Okay - Is the yabbfiles folder outside of the cgi-bin? (It belongs outside the cgi-bin) and do you have the correct path to it? The path should be something on the order of:

$htmldir = '/home/XXXXXX/public_html/yabbfiles'; 

Depending how the server is set up, and

$yyhtml_root = 'http://XXXXXXXXX.com/yabbfiles'; 

The code in Paths.pm should automatically detect if you're using https

Tried to install new forum version 2.7
The path to  folder yabbfiles is set correctly, but the forum is in black and white, and doesn't want to pick up the file default.css

Is there any progress with 2.7?

Is it now bug free? It's so quiet here and I'd like to know if the 2.7 version that's out now is bug-free.

When I tried to test email settings, nothing saved so I can't test any email settings.

My suspicion is that the not-saving settings is a big part of the problem - and I'm  sure there's an issue with ExtendedProfiles in your Settings.pm

Sorry Dandelo, I have to disagree with you. It works via UNIX, Linux, BSD and via the YaBB engine. Only with PERL it doesn't work. I updated the PERL modules today, which didn't help either. Fact: Everything is entered correctly.
Go to the test page and try it yourself.
https://yabbtest.de/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl

You know your login data and you also have admin rights.
This will be better than if I write.

Okay - that mailer error is telling you that your SMTP credentials could not be verified - either the password isn't right or the user name isn't right (or possibly the port number isn't right.)

For the ExtendedProfiles error we need to look at Variables/Settings.pm to see if the problem is there.

Registration gone through, known error appears.

more checks.

Unfortunately didn't work. Same error message

Can't reproduce the issue so: in Register.pm find

        for (@reglist) {
             @x = split /[|]/xsm;
             if ( $reguser eq $x[2] ) { fatal_error('already_preregged'); }
             if ( lc $member{'email'} eq lc $x[4] ) {
                 fatal_error('email_already_preregged');
             }
         } 

and make it

         for (@reglist) {
             @x = split /[|]/xsm;
             if ( $reguser && $reguser eq $x[2] ) { fatal_error('already_preregged'); }
             if ( $member{'email'} && lc $member{'email'} eq lc $x[4] ) {
                 fatal_error('email_already_preregged');
             }
         } 

This will double check that the variables being checked have true values.

I don't think we understand each other properly. The error only occurs when I try to send the test mail to myself. The test mail is not sent either.

But a new mistake.

Net::SMTP now needs the correct port number (so try 127.0.0.1:25 which should match what the 2.6 code used. Here it's ':587')

It doesn't work for me in the test forum. But it works with Anti-Scam. The same error message. I updated the PERL module. No effect. For security reasons I want to use the PERL module. When I was using the YaBB engine, I kept getting on the XBL blacklist and couldn't send mail. It stopped with the PERL module. If Net::SMTPS doesn't work, then get rid of it altogether.

Pieszyce has an error in his Dutch translation that causes an error in the Date::Time. But he has to look for it himself. I don't have time for that. I want to get as many translations as possible. I will also send my two Russian children on the march. When YaBB 2.7 is finished, it will probably be the last. I'm getting too old for that too. Nonetheless, thank you for your work on behalf of everyone. If you want to go to the test forum, do it so you can see the bugs if you don't see them. If you need something, say it.

And Mailer.pm

Mailer & Smtp.pm edits - As I posted earlier, the Net::SMTPS doesn't work here - I think it's due to a problem with the required Perl Module. The YaBB SMTP Engine no long throws errors when used BUT it doesn't send email either (at least here).

(And I just got NET::SMTPS to work - will upload later - but it looks like it's a redundant option since NET::SMTP does exactly the same same thing.
