UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums UBB.classic UBB.classic 5 Support Gen and Style Setting screens blank

Now that my control panel is working - more or less - I click on General SEttings and get the message about having to set the absolute paths; click on the link and I get a blank page (says done on the bottom). On Style Settings, if I click on that, it gives me the first paragraph about having color options but only gives me one color option. I know how to change the colors, that isn't the problem; just concern that there is pertinent info on that page I'm missing.

The 4 variable files appear to be corrupted. Grab new copies of them from the zip file, upload them to the cgi directory in ascii and set them with 777 permissions.
