UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums UBB.classic UBB.classic 5 Support Moving bulletin board - Help

Hope someone can help. Last year I took over as web admin. I have recently found out that i don't have the install files to reinstall the bulletin board. I don't have members support becuase its been more than a year. I need to move my bulletin board to another server while I upgrade my main server. is there a way to just move the files and relink without installing it.

No, you must make a clean installation on the target server first.

Is there a way to keep the files on the upgraded server and reinstall the server with the same file structure?

Could you rephrase the question?

Ok, It is now working on the web server on its own harddrive. If I format the server and reinstall the server. Setup the web using the same folder structure will the UBB still work?

In theory, yes.

thanks for your help. after a lot of reading and working I got it going. I seemed the perl path was not set right in IIS.

Many thanks Ho

I have recently moved my UBB 5 setup on Solaris to MacOS X Server. UBB seems to work, but after a day or two posting to files and logging in does not work. The only way to make it work again is to stop apache and then start apache (not restart). I think its some file handle open not being closed or something. It seems that some UBBmembers have been updated in the mean time. Any suggestions?
