It a first version...
dose it run with V6.x ??



[edit]
code removed.

you can find the code here

Looks good but just a tip.
You've hardcoded in the path
/cgi-bin/ubb/ipSearch.cgi
in several positions. Not all people would be
using the same path. So maybe just use a variable and tell people to modify it accordingly.

change all

Great work! Alot of people have been asking for this.

so would this particular hack work with 6.04 ?

No. Only works in v5.4 versions.

Help on this
http://www.guyana.org/cgi-bin/ubb/ipSearch.cgi? Yes it is set to 755
Not working

is #!/usr/bin/perl in the first line?

Yep my first line is
#!/usr/bin/perl
I uploaded in ASC11 mode and chmod to 755,
File is called ipSearch.cgi

so i am not sure what is wrong????

add after eval {};
[code][/code]

which entries are in the errorlog?


on my PCs this script is running without problems (Win32/Apache and Linux/Apache)...

It's okay, I give up on the hack.
Thanks

Hmmm, Im running the 5.45c board...straight away I've hit an inter server error Got the permissions right, etc......

Did any error message come up? Or just Internal server error?

Just the average ISE......I changed the cgi-bin link, sure i didnt make any mistakes in it.

i use this code without problems (save the file as "ipSearch.cgi")...

Yep I am also getting a 500 error even though it perl -c compiles OK, and I have it 755'ed.

Jokingdown can you place this in a proper text file and upload the file onto a server so that we can download it ? thx

The correct extension is UL, and the right permissions....

have you tested perl -w ipSearch.cgi?
a local copy of all files is required; $CGIPath must be the local path of the "UltBB.setup".

OMG!

This works perfectly, I shouldn't have tested it on my IP though, I got A LOT of results

I was looking for this option for so long! This will get rid of those abusers registering once again after banning. (well, not always, but it's a great help!)

Danke danke danke joking-down für Bundeskanselier!

Ok, I've got 1 request and 1 question about the ipSearch:

Request: could you please make it so that only admins can use this function? Because if someone else finds out about this ipSearch everyone can search...

Question: Is it very CPU demanding? I saw it searched some while, and I'm afraid my ISP will kick my *** if I abuse his CPU, lol

Hmm.. yet another request, hope I don't stretch it If so just ignore me.

It would be really great if you would get the username of the person posting with that IP in the results.

I don't think that this is a big add-on (of course I might be wrong) as you are probably browsing the .cgi files in the forumx/ directory, and in the same line as the IP number the username is available as well.

Cheers,

CT.

it's a good idea to limit the access to the ipSearch and print the UserName ...

i'm now to busy to write it.

i don't know the load of the script. i have local only a Win32/Apache and on the webspace i cant see the CPU load. you can reduce the load, i think, when you change this line

Take your time J-D but please don't leave us ever as you seem to be the last developer actually improving version 5.

a new version is released.
now only an admin can use this script.
