This means from this point on you'll have no indication that somwething is awry. The reason you are getting this error is that you either are on a FAT32 system or your quota is full or the server's hard drive full. Probably the former and not the latter. Once you do what I am going to put below You will be in a position to have no warning when or if your UBB might fail. Please consider this carefully. I urge you to find a safer place to house your UBB after you get it running. Ok, scary warnings done, here is the fix. Open ubb_lib_filehandle and comment out lines 177 to 193. That's located right under the big scary warning inside the file. Honor The Victims

Anonymous Unregistered	The server is running NTFS and there's about 1.5gb free space on it. The "fix" is to block out the error lines?

I am getting the same error.
We're running Windows 2000 using NTFS with 4 GB of available disk space.

I get this error as soon as I log into the Control Panel.

Code

 C:/WWW/HSHSL/cats/help/ubb/vars_config.inc.php: Expected to write out 435 bytes, but file on disk is only 0!]
Here is the backtrace: 
 Backtrace: ubb_lib_filehandle.cgi:190 -> sub UBB::FileHandle::tracer 
 Backtrace: ubb_lib_filehandler.cgi:128 -> sub UBB::FileHandle::close

 Backtrace: cp_lib.cgi:458 -> sub main::LoadTemplate 
 Backtrace: cp.cgi:232 -> sub main::cp_entry_page

If I ignore the error and select "Upgrade your UBB", I get Fatal Error.

If you can't wait, pop open ubb_lib_filehandle.cgi in Notepad - there's a big comment block around line 100-150 that describes what you need to do. -- Charles Capps Programmer, Infopop Corporation Please do not contact me privately for support - post on the board or open a support ticket instead!

Anonymous Unregistered	This one, right? Quote ATTENTION USERS ON WIN2K/XP MACHINES If you are running your system with the FAT32 filesystem, the following code will FAIL. Windows does NOT update FAT fast enough for our zero size file check to function. Do not use FAT32. It is not suitable for production use. Use NTFS. It actually treats the files sanely. If you can't switch to NTFS, comment out everything from this point down to the end of this if block (when the indent goes a tab back to the left). Do so at your own risk. Without zero size file detection, UBB tends to fall apart pretty quickly. I don't like the last part of that... If the board is going to fall apart by blocking out those lines, what kinda fix is that?

Anonymous Unregistered	It's meant to strike fear into your heart. <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> In short, without the zero size file checks, the UBB has no way to catch those errors... when it comes back to read that file later, and if it really IS zero sized, it will throw an even uglier error... -- Charles Capps Programmer, Infopop Corporation Please do not contact me privately for support - post on the board or open a support ticket instead!

Anonymous Unregistered	Laguna, please open a new topic for your issue. It has little to do with the errors in this thread. They are on Windows, you are on Unix - there's a world of difference! Please include both the version and the URL to your board in that new topic. Thank you! -- Charles Capps Programmer, Infopop Corporation Please do not contact me privately for support - post on the board or open a support ticket instead!
