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

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:
https://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.

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:

[Linked Image]

Any ideas or suggestions would be excellent

thanks,

William

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: https://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 smile

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
Quote
quote:
FYI
You are trying to upload something with an illegal extentsion. The currently allowed are: .jpg, gif, and you tried to upload a file(s).
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

The server is windows 2003
I installed a fresh unhacked copy of UBB.classicâ„¢ 6.7.2 in a seperate folder
before I installed this mod.

Update
I installed the old version of the upload hack and even though the control panel form is hosed it works fine so I don't think it is a server file permission. Is there something I can check in the vars files between the two versions? or possibly the new upload cgi file?

Duh!
That works. I thought the link you provided fixed it all.
So uploader 6.7.3 fixed the control panel and the windows version uploader.cgi script fixed the upload problem.
Thank you!
Now my new problem I will post in the new members forum.
I turned on the custom avatars option and it does not appear to work, even on the unhacked board.
Thank you again Allen

Is there a way to allow specific users a different Maximum # Of Files instead of the group option?

For example, I want member 00000387 to be able to upload 10 files rather than his group's 5 files max.

(Please ignore this post, I was attempting to use infor there to do what I wanted and it didn't work out. I should have paid attention to where I was.)

I don't know if these threads are still monitored but I've got few options so here goes.

I'm trying to install this, going through my cgi-bin adding code as described in the install notes. Now it's asking me to find a file named cp2_forums2.cgi

There is no such file. I'm using UBB classic 6.7.1

Don't think it's beta. Can I skip this file? If not, what do I do?

Thanks you much,

Shant

Okay Shant you should see this in the topic you posted in. So It appears that it was a typo in the instructions.
In lieu of cp2_forums2.cgi.
Probably was due to a older version of classic used the 2 file or a older version of this mod had a 2 file.

See,All I needed was to figure out what mod you were using. If you read the 10 pages on this topic you will see it.
Good luck!

OK, now I've run into the "infamous" 404 error thing. I thought I did everything right. All the new options show up in the control panel.

What should 'upload path' and 'upload' url be set to? Should they both be in url format?

Also, I've read throughout the thread mention made to a file named ubb_upload.cgi

There is no such file in my cgi-bin. I tried the link in this thread to re-upload it, it's dead.

Okay first the file ubb_upload.cgi is in the zip file you downloaded. You need to upload that to the ubb directory.
As far as paths and urls. look in your control panel for a clue on what you path and url is to your forum.
url will be something like http://www.yoursite.com/cgi_bin/ubb
Path will look something like /home/public_html/cgi_bin/ubb
I am assuming you are on a linux host. If you are on windows then your path will be formatted a little different.
Like I said look in your ubb control panel for what your board path&url settings are now and just copy them and adjust them if needed.

I just down loaded the link here and it works fine. Maybe something was down at the time.

Ah yes you're right, as usual, the file was in the zip I downloaded. It was another link I tried on page 2 or 3 that failed.

OK, so I uploaded it to the ubb directory, no effect. I uploaded it to the cgi-bin. Now I get another error:

"Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /cgi-bin/ubb_upload.cgi on this server."

All the permissions and what not have been set properly in the "primary settings" tab at the control panel. Every field has been filled in the upload settings tab.

Is this a server issue? Are we talking about the server my host uses?

Did you chmod the file 755? A forbidden error would generally be spewed due to server-side permissions on files.
