When I go into my control panel and I check my variables it shows me this: PATH : /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin

Based on that info, what is my perl path? Or is that the wrong way to find it?

Also, when I modify those 3 scripts during the upgrade, I'm just modifying the 1st line, right

Remember, I get as far as the hello scripts, which work fine. After that, I'm stuck on the those three files and the perl path issue.

Please help! I'll hook you up with free boxing fights. LOL

I got rid of the pwd because I don't want just anyone getting a hold of it but if anyone needs it to help me, please email me at admin@boxingfanatics.com

Hi Salvador, don't forget to include "perl" in your perl path

And yes, you are modifying the first line only.

Try this:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl

Ted O'Neill
CEO, Infopop Corporation[/QUOTE]My host just told me that these are the perl locations on my server:

sbin/perl

/usr/bin/perl <---- They said that most likely
this is the one the UBB
software is looking for.


Can you figure out the exact path from that information?

Also, I'm upgrading from version 5.47b. Does that mean that I have to upgrade to the latest 5x version and then upgrade to 6x? Curious.

Please help. Thank you!!!!

I also got this from my host:
Resolution:
Hello, paths are below for your server express10.propagation.net

/usr/bin/perl5.00404
/usr/bin/perl
/usr/bin/perl5.004
/usr/bin/perl5.003
/usr/local/bin/perl
/usr/local/bin/perl5.004

Your Perl path is:
#!/usr/bin/perl

You could use any of the others. If you downloaded either of the full UBB zip files and have not changed the paths, it will work.
