actually i discoverede a similar error installing the UBB on a linus machine.

In quite a lot of the .cgi files you will see an occurrence of

print ("content type: html/text/n/n");

on the machine in question, this caused en internal server error message when trying to run the script.

If you manually edit the line, and removes the () (but remember to keep a space after the final ") the server will be able to run the script.

at least it's worth a try.

I just installed UBB and was getting the Internal Error. Checking the apache log turned up perl errors, Unexpected end of script. I had to run dos2unix on all the UBB files to get it to work on my RedHat server.

I guess UBB is a Windows shop :-)

1. Unzip the UBB Files on Your Computer
Use your unzipping software to unzip the ubb file into a folder on your desktop or in a location you can find again easily. If you are unzipping on your own Linux or Unix machine, use the -a switch [i.e. unzip -a ubb550.zip].
