Hey there
I hope you can help. I'm running UBB 6.04b (
http://www.doghause.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi) and I just attempted to install unsuccessfully the latest threads v1.2 hack.
First let me say that this hack is so great because of it's unobtrusive nature. I had tried the Active Topic hack a few months ago with limited success and I was pleased how much easier this one was.
But I'm afraid when I tried to get this one working, I had some problems. Here is what I did:
(1) I modified ubb_lib_postings.cgi on line based on the directions. I left its chmod alone at 755.
(2) I opened lt.cgi on my hard drive and set the variables to:
$save_to_file = 0;
$index_listings = 1;
$page_limit = 8;
$display = 3;
$public_zone = 0;
$filters = 0;
@filter_forums = ('01','03','10');
and left everything else alone.
(3)I uploaded public_lt.pl to my non cgi directory under templates which is called ubb/Templates. I made public_lt.pl chmod 755. I also tried it at 644 but that seemed to give me the same result.
(4) I uploaded lt.cgi and lt_reset to my cgi directory which is called cgi-bin. I made both of these 755. I also tried deleting lt_reset.cgi because I was choosing not to use it but that didn't help either. Right now they are both up there.
(5) Crossing my fingers, I went to test. I typed in
http://www.doghause.com/cgi-bin/lt.cgi and my server provider (which is not free) sent me to their error page at
http://errorpages.cais.net/error500.htm. (6) Sighing I reviewed all variable changes and chmods and found no issues that I could see.
(7) I thought I'd try the ssi anyhow. I created one (an shtml file) that pulled a test htm file and it worked great. So yes my server does run ssi files on shtml files.
(8) I then made a test shtml file calling the lt.cgi file thinking that maybe my server had some issue with it being called directly. This file is
http://www.doghause.com/test1.shtml. It says:
Its chmod is 644. The error I get is "[an error occurred while processing this directive]".
(9) So now I am begging for help from you. If you know what is wrong and there is a work around or I missed something please please inform me.
Thank you in advance for helping if you can!
Let me know if I can answer any questions for you.
