Create a new page called index.php. Make its content:

Code

[/code]Then rename index.htm, index.html, index.shtm, etc to index2. If it doesn't work, you have to add cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi to your default document, if you can control httpd.conf file for Apache or the IIS.

For example, I have the following in my Apache:Code
</pre></div></div>Oh, and also then you'll have to rename index.*, unless you put cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi BEFORE anything else, like I did<br><br>If you can't do any of those, you can make index.shtm, and make its content: [code]
I like the second option (change Apache/IIS) the most, because you can use  http://www.url.com?ubb=whatever,  and it shows you that thing. For example  www.lkubb.dns2go.com?ubb=demo;s=12  or  www.lkubb.dns2go.com/cgi-bin/?ubb=dumpcookies
