Great mod

Just a small bug, lines 437 and 439 of modlog.cgi should have $hash->{type} instead of $_[0].

I got this error:

Can't obtain exclusive lock: No such file or directory (called
by /home3/dsstoday/HTML/cgitest/ubb_mod_log.cgi, 36) at /home3/dsstoday/HTML/cgitest/ubb_lib_files.cgi line 573.

Line 35 and 36 of ubb_mod_log.cgi are:

open FILE, ">>$vars_config{NonCGIPath}/modlog/$action.cgi";
&lock();

Are we missing file action.cgi?

Did you create /noncgi/modlog directory?

LK, thx for the bug report. It's fixed. ZIP file has been updated (just re-upload modlog.cgi).

qasic

I have the latest modlog.cgi and yes I have a directory modlog in NONCGI with chmod 777, still I am getting this error:

Can't use an undefined value as a symbol reference at modlog.cgi line 152.

and this is line 152 in modlog.cgi:
my $fh; open($fh, "$vars_config{NonCGIPath}/modlog/$_[0].cgi");

Please help!
Thanks

freeTV, you may be using a version of Perl that doesn't support this feature(I'm using Perl 5.6.1 which defintely supports this feature). What version of Perl are you using?

Try the following:

Open modlog.cgi

find:


and replace with:

nice job q.
I'll install this when i get back.

qasic, I'm using perl5.
I tried your fix to the modlog.cgi and it did the trick. This is a nice hack. I strongly recommend it to everyone.

2 thumbs up!

Nice one... will come in handy, esp. on larger boards

I'm getting internal server errors when opening modlog.cgi, it was working a couple days ago, but redownloaded the most recent one.

Hmmm ... you may want to upgrade to Perl 5.6 then - it's better Anyways, I'm glad my workaround did the trick. I'm lucky Wall's Camel 3 had that workaround

qasic

raiyan:

ISE can be caused by two things:

1) Perl path not being correct.
2) Binary upload of files.

Check to make sure these are not the case. Furthermore, can you print here what your error log says?

qasic

will this work with 6.05? if not can you make one for 6.05?

It can work with UBB 6.0x with a little modfication. If you pay me, I can install on your 6.0x board for you but otherwise, you'll have to install it at your own peril.

qasic

Great hack qasic! I've been waiting for something like this.

I want to download this so bad, but it won't let me in, it thinks im hacking. I forgot which e-mail adress I used so i tried a lot, and then it thought I was hacking, Qasic, can you fix my account?

Hi bsoke,

Did you register @ Qasic.COM by any chance? If you did, you'll need to re-register @ Qasic.NET. Sorry for the inconvenience.

qasic

yeah, it has been a week, and I still can't get it...! grr!

Not sure if this is a problem with everyone, but when I chmod'd my modlog directory to 666 I couldn't gain access to that directory.. not even through FTP, so the ubb couldn't access it and gave this error... when I set it to chmod 777 it works just fine.. maybe the instructions should be changed to say chmod modlog to 777? just curious...

Javier: This hack only requires 666 permissions. If it requires 777 then somehow, your host has a custom UNIX that is screwing around with standard UNIX permissions.

Boske: You're not on the Qasic.NET database at all.

qasic

Q-> that's cool.. my host is also where I work and do tech support Can't complain too much for free hosting lol... in any case, I hadn't seen much feedback on this hack yet so i just popped the question out..

It's a GREAT feature though.. no more "who the heck closed that and why" lol

Well 666 means that everyone has read/write permissions and 777 means everyone has read/write/execute permissions. My script doesn't execute any files inside that directory so it's sufficient to only have 666.

Just weird. Anyways, I'm still glad it works

qasic

ZIP file updated to fix a month-related bug. Thx to MsLedd for finding it!

Re-upload modlog.cgi.

Very useful hack, good job qasic!

Yo qasic. Did you ever thought about making a copy for v6.05?

Yeah, I got one for UBB 6.0x. In fact, MsLedd found all the bugs I had in this hack on her UBB 6.05 However, as I stated above, payment is required for me in order to install it for you.

qasic

He didn't ask you to install it, he just wants the hack for v6.05, like me =). Why not release it since there's lots still using v6.0x until v6.1 is final and bug free.

i'm getting this error also...
file are surelly uploaded in ASCII...
perl path... i don't see nothing on the first lines of modlog.cgi:

this are the first lines of modlog.cgi... where is supposed to be that perl path?

i tryed to add on the first line this:

#!/usr/bin/perl

but with no sucess... blank page...
can anyone help?

on the apache server log... i have this:

[Wed Oct 17 02:21:48 2001] [error] (8)Exec format error: exec of /hosting/gcgsm/public_html/new/cgi/modlog.cgi failed
[Wed Oct 17 02:21:48 2001] [error] [client 212.113.185.162] Premature end of script headers: /hosting/gcgsm/public_html/new/cgi/modlog.cgi

Hi Click,

I re-upload the latest ZIP file with modlog.cgi updated to have the shabang line @ the top of modlog.cgi.

I assumed you've hacked ubb_topic_maint.cgi right? If so, please close a topic and then check your modlog directory (inside the UBB NonCGI directory), and see if there are files. If there are, please list them here.

Thanks!

qasic

re-uploaded modlog.cgi
yes, i've hacked all files as your instructions including ubb_topic_maint.cgi

At this moment i have this error when trying to close one topic:

Can't obtain exclusive lock: Permission denied at /hosting/gcgsm/public_html/new/cgi/ubb_lib_files.cgi line 554

Using perl 5.6.0
ubb 6.10 BR2.1

ok, i chmod noncgi/modlog/ to 777 and now its possible to close the topic...
There are two files there after closing topic:

-rw-rw-rw- 1 nobody nobody 68 Oct 17 03:14 2.cgi
-rw-rw-rw- 1 nobody nobody 31 Oct 17 03:14 index.cgi


anyway, on the control panel, "edit/view moderator logs" still blank page.....

[ 10-16-2001: Message edited by: click ]

Oh, it's a blank page? Try logging into your control panel first (to set UBB admin cookie) and then access modlog.cgi again. Please LMK how this goes.

NOTE TO SELF: If this 666 keeps on causing trouble, I think I may change it to 777.

qasic

still blank page after logging on the control panel, and choosing "view/edit moderator logs"...

what can i do? can i send you my files for you to see?

i have:

UBB cgi dir

-rwxr-xr-x 1 gcgsm gcgsm 1355 Oct 17 02:32 ubb_mod_log.cgi*

This is what i have...

Hi click,

Not too sure what's wrong but I can try logging in to your server to see if I can debug the bug. Please e-mail the FTP login/password and UBB login/password so I may see if I can find the problem. Thanks!

qasic

check your mail

I have the same problem so i have removed your hack till it is fixed.

Hi click,

Just to confirm that I've received your mail and will be looking into your problem tomorrow.

qasic

well, i've received your emails. I don't know what you have done... but i've tryed to open the View/edit moderator loggs, and it still appears blank page.

Tryed on IE5, IE5.5, IE6, Netscape6, Opera
NONE of them can open the page.

can't understand where is my mistake... blank page still remains.
