Submission Error: Could not connect to the specified pickup script...

I have uploaded the 2 PHP files to my forum directory but I keep getting this error when i try to add my forum;

Quote:
Submission Error:

Could not connect to the specified pickup script. Please validate the url entered and that it is installed correctly!
The file is definately in the path that I put in because it comes up saying "INSTALL WAS OK" but it still doesn't work

If you need the link the file is HERE

Well the good news is I have figured out what is causing your problem. The bad news is its your host. You see we expect certain data to be returned by the script in verbatim. When it doesn't return as expected we consider the install to go bad. In this case we expect the initial script to return "INSTALL WAS OK" (without the quotes of couse). You server is actually returning:

HTML Code:
<!-- ULMB Test -->
INSTALL WAS OK
These extra characters are hidden by our browsers from us, but the script is not so forgiving. It sees everything that is passed in the return stream. Looking at your host, it appears that since the host is free they do some output mangling and add that ULMB Test tag to every page that is displayed. I checked a couple of other sites that are run on ULMB and they have that tag as well. As long as that tag appears in the output stream there is no way that you will ever be able to use PostFusion.

Hi! I had a forum installed a while ago (a couple of hours ago). But I took it off since I wont be on it anymore. But, i'm trying to add another forum. I'm getting the same error NJ is getting, only I checked the script's source (HTML) and it was clean, only "INSTALL WAS OK" . GOt any idea what could be causing this?


On a side note: Wont using regex help you guys a bit? I mean instead of just matching the first part, match the whole document, thus, giving access to free-host users.

Damnz, you might want to create a separate thread for your issue, rather than hijacking somebody else's thread. It helps the AF staff + dev team keep track of issues with PF easier.
