Place the directories in their proper place - yabbfiles on the same level as the cgi-bin and yabb2 inside the cgi-bin.<br /><br />Make sure setup.pl, yabb.pl and admin.pl are CHMOdded to 755. Also Convert2x.pl<br />Run setup.pl - that will tell you what required Perl mods are missing.<br /><br />Once Setup has successfully run, You should get a prompt to run the converter.<br /><br />The converter as not been tested on the most recent Perl. If you get errors, save the error text and we can do fixes.<br /><br />If your old forum was working you'd copy BoardConvert.pl into your OLD yabb2 folder and run it from there on your OLD forum to get a converted forum.control.<br /><br />Since your old forum isn't working, you can't. Which means your boards may be messed up on converting. These CAN be fixed by hand.<br /><br /> https://yabbforumsoftware.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1730896298/0#0 YaBB Development & Mods/Test Zone https://yabbforumsoftware.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1730896298/0#0 no-email@yabbforumsoftware.com (Nahmeshalino) Wed, 6 Nov 2024 12:31:38 GMT hafa https://yabbforumsoftware.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1728083209/1#1 YaBB Development & Mods/General Board https://yabbforumsoftware.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1728083209/1#1 no-email@yabbforumsoftware.com (RonS2) Tue, 8 Oct 2024 11:30:08 GMT Anybody have an idea what the problem may be? https://yabbforumsoftware.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1727962907/3#3 YaBB Development & Mods/General Board https://yabbforumsoftware.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1727962907/3#3 no-email@yabbforumsoftware.com (RonS2) Fri, 4 Oct 2024 23:03:08 GMT <a href="https://yabbforumsoftware.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1727962907/1#1">Dandello wrote</a> on Oct 3^rd, 2024 at 3:22pm:<br /><div id="7F7A7377701E00">Ron has a version of 2.5 that is currently working.

I reworked a forum some time ago. Unfortunately, the Unix timestep was not converted. The old forums still work with the date. YYYY.MM.DD. The new forums use the ten-digit Unix timestep. So a lot of rework is necessary. Since this forum is very large, it is a lot of work.<br />Here is the forum in question:<br /><br /><a href="https://www.poemtrain2.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl" target="_blank">https://www.poemtrain2.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl</a><br /><br />The timestep has to be done manually, however, otherwise all members are shown as ex-members.<br /><br />Give me the link to your forum and I'll take a quick look at it. https://yabbforumsoftware.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1721327077/2#2 YaBB Development & Mods/General Board https://yabbforumsoftware.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1721327077/2#2 no-email@yabbforumsoftware.com (Fingers) Thu, 18 Jul 2024 22:13:08 GMT site works great thanks. just need to add a "Board".
