Removed them all and it still backs up everything else but the Attachments and Avatars. Was all good before the upgrade. Not the end of the world as I can go in and zip them up every now and then but I just hate it when things don’t work as they should. IP Logged

Try removing those folders from the backup list. (in cPanel you can zip those folders from the file manager.) BTW, after the last upgrade here I can't use the yabb backup at all. It starts but never actually starts. No error but no status popup, no backup lock, nothing. Perfection is not possible. Excellence, however, is excellent. WWW IP Logged

If you're very very lucky, you might come across one who has actually worked with Perl and has a clue OR had another client with similar problems. Just sayin' Perfection is not possible.

Code (Perl) use lib 'usr/lib/perl5'; In theory, this should get you CGI.pm and allow you to uncomment that diagnostic line that uses CGI::Carp. Perfection is not possible.

With your suggestion regarding change. Here is the top of my YaBB.pl file. Where exactly should it go and should I do it in any other files. Code ### Version Info ### $YaBBversion = 'YaBB 2.5 AE'; $YaBBplver = 'YaBB 2.5 AE $Revision: 1.23 $'; if ($action eq 'detailedversion') { return 1; } # use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser); # used only for tests BEGIN { # Make sure the module path is present push(@INC, "./Modules"); Thank you so much IP Logged

The place you found the file isn't in the list that the Perl being used by YaBB uses to find Modules. So if you have someone helping you, CGI.pm needs to be imported into one of the locations in the @INC list. You can try to copy CGI.pm directly into the YaBB Modules folder. But that may not work if there are other Modules CGI.pm needs and you don't have. But the people helping you with admin should be able to get it imported into one of the locations your other add-on Modules are in. OR you can add the location of the CGI.pm file to the @INC list: near the tob of the YaBB.pl file, before anything is called add: Code (Perl) use lib 'location of perl'; Obviously, use the correct location.

It can be installed as an add-on module (It's installed like that here.) On cPanel you can add Perl modules and CGI.pm should be in the available list. Perfection is not possible.

Once again a host server upgrade and back to the same issue where trying to post a new message throws up a 500 error. Different this time though as my Admin Panel is throwing up a perl error for CGI saying that CGI.pm is not available. To my knowledge from searching the net CGI.pm has been removed as a perl module. They are running Perl Version: 5.26.3 Anyone with any ideas? Code Information provided by the system: Can't locate CGI.pm in @INC (you may need to install the CGI module) (@INC contains: /home/aussiec1/public_html/cgi-bin/yabb2 /usr/local/lib64/perl5 /usr/local/share/perl5 /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib64/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 ./Modules) at (eval 9) line 1. « Last Edit: Jan 11th, 2025 at 8:41am by Derek Bullock » IP Logged

I am still running my 2.5 AE version and while I know this is maybe not relevant to the newer versions hoping you can help Today whenever I am trying to make a post I am getting the following error. Any idea what that may be?? I have asked the server to look at it but not confident they know anything about YaBB.
