All good now! IP Logged

I no longer have the ability to test Perl code and I don't have access to a copy of YaBB.pl 2.5AE However what has happened is Perl no longer automatically recognizes the location of the file it's executing as its 'script_root'. That has to be set explicitly. Ron has a version of 2.5 that is currently working. So maybe he can post a copy of his YaBB.pl for you to look at. Perfection is not possible.

We don't technically use it anymore except for references and nostalgia but now I get an internal 500 error when trying to access it. My host told me this: The error message suggests that the script is looking for Paths.pl in a directory that's not part of the current Perl include path (@INC). This could be due to a misconfiguration or missing file in the script environment. He also showed me the log but unfortunately I cannot post that here since the link restriction is preventing it. I have done a lot of trawling on google and in this forum and while I've seen another post that seemingly has mine or a similar issue, the fix suggested didn't seem to work for me, or I did it wrong. I'm at my wits end trying to get this silly nostalgic site to load and I am not code savvy so I'm on the verge of giving up. Is anyone able to help me get this working again? Thanks in advance for any help. IP Logged
