I would have upgraded if I knew how to without loosing hacks, Never bothered to ask, Now is a good time...Tell me!

demo?

I would like a demo of how to do it...

Where can i download or see this update ?

So what's the most of my worries then?

I see no worries at all. I'm sorry, but I have two reasons not to upgrade to V6.

1. The loss of hacks
2. The increased amount of datatraffic. My ISP would kill my board immediately.

Has anyone figured out the problem above yet? I have followed the instructions step by step and cannot open the "admin.cgi" in the browser at all.

I am on a UNIX server and am running Ultimate Bulletin Board Version 5.45c.

Thanks ahead of time.

I'm going to try Install this hack tonight and If I do it sucessfully I might be able to help.

I can't get the admin.cgi to appear... all the scripts are chmod correctly and the folders too...

http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~madden/ubb/Ubbpoll/admin.cgi

hmmm...I have this hack installed (it's currently disabled), and I don't remember running into any problems. It was really easy from what I remember because the whole thing runs pretty much independant of the ubb.

I've added a ton of different mods no problem, but this one... I've deleted and uploaded again twice now and the admin.cgi just won't work

I have got admin.cgi to work so Please post the error messages you get and Then I'll be able to help.

here's the URL...
http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~madden/ubb/Ubbpoll/admin.cgi

and here's what the error message is...
Internal Server Error

Apache/1.3.20 Server at dynamic.gamespy.com Port 80

I tried two different things with admin.cgi..
1. the first was using the file as it is, without altering anything (the atom911 version I believe)
2. the second was something I read in the Readme file that came with a modified version of the poll that I downloaded...


this was the modified by Onkel Tom version (http://www.hayabusa.de)

Any help would be appreciated... thanks a ton !

I still havent finished the Poll hack. But are you on a Unix or a Windowns server?

I am having the exact same problem.. I have set up many mods as well as some of my own so I am not a novice by any means. But when I try to access the admin.cgi I get this error:

Internal Server Error

Apache/1.3.12 Server at c1003.gigahosts.com Port 80

any suggestions?

OK what readme did you follow? Is your servers unix or Windows_NT. That might be the problem.

unix and I dont think I could follow the instructions any closer. Its something in the admin.cgi file that my server doesnt like.

Did you follow the "unix" readme properly? Did you make all the changes in Functions.pl and Ulbpoll.setup? Did you put in the cpanel2.cgi addon?

I just followed the setup process in the readme file... I didn't get as far as altering cpanel2.cgi, cuz admin.cgi didn't work which it should have by that stage. The alterations I made where in the path to my perl, and the absolute path to my ubb which I know is correct because my ubb is working *(so it must be). I'm on a unix server with mods such as private mail already working fine, so I can't get this one figured out at all.

You need to install the cpanel2.cgi addon before admin.cgi will work or the paths will be all wrong. Make sure you did the path in Functions.pl too.

I know, working with a UBB5.4X seems like being back in the dark ages, but I STILL can't get this darn poll script to work.

Could someone who has a working version please send over their copies of the modified essential scripts (I'm talking about admin.cgi, functions.pl, poll.cgi, etc.) so at least I have a set that I know are working on someone else's server, and then only have to change the path_to parts correctly for my Unix server.

HELP...

oh yea, my email. andy@sportplanet.com
