	2.5 won't work. If you have access to the admin.vars for editing, you can reset the password directly and YaBB will encrypt it. Setting the old foryum in upgrade made is to keep anyone from accessing while it's being converted.

	Thanks. What about v2.5? Will 2.5 work with perl 5.26.3? I already have the files for 2.5 on the server. They just aren't installed. I have a folder sitting in cgi-bin named /yabb25 right next to /yabb2. All the goodies are in there. And I have a directory in the main public_html folder named /yabb25files, sitting right next to a folder named /yabb24files. I forgot about that. I was going over the upgrade instructions. Since the old forum will not load, I obviously can't put it in Maint mode. What if I don't remember my admin login from the old 2.4 board? Then I imagine myself in an upgraded board after transferring over all the old files, but not being able to access admin ctr to take it out of maint mode. Insights? Solutions? Maybe I could tell it I forgot my pw and have it send me a new pw, or a link to reset pw at email addy. Does that sound workable? I have verified that I can access that email acct and those messages in cPanel. Though I don't use that email acct any more.

	YaBB 2.6.12 works under Perl 5.26.3 - you can get it from the SVN, (trunk) Have no idea if the conversion utilities will work for you. On installing make sure you select the 'full path' for the Paths.pm.

	Thank-you kindly. I will assume then that it is due to a problem with me running YaBB 2.4. I am not surprised. My server tech ran the YaBB script from the command line and got the follow errors: [root@host1 yabb2]# perl -wc YaBB.pl Use of uninitialized value $ENV{"SERVER_SOFTWARE"} in pattern match (m//) at YaBB.pl line 31. Use of uninitialized value $script_root in substitution (s///) at YaBB.pl line 45. Can't locate Paths.pl in @INC (@INC contains: /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 YaBB.pl line 47. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at YaBB.pl line 61. Does this tell you anything? Looks greek to me. I appreciate any insight. Will be looking fwd to YaBB 2.6 I am also 5.26.3. So that is promising then.

	Okay, don't know what version of Perl is included in Alma 8.10. The version of Perl running on this server is 5.26.3 Newer versions of Perl do not contain some of the required modules YaBB uses, such as CGI.pm YaBB 2.4 also conains a lot of deprecated code. Hopefully by the end of the week I can have a Yabb 2.6 available for download here.

	Hi. Longtime YaBB user. Currently have v2.4 installed. Just upgraded server OS from CentOS 7.9 to Alma 8.10 Now YaBB not working. [ It won't let post a link to forum cuz I'm a newbie. ] Internal server error. Probably due to newer version of Perl. Or maybe due to some other item that I am not aware of. Can somebody tell me if the latest version of YaBB will work with the version of Perl contained in Alma 8.10? Thank-you kindly.
