Sounds like you are getting an error, but your system reroutes you back to the page if origin, or index page. Hard to say without an error number. Do you have telnet?

This is driving me crazy. We must be haunted. No matter how many backups of my entire cgi directory I restore, no loading of Ultimate.cgi will take place since this afternoon without '500' errors.

Approximately 8-9 hours after this hack was installed (and working just fine) this all occurred. If someone can figure out why this is occuring, I will give them free publicity. [Linked Image]

I really need to get this working, I'd appreciate any thoughts you might have about it Allen. [Linked Image]

I've restored a backup from 24 hours ago, a week ago, and even a month ago, and it will not display. In addition to refreshing the entire cgi-bin/* heirarchy, i've completely deleted any signs of the PM mod files, including the private directory, and the pmimages directory. I have no clue to what may be going on.

I have noticed your forumdisplay, threads, and postings seems to be working well... and it's just Ultimate.cgi?

Very strange... and you weren't working on anything when it went kaput?

Not a thing, I was on an e-mail run on my various accounts, it just started to malfunction completely out of nowhere. I was notified by a bunch of users that it was occuring, so I immediately worked on restoring backups with the mod not installed.

No luck. Now been 12 hours, and I still can't find anything out of place anywhere via Telnet or FTP.

Okay, I got everything under control finally, thanks to a small brainstorming sessions with ukliam. [Linked Image]

Not to mention some pointers "perl -w" gave me too!

Their was some conflicting code in my Ultimate.cgi that never showed it's ugly head previously. It was somehow tied to the "Accurate Posts Mod", which is pretty dated by now (but still works for the most part).

It's pretty odd that it all happened yesterday while everything was running fine for 8 hours. I still think we're haunted.

check your code in the ultimate.cgi page.
Make sure you have $CGIURL/privateview.cgi

You may have lost a part of it..

Best thing to do is go thru the install step by step.

Never answer questions when you're half asleep..

Look for this in your ultimate.cgi setup.

Code
code:

$cgi_url/$viewprivate

Make sure it's correct. In private.cfg it converts it to privateview.cgi here:

Code
code:

Hope this helps..

Not having telnet will be a pain, escpecially when you need to track errors..
But you should be able to work it out without it.

How come the username & password still show up in the url box when running privateread.cgi?

I thought this was fixed.

I'm running 5.39 if that makes a difference....

And privatedelete comes up blank, then I got this....

CGI ERROR
==========================================
Error Message : error in delete_records. unable to open db file:

I went back and refreshed the privateview, and the message was deleted. Privatedelete.cgi didn't redirect me back to privateview.

The Cookie is writing UserName information improperly. It retains the + sign in multi-named usernames (e.g., 'Abc 123' is recorded as 'Abc+123') and this presents a major problem when users are going to post notes (the cookie is returned as an invalid UserName). How can this be fixed?

Please fix this ASAP!!

Likewise, it should be mentioned that there is no expiration date on the cookie, or no 'logout' mechanism. Consequently, one person is constantly stuck using the same cookie over and over again until they manually delete it.

Does anyone have the files and/or links to Private Messages 1.5c ? This version's cookie errors definitely cripple the utility of the UBB. Unless if there's something I'm desperately doing wrong.

In the future, it would make more sense not to eliminate previous versions of the hack in the database in favor of newer betas.

Just a thought.

Yep - I'm having the same problem with deleting. Running 5.46 on IIS,
installed and everything ran peachy first time except that. Tested this with IE5.0 and 5.5 - same problem.
All that appears as the source for 'white page' I'm left with is
the standard page headers/footers:






Can anyone help with this ??? I thought it was just me until I read the post above about this.... ?

First, Telnet comes with Windows95/98(tm)
But your server may not allow it.

Second, I think it might be time for some of
you to have a test UBB, loaded with a fresh
UN-Hacked copy of your UBB (On the same
server if you don't have room, sorry your
license only allows for it to be on one
server only). then add only PM, if it works
your prob could be the result of a different
hack, and it didn't show until now..

Yeah it's a pain..


Yo Allen, would it be possible to
have two downloads. One for Unix/Linux,
and one for NT/Win32? already set etc..

Finally, the blank pages have me
stumped. For some reason the PM is
misfiring. Just for arguments sake
were you trying to delete something
or just clicking delete?

By the way, I installed this and it worked
fine. BUT I still use 1.5c on my active UBB.
I tried it on my test board only.

C_P,

The problem lies in the redirect code.

I suspect it has to do with IIS.

Indeed - that got me thinking. Whats the biggest difference with IIS ....
Well, I solved my problem. I'm by no means that good in Perl so I didn't look to change the redirect code. Instead I looked at the compatibility issue & checked to ensure IIS was executing scripts with "Perl.exe %s %s" and not ActivePerl's "PerlS.dll" ....

That seems to have cleared up the 'blank page after deleting a post after reading it' problem... [Linked Image]

DMan,

I don't know if my host will make those changes to their IIS setup.

Can someone post a fix so changes to IIS aren't necessary?

Please?

I don't understand why the other PM cgis execute and redirect and privatedelete.cgi wont come up and then redirect back to privateview.cgi and clear the checked items.

Anyone have a code fix for this? It's really annoying.

we run the pm's here on IIS5, tho I do have cgi mapped to perl % etc... and not perldll.whatever... (don't have the server pulled up right now...)

I am gonna experiment with a different code to remove the + from where spaces are supposed to be, basically cabbaging it from the cookie routine in the who's online hack... if someone else wants to give it a shot, we'll compare results..

OK... I am using the code discussed above, if anyone else wants to give it a shot, replace this at the bottom of private.pl:

$cookie{$_} =~ s/ /+/g; #convert plus to space.

with this:

$cookie{$_} =~ s/+/ /g; #convert plus to space.

it seems to be working ok, I tested with 2 different users names with spaces in them and did not have any problems... if you guys want to try it out and it works, I'll add it to the download...

I just noticed that smilies get stripped out and html left in it's place in replies. The same prolly holds true for forwards.
