If you read the post I provided. I believe you will need to run all of the rebuild functions after you edit the one vars_config.cgi file.

I will ABSOLUTELY let you know! You guys rock, users or otherwise!!! I think it spins a wierd error which I will post once done uploading as I THINK I tried this before! So nice to just not be ALONE in this massive issue I have had for DAYS

Post soon!

oh man I totally missed that link! AWESOME LINK! Reading now to see what I need to do!

Man that is a nice guide. I think I will start over and take that guide step by step! Thanks for the guide! I will post what the results are!!

THis is the wierd error I get, ANY IDEAS??? I get this when trying to access cp.cgi or the board itself. I will try the guide posted but this error is wierd!! What does it mean?

Software error:
Invalid range "a-Z" in transliteration operator at Modules/vars.pm line 17.


Software error:
[Fri Jul 23 13:24:58 2010] vars.pm: Invalid range "a-Z" in transliteration operator at Modules/vars.pm line 17. Compilation failed in require at ultimatebb.cgi line 56.

Software error:
[Fri Jul 23 13:24:58 2010] vars.pm: [Fri Jul 23 13:24:58 2010] vars.pm: Invalid range "a-Z" in transliteration operator at Modules/vars.pm line 17. [Fri Jul 23 13:24:58 2010] vars.pm: Compilation failed in require at ultimatebb.cgi line 56. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ultimatebb.cgi line 56.

Do I need to do something in the Modules directory or something? ANY ADVICE would be awesome!

From a note in the guide:
Upload all files (including the Modules subfolder) in the cgi-bin folder of the zip file into your cgi directory. Permissions for all of these files and your cgi directory must be set to 755. You do not need to set permissions on the Modules subfolder or its contents.

As memory calls I remember it is more steps for permission settings for classic. So you need to double check all of the file/folder permissions.
Also you need to make sure you use ascii for the proper file uploads.

Also I am not sure this is the issue but. There was two flavors of ubb classic depending on the path to perl to download.
Since you moved hosts the path to perl may have changed.
Another note from the guide.

Why Are There Two Different Sets of Files to Download in the Member Area?

When you log into the Member Area, you’ll see the current version of UBB.classic™ available in two slightly different files:

Get Latest Version (#!/usr/bin/perl)**
Get Latest Version (#!/usr/local/bin/perl)**

The UBB.classic™ is written in a language called Perl, and in order to run correctly, it needs to know where the Perl language files are located on your server’s system. The way we tell the UBB.classic™ where Perl is located is by placing a special line at the beginning of the main UBB.classic™ file. When you ask your web host for the “path to Perl”, they will give you an answer that probably looks like one of the two lines above. If you download the file that matches your “path to Perl” then you do not have to open the UBB.classic™ files and edit this introduction line.

If it turns out that your web host has Perl installed in a different location than either of the two above, you can download either one of the files and the detailed installation instructions will tell you how to edit the “path to Perl”.

Path to perl is correct and I can load the hello.cgi and display it just fine as a test of cgi and perl

I dont think the error I posted is permission related....

Its talking about a specific invalid range in the vars.pm file where it is calling some "A-Z" type listing

I have checked all of the permissions as well

That is an error I have never seen before and I think it is the sole reason this board wont worl!!

ARRGGGGH!!

Anyone know what the error I posted means??

Well I changed the BIG Z to a small z as siggested by a rare google find

but NOW I get this error:

Software error:
Can't locate object method "_open_buffered" via package "UBB::FileHandle" at /home2/vpoolcom/public_html/cgi-bin/ubb_lib_filehandle.cgi line 275

ANYONE???

You guys rock for even trying! Love you all!

I am DYING over here
