It's no 279,014 is it?

I keep getting an Internal Server Error. I uploaded everything into the correct directories, CHMODDed everything correctly, and whenever I try to access I get an internal server error. I've never gotten this error before, and I don't get it with the boards, I don't know what went wrong

EDIT: I ported it to css, but can't tell if that worked yet.

go to your error log and paste the error please

I just installed it on a new site the way prescribed and it works fine... how's it going for you?

from within

make sure you have the latest modules uploaded... I believe that is part of the ubbcgi.pm file

Allen, You're The Greatest!!!!!

where would I get this? I read the contents of ubbcgi.pm and it said to get an updated version, go to http://stein.cshl.org/WWW/software/CGI/ do I just download it and rename it ubbcgi.pm?

My version is 2.56 and the latest cgi.pm is 2.93.

Are they the sae thing? If not, where do I get it?

make sure you've uploaded all files from your Modules directory

I do have them all uploaded, I even reuploaded all of them fresh from the 6.5 zip

did you try to install it without 'porting it to css'?

yeah, of course. I uploaded files straight from the zip, chmodded the cgi files to 755, and the rest into the noncgi/games folder

Don't worry about it though, I noticed something more important in my error logs that I'm gonna work on now.

Cool it works - Just what I need - more stress

weird, I commented out the one line and now have a fully functional games hack.

*goes off to ask LK importance of line*

cool

my next goal will be a setting to allow or disallow guests from viewing/playing

that would be awesome, I wanted to request it, but wanted to get it to work first

Try to uncomment the line you commented out (or just remove the "#" ), and in games.cgi, find:
(untested)

thanks LK I'll add that to the base code tonight in case others run into the same problem

no, it's not the best solution, because if it's in the base code you should remove "use CGI qw(:standard);" and change the line with $q = something with CGI. but I'm not sure how to change it and I can't test, so I said to add below... (which might cause a conflict and not work, I don't know)
