UBB doesn't like Apache :(

[A_Lawn_GNOME]

Anyone ever try to get the free version of UBB running on their distro? This is driving me nuts.

First, you need to uninstall mod_perl because it absolutely won't run with that.

Second you need to get Apache to use /usr/bin/perl. Do they tell you how to do this? No, they have this cheap out "Ask your system administrator." Hello? Personal Linux box!!!

So my prob is that I can't figure out how to get Apache to use /usr/bin/perl .

Here's the errors, etc etc:
error_log:

I can access the control panel fine but the General Settings link gives an "Internal Server Error".

[Fri Jan 12 16:32:58 2001] [error] (2)No such file or directory: exec of /var/www/cgi-bin/cpanel.cgi failed
[Fri Jan 12 16:32:58 2001] [error] [client 130.215.228.55] Premature end of script headers: /var/www/cgi-bin/cpanel.cgi

The permissions are set correctly and scripts run fine from the CLI. Other non-ubb scripts run fine through Apache.

Infopop doesn't give any clue other than "Don't use mod_perl".

I have a vague indication that there's a line I need to put in /etc/httpd/conf/srm.conf. Only prob is www.apache.org (http://www.apache.org) is light on docs and their search function blows.

Btw, this is RH7.0 w/ Apache 1.3.something.

What distro was that?

We have a SPARCstation 10 running our server with Solaris.

First of all, i would say try www.ikonboard.com (http://www.ikonboard.com) . it has all the functionality of the full version of UBB (and i think it is just as fast)but its completely free, and is also a thousand times more customizable. a new version is about to come out as well.

don't know if it'll help with your problem or not, though.
