Ok I instlled private message and memberlist today. The only problem is the memberlist doesn't list the members, it just says how many members!
Any idea's?!

Here's what it looks like:
http://www.contemporarycustoms.com/cgibin/memberlist.cgi


Oh and one more thing in the PM when you hit reply it just comes back with a blank privatesend.cgi there isn't the user that set it to you there or a topic!??!

Ok so I looked at it again and you can't access the profiles, so I put it back to the backup ubbmisc.cgi file I had, works fine.
I then reenter the script and same problem!
Here is the error:
Error including required files: Can't locate memlist.setup in @INC (@INC contains: /web/web/www.contemporarycustoms.com/cgibin /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.0/sun4-solaris /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.0 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/sun4-solaris /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl .) at /web/web/www.contemporarycustoms.com/cgibin/ubbmisc.cgi line 46. Make sure these files exist, permissions are set properly, and paths are set correctly.

What the heck does this mean!??!

Thanks!

You did not run lettercreate.cgi for the memberlist.

Also, Maybe that big long error means that they cant find the memberlist.setup file on your server.

How the hell did I not see that it was driving me nuts everything else went fine...
Anyway I had the memlist.setup in the ubb dir insteded of the cgibin dir!!

So the only other thing I gotta figure out now is why the reply isn't working in the PM!?

Thanks guys!

If you get a blank screen it's probably a chmod problem. So chmod privatesend.cgi correctly and it should work.

Nope its not a blank screen it just looks like a new PM when you hit reply no topic or reciver!

What do you mean? Does it say the new PM is sent? If it does and you don't recieve. Make sure you made the "private" directory in your cgi-bin directory.

Make sure you have the UBB Code Buttons and CHMOD the private directory to 777.

Let me explain this a little better!

When I first set it up and you tried to reply you get this


Internal Server Error

Looks like a permision error right? Wrong! The problem is I'm using unix which is case sensitve...when you hit the reply button it sends you too is
http://www.contemporarycustoms.com/cgibin/privatesend.cgi?action=reply&id=8
That doesn't work but if you change the "id" to a "ID" it works! Well kind of, you still just get a normal PM its not a reply!

So in the privatesend.cgi I edited all the "idnum" to "IDnum" and it works fine. But still when you hit reply its just brings up a new PM like your not replying it anyone!

Well I hope I explained it well enough.
So now can anyone HELP!?!

Thanks

When all else fails, restore your backup files and redo the hack.

Yeah you should at least try the hack twice before asking about problems..coz you might have stuffed coding somewhere.

OK, sorry about my incompetance, I'm a complete n00bie at this sort of thing, I've just installed a memberlist which works properly, although I want to link to it up at the top where it says 'my profile | register' etc.

Do you mean you want to add profile | Register at the top of the page on the member list or add links?

sorry, I meant add a link on every page or whatever to the memberslist up on the part where it has all the links
'profile | register | preferences | faq | search ' etc

This Question was asked in a previous thread so go through the threads and try to find it.
