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

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.

Ok, I've tried everything. I followed the instructions and I get as far as the part where it tells me to check the paths of those three files, then run the ubb6_test.cgi script. This is where the problem lies. I get an "internal server error." I went back and played with the perl paths and finally put in the one you recommended. It didn't work. Everything that needs to be chmoded is chmoded. What else is there to do? Frustrated. Juan

Your UBB5 board appears to be functioning fine. Whichever perl path you are using for the UBB5 board, use it for the UBB6 board.

Recheck the permissions again and ensure that all files except images have been uploaded in ascii.

Ok, I'm almost there. I can access ubb6_test.cgi. All tests passed. Now, I went to ubb_upgrade.cgi and it says my board is already upgraded? What's that about?

I'm now stuck on this part. I can't access the control panel. I get an error. Help. www.boxingfanatics.com/cgi-bin/cp.cgi

All tests pass but I get this error message when trying to access the control panel. Any ideas?

Software error:
(Maybe you didn't strip carriage returns after a network transfer?)
For help, please send mail to the webmaster (webmaster@boxingfanatics.com), giving this error message and the time and date of the error. Content-type: text/html

[/QUOTE]Kristi, the upgrade worked but my forum and control panel keep on having problems every now and then. A few minutes ago, I was getting an error message when I tried to access both the forum and the control panel. I just tried it again and now it works. Why do you think it is doing that?

My control panel is currently displaying this error:

http://www.boxingfanatics.com/cgi-bin/cp.cgi

Please also check out the forum at:

http://www.boxingfanatics.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi

It's also not functioning correctly as of the moment.

Sounds like your server might be going up and down... You might want to check with your webhosting provider and see if they can give you information on the performance.

[/QUOTE]Kristi, since the upgrade earlier, I can no longer log into my server control panel nor can I access my email account. can you post the trouble ticket url here?

What does exceeded disk quota mean? Does that mean, I'm going to have to find another host?

Salvador-

It means that you've exceed the space that your webhost provided for you. You'll need to contact them and ask them for more. You can tell that this is not just affecting your board, as your email is down as well.

This doesn't mean that you have to change hosts... You can simply ask your host for more space.

Kristi, I'm going to switch. This particular host doesn't support message boards well. They shut down my Yabb last week and I've had problems with my UBB there as well. It's time to switch to a host that supports UBB. Thanks for everything.

Kristi, which one do I download?

6.1.0.3
English (#!/usr/local/bin/perl)**

English (#!/usr/bin/perl)**

I noticed there are two version. Which is the one for me If I want to start from scratch?
