Despite this I now get what 'Excellent' was seeing before he gave up, a very basic single line COMPILATION error for the ultimatebb.cgi file - no other details. My settings are as follows: Quote quote: Please note that I've also tried 'use cgi_buffer;' and that just caused an 'Internal Server Error'. PerlDiver reports that all the needed stuff is installed, although nobody will answer my previous question about what IO::Stringy is? I don't have IO::String, just Stringy? Is this the same? Should I update paths to reflect the 'y' on the end? What do I do. Aside from that I'm stuck, all instructions followed and previous CHMOD's and dir structures obeyed. The fact it's just a basic compilation error means I'm one step away, but where now? PS"6.04e"

Please answer !

The best way to check (providing you aren't getting any errors now) is to load your site and see what size a good-sized downloaded page is (in IE, right-click on a thread's page and select "properties", it should be a very small 5-12kb or so file). Mark Try moving the first 3 line below the use strict; I am grasping at straws here since I can't actually see what's going on. Do you also have String.pm in a Modules/IO (case sensitive) directory? Be sure you have set permissions on the directories and .pm's so they can be read as well [ 10-01-2001: Message edited by: AllenAyres ] - Allen - What Drives You?

Modules/Compress Modules/IO Modules/Digest Modules/Digest/Perl In ultimatebb.cgi uncomment "use strict;" and "use vars" and add these lines to it so that it looks like this: require Modules::Compress::cgi_buffer; import Compress::cgi_buffer $cgi_buffer::generate_etag = 0; use strict; use Fcntl ':flock'; use UBBCGI qw(:cgi); use UBBCGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser set_message); use vars If it doesn't work after this, it is possible you still don't have all the modules installed, or you have them in binary, or you have permissions set to where they can't be read. - Allen - What Drives You?

This is simple to install and it's possible that your server either doesn't have the proper modules installed, or that maybe there's some type of compression already running and messing this one up. To test that, go to this page: http://leknor.com/code/gziped.php - input a url to a file on your site and see what the results are. - Allen - What Drives You?

It works for hmiguelito on all his sites because the pm's are installed, for others the same. Run perl diver, if you are missing one of the perl modules, please ask your web host providor to install those missing. It's a simple process and doesn't degrade performance. - Allen - What Drives You?

My PerlDiver is here: http://www.ispreview.co.uk/cgi-bin/perldiver.cgi IO:String is all I miss from the server itself, but the compilation error I get suggests that its moved past calling the scripts and just can't compile it all into an active state.

I dunno if it worked or not because it seemed normal but I haven't used that test board a for awhile, except for the upgrade and I don't know about the speed variation.. edit: sorry it was suppose to be "NT" instead of NET [ 10-02-2001: Message edited by: Teleknesis ]

Quote quote: I say this because I just installed a v6.1B2 test board and used EXACTLY the same settings and it worked, but not on v6.04e (has lots of hacks installed). I also tried using the new 6.1B2 call modules command at the top of ultimatebb.cgi and it still gave the same error. Clearly one of the hacks is causing problems, either that or it just won't work with v6.04e.

The before and after 'SOURCE' (Using IE - View Source command and save the file) files, even on forums supposedly using it with sucess (https://www.ubbdev.com/test/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi) are identical to those without it. I heard somebody say that the system works by compressing a file when it's called and then uncompressing it on the persons system (once it's streamed I assume?). Thus how do you know whether you've saved any bandwidth or not, people keep saying thinks like, "My 15K file went to 8K", etc., but how do you know? How do you test? Where's the physical proof this actually works? Help =).
