@XTC - Perl 5.24 should have behaved okay without the need for adding back the '.' BUT, who knows if the host actually installed all the required libraries or set a security setting to something odd.

In terms of the Setup -Pyragony and I got it to the point where it was supposed to write the cookies list to Variables but it didn't have permission to actually write to the file - which points to a folder/file ownership or permissions issue.

Hallo

Hatte das Problem auch.....

Füge mal in der Setup.pl, YaBB.pl und AndminIndex.pl z.b nach ....

use warnings; 

.... dies hinzu

use lib '.'; 

lg XTC

Perl 5.24 should have installed with all but one required Perl Module and that is CGI.pm which is used for file uploads.

Any other modules that might be missing are for optional functions.

The fact that changing folder permissions did not fix the write problem indicates a server misconfiguration such as folders being 'owned' by the wrong entity or some other issue.

BTW. 2.6.11 is going to have deprecated code issues in Perl 5.24.
2.6.12 should not have those issues.

Edited:

Okay, did not work either. Now the question? Which Apache modules need to be activated in Plesk. The new server no longer has all the modules that we have with the old one. More and more people are leaving Perl and soon there will not be any more servers offering Perl. We even had to install mod_perl ourselves. Otherwise, you can not do much wrong in Plesk.

PS: At the weekend I look again at the German files for 2.7. I translated almost everything, even the help files. Have to see what happened last year, when I was not there, everything.

Are the folder permissions for the Variables folder set to 755? (Maybe they need to be set to 777. If so, then all the YaBB folders will need to be set to 777.)

(Setup.pl did manage to 'open to write' the cook.txt file but couldn't write to it.)

BTW, if you have to set the folders to 777, that indicates a server misconfiguration that may keep you from running Wordpress or anything else that writes to the server.

That's good

require "$script_root/Sources/Subs.pm";
 require "$script_root/Sources/System.pm";
 require "$script_root/Sources/Load.pm";
 require "$script_root/Sources/DateTime.pm"; 

but next

Okay - I can't get my 2.6.11 Setup.pl to fail in the way described BUT you might try finding:

require Sources::Subs; 

and replacing it with

require "$script_root/Sources/Subs.pm"; 

I know the above issue cropped up in 2.7 early on.

Edited:

To test the new server, I have 2.6.11 loaded. I would also like to have cPanel, but our server operator does not offer that.

Are you using 2.6.11 Setup.pl or or 2.6.12 Setup.pl?

2.6.11 uses './' as a pointer to to YaBB's home directory and newer versions of Perl have that turned off so Setup.pl can't find anything it needs.

I'll get back on a fix, assuming I can get MY server to throw the same error.

Personally, I prefer cPanel - it normally comes with Perl installed.

The next garbage on the neck.
I want to switch to a new server.
On the current server I have public-html and cgi-bin separated in the root. There was no problem with a installation here. This does not work for the new server. Here the cgi-bin must be installed in the public html. Looks like this: public_html ---> cgi.bin. The forum can not be started so.

Is not that a good joke? Although Plesk is programmed in Perl, we had to install Perl ourselves. Most of the modules that Yabb needs are missing. So whether I keep the new server depends on whether the problem can be solved.
