UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 7 Development How Do I? 5.46 Question and info please

I posted this in the wrong forum orignally.


Hi guys, I am fairly new to the UBB scene and have done a lot of reading on this site. My question is, the General Settings tab on the board I have isnt working. when I click on it, it gives me an internal server error saying page not found. is there a way I can restore the General Settings or replace it? any help would be greatly appreciated.

Also, not sure if the Show Signature option is in the general settings since I cannot access it, but is there a way in 5.46 to make the Show Signature always on?

Also, where is the perl located, I am trying to do the Poll hack.

sorry I am a newbie at this

be sure all the files in your CGI bin are chmod'ed 755 (except the vars_ files which should be 777), then retry, should fix it up if the permissions were changed.

umm, please explain

:slaps head: If you have a linux based server, your board's cgi/variable files have to be chmoded (permissions based on who's allowd to access them and at what levels). They need SPECIFIC permissions or it'll give you a internal server error. Was just wanting to be sure everything was chmodded correctly if you're on a unix/linux machine.

and it is 755 and not 775?

According to the UBB install documentation on infopop's webpage, the cgi files must be chmoded 755 and the variable files 777.

lol, they are all at 775

So did the chmodding fix the problem?

Nope! not at all

the vars_ files shoudl be 777. Chmod your variables 777 and see if the problem clears up.

did nothing. crap!

I can access style settings, forum settings, update threads, everything but General Settings.
