[6.0x] Unix Server Load Limit 1.0

UBB.Dev

This hack allows UBB to determine the load on the server and to turn away further users if the server load is too high.

Tested under UBB 6.02 with mod_Perl

Nice job there Phillip!

excellent man, love it

thats great!

vbulletin has something like that.

The words:

document.writeln

Do not exist at all in my cp_common.pl

I have Whos Online hack on, I dont think that wiped it out though... Any ideas?

It has to be there, that's where your control panel links are.

Ok, I need a drink. I redownloaded it and its there... Hmmm, that was weird

Great:

You do not have permission to access this area.
» Use your browser's back button to return.

Probably because I am not using Mod Perl, wasnt sure if it work at all.

Tim - Double-check that you edited the cp.cgi file correctly.

In control panel? Did you add the follow lines in cp.cgi:

code:

No, this hack is only mod_perl compatible but doesn't require it.

Yup, I got:

if (($ubb eq 'set_vars_display') && ($status eq 'Administrator')) {
&set_vars_display; exit;
} #end set_vars_display

if (($ubb eq 'vars_server_load') && ($status eq 'Administrator')) {
&view_vars("server_load"); exit;
} #end vars_server_load

if (($ubb eq 'set_vars_server_load') && ($status eq 'Administrator')) {
require "$vars_config{CGIPath}/cp_server_load.cgi";
&set_server_load; exit;
} #end set_server_load

Ill clear cache or something

Reuploaded everything and now when I click it, it just refreshes page and theres nothing there, but the words "Date & Time Settings". Everything else still seems to work.... Ill recheck my hacking, I usually never have a problem, so I am missing something small.

Thanks for any help you can give.

Update: Now redid whole hack from scratch, same problem.

Seems obvious, but you did upload the files contained in the zip and chmoded them correctly right?

You know, thats the first thing that comes to mind and I think I forgot to chmod them... Damn, all the hacks ive installed and I finally did that. Im sure I upload ascii, forgot permissions.

Ok, this sucks, thanks man!

Nope, tried 777 and 775, its not mentioned in the read me what to set them at.

Guess ill give up

Wait wait, try this.

CHMOD the ones in the CGI-BIN folder to 755.

CHMOD the ones in the TEMPLATES folder to 777 (even though it shouldn't matter).

CHMOD the file in the VARIABLES folder to 777.

See what happens.

No go, shouldnt matter, I run everything from one directory (cgi-bin) rather then a seperate cgi-bin directory. Anyhow, getting late so I quit for now

Thanks for the assist.

Did you upload cp_vars_server_load.pl into your template folder?

everything seems ok, but "your current load" doesn't display anything ???

i'm wrong anywhere ?

Is your board on a dedicated server?

euhhhh... what do you mean with dedicated server ?

my board is on hypermart or virtualave

does this hack work on such servers ?

Should. Hypermart and Virtualave are on UNIX.

But they prolly don't support mod_perl....

This hack doesnt REQUIRE mod_perl.

Possibly missed it, the file names wrong in instructions or something, theres no cp_vars_server_load.pl mentioned in directions, unless ones ot assume, but ill check it out:

First you need to upload the follow files:
cgi-bin/cp_server_load.cgi -> To your UBB CGI directory
cgi-bin/ubb_server_load.cgi -> To your UBB CGI directory
variables/vars_server_load.cgi -> To your variables folder
variables/vars_wordlets_load.cgi -> To your variables folder
Templates/cp_server_load.cgi -> To your template folder

He mislabeled the template file .cgi instead of .pl in the directions, but it is .pl in the zip.

Yup and I somehow didnt read it properly and theres the problem.

Working like a charm now.

Thanks all.

This hack is mainly for dedicated servers (=your own server) and not for virtual accounts.

Sorry Tim. Just updated the instructions.

BTW ask Ben to install mod_perl on the server because UBB6 runs much faster under mod_perl

Phillip,

Called Ben, turns out we ARE already using mod_perl.

No prob on the instructions, I do everything one step at a time and I knew something was wrong, I was confused and could not figure out why!!! But, you know me, love to install them beta hacks
