Good evening,
The Active Topics hack is a great idea and I'm sure when I get it working I'll love it.
However I messed something up. Maybe you all can help.
I am running my site and ubb (Version 6.04d) on a unix box. Yesterday and the day before I tried to install Active Topics v1.8d. I have checked and double checked the code that I needed to edit and also the file permissions of the new and edited files and I believe all that be be set up correctly.
The URL to my site is
http://www.doghause.com/. The UBB should be at
http://doghause.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi but since I did the hack, it (ultimatebb.cgi and cp.cgi) just won't work. I get Error 500.
I feel a little out of my element as I am an html coder and not really a programmer. If anyone can offer
any help, I'd appreciate it. Mostly what I am looking for is either the magic answer that tells me what I most likely did or a way to test cgi to see where things are going wrong.
Thank you for reading this and thanks in advance if you care to help.
Holly
PS I noticed one weird issue. In the text doc that is included in the zip file that among other things lists what
files to upload, one file it lists is called ubb_active_topics.pl but the file included is ubb_active_topics.cgi. I tried
renaming ubb_active_topics.cgi to ubb_active_topics.pl but that didn't solve any problems. What is it
supposed to be? pl or cgi? Maybe I should look for references to ubb_active_topics.pl in the other docs... I'm so
lost.
