I just successfully migrated my website Forum from ubb.classic to threads and everything went pretty well. I'm just trying to fix a couple of issues that are perplexing me. The first is the redirect. I followed the instructions, and got errors. I then read through previous issues on this Forum and made another adjustment to the code. It still doesn't work. Here's the part that I changed:

- - - -

# Replacement ultimatebb.cgi script.
# $URL needs to be set to your UBB.threads installation.
$URL = "http://www.ericcarmen.com/ubbthreads";

# site_id only needs to be changed if you've imported multiple forums. The importer
# will tell you what your site id needs to be changed to
$site_id = 1;

# What type of redirect shall we send?
# 0 - Don't send a 301/302 header, my webserver does this. (Enable this if 301/302 results in an ISE or blank page)
# 301 - Permanent
# 302 - Temporary
$redirect = 0;

# Search engine friendly redirects? Change to 0 to disable
$search_friendly = 1;

- - - -

This is what comes up when I use my old Message Board link (http://www.ericcarmen.com/scripts/ultimatebb.cgi):

Internal Server Error

Please contact the server administrator, root and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

Can anyone help me, please?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Bernie,

Change $redirect=0 to $redirect=301.

Tried it but am still getting the same error.

Bernie

Do you have an htaccess file active on the site? Try temporarily renaming it (if possible) to .htaccessBAK. (Change it back if it doesn't work.)

Can you access the server logs? Can you put any information up here on the forums (obviously be wary of security issues)?

Neil, where would I find that file if I had it?

Bernie

It would most likley be in the root directory of your server, but there can be more than one.

You have other problems though - your home page:

http://www.ericcarmen.com/

Is showing PHP code. Can your server run PHP?

You may need to rename the index page to index.php?

PHP, eh? Well, that's the other problem I'm having. I used to have a "Content Island" showing the 10 newest posts on the ubb.classic Forum. I attempted to do the same with threads, but as you can see...the posts do not display. I was trying to fix the redirect issue first and then tackle the "content island" issue. I'm not sure how to enable PHP on that index page.

But, back to the redirect...

By the way, I just tried renaming the index page, but get a bunch of warnings in the "content island" box.
