Stick the line below the
Code (Perl)
Select All
$YaBBplver = 'YaBB 2.5 AE $Revision: 1.23 $';

line.
Code (Perl)
Select All
 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.

Wow, copied it into the Modules folder and now able to post messages again but I get the 500 error with images attached.

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
Select All
 ### 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

Okay, I only know cPanel and that uses a number of different places to stash Perl Modules. 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)
Select All
 use lib 'location of perl';

Obviously, use the correct location.

CGI.pm has removed as an automatically included module. 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.

Well I am back again.  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
Select All
 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.

Can I help you, I'll do an upgrade straight away. To do this I need admin rights and FTP access. Repairing YaBB forums is now standard practice for me.

This is not an error from the server. The server operator cannot help you with this.


Sorry it has taken me so long to get back.

I wasn’t aware that they had moved my forum to a different server.  Only noticed when emails stopped coming through.

After a month of back and forwards with the server admin people it has now been fixed although they are unable to tell me how.

Many thanks for the offer Pyragony but will not update yet as I like as it is.

Thanks again.

Can anyone help.  My server admins are struggling.

As weird as it sounds I can make a new post or reply to a post in my Global Announcements and Recycle boards but nowhere else.

Really odd.

Hi Dandello

Seems the old Yabbforum has gone so no help there.

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.

Thanks
