@ Derek Bullock

Please excuse the late message, I'm not here that often anymore. I don't just believe it, I know it. YaBB 2.6.12 works with all Linux versions, best with Debian and Ubuntu. I can't say anything about other Linux versions or Microsoft Windows Server. You don't have to lose any mods either. As you probably noticed, JetLi deleted all board mods after his inglorious departure. So if you have any old mods that we're missing, post them here. Dandello will definitely adapt them if asked. It shouldn't be a problem.

If you have any problems, I'm happy to take over the installation. I'm a professional when it comes to servers.

And what I forgot is that if you have a V-server without root access, you won't be able to upgrade Perl. That requires root rights. That only works with a root server or dedicated server. Otherwise the provider would have to do it and they usually don't.

A friend and I have created a sitemap generator for YaBB, which I will publish soon.

To describe it in more detail. All versions of YaBB 2.5.x only work with operating systems up to Debian 9. From Debian 10 onwards you need the current version of YaBB 2.6.12.
I have not tested other operating systems based on Linux. Perl does not need to be updated because of this, but make sure that "CGI" is installed. "CGI" is no longer included in the Perl kernel.


Hi, do you think an upgrade to 2.6.12 would fix the issues I am facing as outlined at https://yabbforumsoftware.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1700262868/

Is doing upgrade an easy process as it used to be.

I know I will lose my template colours and mods.

Thanks

Ok, so it was simpler than I expected to sort this out, I uploaded more recent versions of Adminindex.pl, YaBB.pl and Subs.pm from //sourceforge.net/p/yabb/svn/2057/tree/branches/2.6.12/cgi-bin/yabb2/ and now the site works again!
Thanks to dandello2000 for the updates!  Smiley

Kmownhost upgraded our server system from CloudLinux 7 to CloudLinux 8 and at the same time upgraded Perl to 5.26, which seems to have broken our YaBB forum. I assume some YaBB modules will need updating, but which ones?
The current Software error is:
Unescaped left brace in regex is illegal here in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/ { <-- HERE yabbbr} / at ./Sources/Subs.pm line 1865.
