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
