Hi,

My RForum site is running. here is the link

> **[FindBd.com is for sale | HugeDomains](https://www.hugedomains.com/domain_profile.cfm?d=findbd.com)**
>
> Extensive selection of high-quality domain names. Knowledgeable, friendly customer support.

But I couldn’t give to new user administrator privileges with this  
command:  
RAILS\_ENV=production script/make\_admin username

When I use this command line, I got this msg.  
[dionysus]$ RAILS\_ENV=production script/make\_admin arahman  
-bash: script/make\_admin: Permission denied

So what I did. I modified role field in users table.  
like arahman was user. i made as an Admin.

Now when I login with this user, I got menu like:  
Forum List | Search | User settings | User List | Log Out [arahman]  
(Admin)

But now my question is how do I add Forum list Category or subcategory.

I am running RRforum on Dreamhost using MySQL.

Thanks

error " here

Also I have some problem:

1. when I click Forum\_List from Nav. menu, got error, didn’t go to  
default page or anywhere.

2. Also when I logout, i got same problem.

My site link : [FindBd.com is for sale | HugeDomains](http://forum.findbd.com/forum/1)

So if anyone implemented RForum, they where I made a mistake.  
Please let me know

Thanks…
