UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums UBB.classic UBB.classic 5 Support W2003 - CGI error

I installed UBB on W2003/IIS6. Everything went fine. I was able to set my General Settings etc.
But i cannot get the board up. I get the following error.
-----
CGI Error
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers.
----
I tried everything i found on google. A test script in the same folder worked fine. I don't think it's a permissions error.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

That error is known in the Unix world as "Premature end of script headers" and is about the most useless error EVER. <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Does this only occur when making a form submission?

That doesn't sound good.
It occurs when i try and load Ultimate.cgi.
I can load the other cgi scripts ok (eg cpanel.cgi) which makes all the more confusing.

What's the URL to your cp.html file, please? (Moving this down to 5-series support...)

I'm afraid it's on an intranet behind a firewall. Is there anything else i can give you to help?

Without access to the server, unfortunately, there's little that can be done, unfortunately. Especially with the 5-series.

Which exact version are you working with? If you can't determine this from the control panel, the version number will be listed at the top of either ubb_library.pl or ubb_library2.pl...

it's 5.46

Would i be better off upgrading? Could i expect to experience the same problems?

Considering that 5.46 was released over four years ago, you really do need to upgrade, yes. <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I'd suggest downloading the trial version (link's on the left) and installing it on your server - if it installs without a problem (no mysterious and annoying internal server errors), then you'll have no problems upgrading either. It's a trimmed down version of 6.6, the previous major version.

Thanks very much for your help
