UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 7 Development How Do I? changing from NT to linux

I had a board installed on a win Nt then i saved all the files in a .zip, how would i go to put it on the linux server ? is there anything special ?

thanks in advance

I'm getting ready to do the same thing within the next few days. I know that the "path to Perl" is important, and something that I'm concerned about in some of the hacks. I'm also a total no0bie when it comes to *nix, and make my living as a Sr. Systems Engineer. This should be a great adventure.

If I make the change before you do I'll help you in any way that I can, once I'm successful that is.

souldent be to hard. just upload, chmod (the zip will tell ya how) and set your paths to perl for ubb and any hacks u have installed.


xpert its not that diff, all hacks ive seen that would have problems are unix ones that dont work on nt, ive never seen a hack that works on nt that doset work on unix, has for the path to perl mine is (just for example) /usr/local/plesk/apache/vhosts/ceanime.com/cgi-bin/ubb

I realise that about the hacks, and I plan to use SR32 to find and adjust the paths. SR32 is a kick butt product by the way if you've never used it. I know that there are times where case sensitivity plays a role, and I may have made serious sloppy mistakes in my own hacks that work fine under IIS but will blow up on a *nix server. I'll know as soon as I upload and set the permissions. It's not like I'm lazy about code, it's just another challenge and learning experience.

well everything was ok, just chmoded the files and changed paths, but i lost the colors of the forums, i saved the file :

vars_style_3.cgi
vars_style_1.cgi

is there a way to recover them with these 2 files ?
