Hi,

I am trying to complete installation and have tried several paths to the cgi-bin which was already in my root directory where my index file is at. I also installed to the same directory ubb and Members folders using ascii format.

Path to the control panel is www.nmsoh.org/ubb/cp.html

I have tried the following Base Href paths in the cplinks.html file and none work. "http://www.nmsoh.org/cgi-bin/" & "http://nmsoh.org/cgi-bin/" & "http://cgi-bin"

I called my host before installing and they said I should have no trouble using ubb as they have other customers using it.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks Patti

your paths are still incorrect

it shows it is
http:///cpanel.cgi?action=variables

make sure the base path is http://www.nmsoh.org/cgi-bin/ubb/

or where ever your ubb cgi scripts are

Thanks for replying.

I tried that path and even moved ubb folder into my cgi-bin directory and it still did not work.

As of now the folders are stored in the root directory which also contains my index page for nmsoh. As follows:

/ubb
/Members
/cgi-bin

Is this incorrect? Seems to me the path per the instructions should be changed to "http://www.nmsoh.org/cgi-bin/"

No matter what path I try it always shows it as http:///cpanel.cgi?action=variables when I click on the links. Why is it not loading the www.nmsoh.org in the path since I changed the cplinks.html to read:

< !-- For example <BASE HREF="http://www.nmsoh.org/cgi-bin/" -->


Thanks Patti

Don't use the 'for example' line. Look below that for a line that starts <BASE HREF=""> and change that one. Put the URL between the quotes.

<BASE HREF="http://www.nmsoh.org/cgi-bin/">

[/QUOTE]<font color="yellow">I'm having the same problem as this guy. i have my folders set up the same way as he has them. I've uploaded everthing... I've changed the path in the cplink.html... UNDER the correct one and not the example. And I'm getting the same results. It's saying "not found" and it reads http:///cpanel.cgi?action=variables at the top. What am I doing wrong? Or does this mean that my server won't except this board? please help. peace

I have the exact same problem. Everything works fine until I get to General Settings.

Thanks Hal. My path is now loading correctly. Duh! I can't believe I did not look down one more line. I thought that was a comment line but I know nothing of Pearl and was not sure if maybe things were done differently.

Any way I am now getting a HTTP 500 Page Not Found. From other posts it looks like this may be a cgi - perl mapping problem and I have called my host to check it out.

I noticed you post frequently to help others. Want to let you know that it is appreciated!

Hal is the man! (And it never hurts to compliment him every once in a while... )

*ducks*

Others - please do not 'me-too' on other threads. Reverify Hal's remark about not editing the example line. If that does not help you out, please post a problem description in a new thread, along with the URL to your control panel.
