UPDATE:
I do not understand why this happened or why I fixed it in the way I did. HOWEVER... If someone can shed some light for the sake of experience and knowledge to us in the community please do so.
As I said before I had the live website on
www.mysite.com/folder2
and I was receiving errors when I click the save kunena configuration in kunena. This website was winrared and uploaded and installed on this live server from my testing environment on my laptop using XAMPP.
So I copied the entire site and DB called the db DB3 and the site now
www.mysite.com/folder3
. Saving kunena configuration now worked!
I deleted the original folder2 and its DB, then renamed folder3 to folder2 so the same URL would be seen as before. NOW IT ALLOWS ME TO SAVE THE KUNENA CONFIGURATION!?
I did not change anything in the DB or the FILE PERMISSIONS. I just made a copy, then removed the previous install, and renamed the backup to the folder of the site that was giving me issues before.
So this particular issue seems resolved but I dont know why.
