Okay, I should be able to solve this on my own but I can't. I've had to move to a new web server and can't get an old script to work. All it does is convert a fund activity report to a web page. It worked fine on the old server. I updated the directory paths and checked permissions. All are fine. What's more I don't get an error. It just works and returns nothing. Any help would be appreciated.
