Tried that.

Made it worse!

WITH the # there I had this:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Fri, 13 Oct 2000 00:55:15 GMT Server: Microsoft-IIS/5.0 Content-type: text/html

I removed it and got this:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK Content-type: text/html

The funny thing is, that in my regular active.cgi that I run for my last 50 doesn't do that...of course it's not being called via SSI.

I'm stumped as to why calling it via SSI in an shtml page causes this.

If you like check Scriptkeeper.com and search the hacking forum for Grablatest by (Ted(not ted) Don't laugh that's his username. I use it, it's easy, plus it shows the forum name.. check here Right hand column

I tried that script as well.

I have 28 active forums, and i actually prefer the active.cgi script because it gives a teaser of what the topic/article is about.

I'd use grablatest if I knew how to get it to only show the last 5-10 posts in the entire site and the "teaser" aspect....but just the same, I had the same problem when i tried it as well.

Could someone please help me?

It looks like your webserver host might have SSI set up wrong... see what they have to say...

Could this be happening because I made the host page with Front Page, and I'm running it on a NON Front Page Extensions-enabled server?

good stuff

We change it to "active.cgi" and then set the permissions, correct? What are the right permissions?

Okay. I grabbed the active.txt file, and saved in my ubb directory as active.cgi. I CHMOD to 755 (even 777). I am still getting a 500 error. I changed the $digest to 3, and try calling it via SSI, and it still doesn't work. Am I missing something? I ran perl -c /cgi-bin/ubb/active.cgi and it reports the syntax in active.cgi is correct. What did I do wrong? SSI is working fine, as is the forums themselves.

I am sure you have checked this, but sometimes it's the little things we overlook. Your path to perl is correct?

I ask this, because active.cgi is pretty much stand-alone as long as you check perl paths, upload in ascii, and set permissions to 755...

Yeah, path to Perl is fine. It's running on one of my Unix boxes. Just can't seem to get it to work.....

Ok, I am obviously doing something wrong. I've dropped this into 4 different installations - 3 of which were 5.45c, and one brand new, unhacked 5.47c. All I've done is copied the text to a file called active.cgi, sent it to the cgi directory that UBB is in (ASCII mode), and CHMOD to 755. Even tried CHMOD to 777 and got nothing on any of the installations - all give 500 errors. Path to Perl is correct, and the forums do work fine.

I'm missing a step here (and probably a clue). My kingdom to anyone who can help.
