Hi ya folks,
Finally got this thing to work on an NT server. Well, sorta...
From my previous posts, I haven't been able to get this to run because I was not getting the UBB Poll Setup Form to come up. So, I looked at the admin.cgi. I'm not a cgi/programmer but in looking at the code, I saw the condition
The last line says that if $size is = 2, run the Setup Form. So, for kicks, I figured I'd just replace the line
-s "Ultpoll.setup" with "2"
I uploaded the file and called admin.cgi.
Voila!!! the form came right up.
After entering the necessary info, I clicked on the Setup button and the system said that it was completed successfully. I checked the data directory and found the members.cgi.
Next, I tried to add a poll but couldn't. Clicking that Add Poll, Delete Poll, or any of the links gave me the Setup Form. Ooops, have to change the condition of $size. I restored it to -s "Ultpoll.setup", reuploaded the file, and I was able to access the rest of the UBB Poll links.
BTW, I didn't have to do the tip that was suggested by Phillip at scriptkeeper of using FindBM.
I followed Andy's directions in the install.txt file plus the tip he gave on page 2 I think about the change to the Ultpoll.setup file.
Then did the "work around" to make the Setup Form appear.
I hope this helps the other folks here trying to run this on an NT. Admittedly not the most elegant way to get it to work, but at least it runs. =)
Thanks,
Errol
