Okay, Charles, I followed your instructions. The upgrade to 2.1 went perfectly and so moved on to the next steps you gave. I got this on the ubbaccel_test.cgi (nee php):

UBB Accelerator Test
Your PHP version is 4.06: OK
Your PHP version has zlib: Yes

Your PHP version will have no issues with the UBB Accelerator. The UBB Accelerator will use zlib compressed output.

I edited the ubb_lib.cgi as you instructed. Turned on the accelerator, but this is what I got as a message on the main board page:

Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/redboot/public_html/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi:2) in /home/redboot/public_html/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi on line 490

That's where I have a board set up for testing upgrades and such and I keep it closed except if the real board (same site host provider) goes down. However, the above error repeats itself from "line 490" to "line 494".

So, I took a wrong turn at Albuquerque somewhere. It's too bad, I have to tell you, Charles, that accelerator feature is Batmobile cool <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Maybe if my site host ever goes with PHP 4.06 as its Apache module version, I'll have no problems.

It does show how versatile UBB is, though, since I almost got it to work even with my site host's round about approach to PHP 4. Thanks so much for trying to get it to work. I at least got some PHP experience our of it and that was very cool.
