anything I do in Server Manager gives me an "error" but refresh shows it's there or it's changed, HOWEVER, I still have a problem with port forwarding. Both problems started at the same time ( a while ago ).
This started back at 5.6, upgraded to 6.0 didn't fix it, upgraded to 6.01-01 still didn't fix it... now using 6.5rc1 and it's still there.
any ideas ???? any help at all ????
Thanx in advance

Port forwarding is a little tricky
It only works in Gateway-Server mode as it is the firewall that does it
Server mode does NOT use the firewall - fisrt thing to check
Other than that do not compound the problems upgrading
5.6 to 6.0 to 6.5 just do a clean install and start from there

It has been always "server-gateway" mode.. too late for the "start fresh" too many users and email to have to start over but really wish i could. Just recently I have done the clean install of 6.5rc1, looked great then did the restore from desktop and problem came back as it has done in the past with every upgrade / clean install then restore.
I am sure the server manager is just some chmod thing but I have no idea where or what to look for :-(
I have read, searched and posted and still trying to figure out where i "screwed" up and hoping for someone to help out...
