mods I have installed on my server. The green ones that are checked are the ones in use.
