Installing YaBB? its not working...

gman · Guest

well...
I have the 'perl' version of YaBB which I tried installing. I get a 500 error. I followed your instructions and everything.
Is it something dealing with my set-up?
I have all my things in the correct order so I don't see what should be wrong? :?
Well... if you can respond, thanks. It would be great if you had experience setting YaBB up too :D

flock() unimplemented on this platform at ./Sources/Subs.pl line 862.
Thats what it said in my logs. Does this mean I can't use the . statement in my urls?

Sorry about this, I've never set up a message board before :(

You need mysql yup... just download it and extract it into your abys dir, then start winmysqladmin.exe and when u see the green stosign in the taskbar everything is fine, just change ur pass, but it´ll probably as that upon first start

gman, you can disable flock in the script just look for the line with flock and disable it with 1 or 0 and everything will be fine :)

lorgoose out (ps. yabb doesnt need mysql and yabb se does!) :D

Yep, but with yabb, the cgi version you have to chmod a lot, chomdding is difficult without ftp support, so when ur going local yabb, take yabb SE, u don´t want mysql database and you like chmodding forever ánd u have a webhost somewhere else.. fine, take the cgi vreson :D

Thanks, I'll try turning off flock and then I hope I won't get a 500 error then :)

I changed all the $use_flock == 1 to $use_flock == 0
Now I get this error:
Can't locate .Sources/Subs.pl in @INC (@INC contains: C:/Perl/lib C:/Perl/site/lib .) at yabb.pl line 35.

this is the only line with @inc in it:
@INC,$yypath

And the includes look all right to me as well.
### Requirements and Errors ###
use CGI qw(header cookie); # so we can use the header and cookie printing
$CGI::HEADERS_ONCE = 1; # Kill redundant headers
require "Settings.pl";
require "$language";
require "$sourcedir/Subs.pl";
require "$sourcedir/Load.pl";
require "$sourcedir/Security.pl";

Thats what they should be, isn't it? :?

I was gettin frustated with it myself trying different settings on different things. You talk like you are running the server from your home like i am. in the end the problem turned out to be the directory (where its put www.mysite.com /yabb) I needed to just change that to "localhost instead of a www address. In the end it was simple! looks good and cant wait to use it but still need to add a mail server.

also is there a way not to use a ail server as the website will only be accessable by 15 or less ppl? can I edit one of the files in the members directory and add the user/pass myself?
