You have to apply the updates when released, you can not use the latest version with older database. You have to use the old version you used then apply the upgrades.
Part of the problem is that the categories don't show in the category option, and the regions do not show. As a result, ad posting cannot be processed. Since the update URL (below) is a broken link, I suppose this is part of the problem.\
"http://www.globalclassifiedads.com/cgi-bin/classified/admin.cgi?action=Update" is a broken link!\
\
How are the regions (countried/cities) set up? Why the categories don't show in the ad posting form?\
If someone has an answer, please let me know\
Thank you
