This means u do not have the mega mod installed.

Or install the mega mod first or use the install.txt i just posted.

File needs to be chmodded 755; as for the other, see twslex's post.

For those of u who also are having problems with big file uploads.

i have modified the php code of JUpload to match the users/<number> as used in ubb_upload.cgi

feel free to ask for it.

Getting closer.

Fixed the files according to the post from twslex and chmodded per Gizzy.

Reuploaded everything.

Then I got the error:
Can't locate /vars_misc.cgi in @INC (@INC contains: ./Modules .

This error was mentioned in this thread earlier and Alan Thompson found a fix described in:
http://www.ubbdev.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/33/168/8.html#000113

Found that line in ubb_upload.cgi and fixed it and reuploaded.

Now when I click the Upload File Form link I get an error of:
No such file or directory at ubb_upload.cgi line 219.

My line 219 of ubb_upload says:
mkdir($vars_misc{'upload_dir'}, SEVENSEVENSEVEN) or die $!;

I have no idea what that means so I started looking at the CP.

I changed the directory path and then got past that error. It then allowed me to browse for a file on my hard drive and 'upload' it. But when I go to view the file it's not in the directory it points me to and the file doesn't actually exist in the directory it says it is in.

Did I miss something obvious?

I'm off the cold medication so this should be easier I would think.

It sounds like you have the directory not set correctly.... you've got to set it correctly in your control panel.

you are correct sir!
you folks rule

with everyones help here I was able to get this wonderful modification up and running.

the latest problem was indeed an improperly set directory. I had it as ubbuploads and it created that directory for me in my cgi directory. course when i tried to access those files from the link provided after uploading it never gave me the right picture, file whatever. so when i changed the directory to ../html/ubbuploads it worked flawlessly

thanks again everyone. couldn't have done it without everyones help.

Hi,

I've tried installing this on my UBB 6.7.3 but I keep getting 500 Internal Server Error when clicking on the Upload Form link. If I try to execute the file ubb_upload from the shell in linux, i get the error 'bad interpreter : no such file or directory'. i've changed the perl link in the top line btw to match what's in ultimatebb.cgi.

Sounds more like either a permissions issue with the upload folder or the url/path to it is not set correctly.

Well, I set the uploads directory in the control panel and I set permissions for that directory to 777 but I get the same error (500 internal server error and bad interpreter on the command line). I looked through the ubb_upload.cgi script and it looks like there's error handling for the lack of upload directory so would it crash like that ?

hmmm... what size file are you uploading? Server limitations may be throwing the error.

You might try 755 as well, some server setups do not like 777 on directories and will automagically default them to something lower.

Well, I cannot even get to the upload stage. This is the error I get when clicking on the 'Upload Form' link at the side of the post. Server permissions are definitely ok. I've tried 755 and 777. This is all on a Linux box btw.

possibly the file is corrupt then? You might try uploading a fresh copy...

Happy belated New Years!

Unfortunately I lack the time to read this thread in its entirety. But I noticed a slight problem and would like to resolve it.

Uploads work fine and per limits set in Control Panel until you edit a users account for any reason. Upon entering a users profile in control panel the "Do Not Allow Uploads" is checked and saved (unless I make it a point to recheck the "Use Default Group Settings".

Where would I fix this to always allow Group Settings ?

Thanks!

Hey all. We're having problems similar to the ones mentioned but I'm having a difficult time following the thread to determine what our solution should be.

Here is our Messageboard:

http://talk.insidemotorsportskc.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi

When we try to update the control panel we get the following:

Form validation errors:

: You did not enter a value for this field
: You did not enter a value for this field

I saw the earlier post about blank fields and I think I've got it covered. Here is the set up in our control panel:



Any ideas or suggestions would be excellent

thanks,

would adding extensions in the regular files box fix it?

txt


for instance.

I gave that a try and it is still giving me the same error.

Is the zip file listed at the beginning of this thread updated to include the various suggestions throughout? The updates listed throughout the thread are now broken links.

It SHOULD be, however most authors make a comment stating "File updated to reflect changes", if there hasn't been any such post then it may not; and your only bet then would be to pm the author, if they're still around.

I am having the same problem as SPIDERtel
using ver 6.72. It looks like the insertion of the menu items has corrupted the form. If you look at the un-hacked page and compare it to the hacked page you will notice that some of the form items are either missing or out of order.
You will need to expand the advanced list to compare them.

Here's the current files with all bugs I could find within the topic fixed: http://www.ubbdev.com/ubb/upload/00000494/Uploader6.7.3.zip

It was just 1-2 buglets, I was hoping to make sure there weren't any missed. Brett, feel free to check it out and update the original post with your checked files

Ruben, this has been tested on 6.7.2 and 6.7.3, should work for you.

I tried the new file and most of the form fields in the control panel are correct now but I can't upload a file . The field in the control panel for regular file types I put in jpg but the field remains yellow when submitted.
When I try to upload a jpg file I get I checked the vars_misc file and the type is listed. Also it made a folder with the user number in the correct location but the file was not there.

I have tried .jpg jpg JPG no luck for allowed file types
