Q: I am running the forum on port xxxxx (other than 80), and I got HTTP 404 error when I tried to log in.

A: Please follow the steps below:

• Connect to your database with Query Analyzer or our database installer, and then run this SQL Statement:
  Update pgd_config set forumdir = 'http://www.yourdomain.com:xxx/forum/'
  xxx is the port number, and don' t forget to include the trailing slash " /" . Of course you will need to change the value to match your site.
• Open session.asp, and comment out the code from line 10 to line 13 (I provided a few comments for this block of code inside session.asp, so it is very easy to find). This is only required for version 2.4.5 ANSI
• [2.x version only] Load ini.asp(x) from your browser (e.g. http://www.yourdomain.com:xxx/forum/ini.asp(x) )

That' s it. The forum works with port 80 by default, and with the above tweaks, it can work on any ports without problems.

Q: What about SSL (https://; port 443)?

A: You don' t have to worry about https:// . Once the software is installed on a https enabled site, it will just run without you having to do the above tweaks.
