YaBB question (sorry, posted in wrong forum b4)
« on: February 23, 2003, 10:18:37 PM »
Has anyone here installed YaBB or any similar forum on E-Smith 5.x?

I've installed the files in '/home/e-smith/files/primary/cgi-bin/yabb' and in /home/e-smith/files/primary/html/forums/' and can get nothing to work... Perl is there, I've edited all the config files for YaBB, yet nothing...

If I have a line in a file in 'forums' calling something from my cgi-bin folder, where do I point it? ../../cgi-bin/whateverfilename?

Also, how do I browse to a file in the cgi-bin from the www? If I go to www.mysite.com/cgi-bin i get nothing :S

I should mention that Apache is listening on port 7080, and my domain redirects to myIP:7080. Is this why www.mydomain.com/ibayname gets me nowhere fast?

Haven't touched yabb, but you might want to take a look at phpbb.  There's a howto on installing it on SME which seems to work pretty well (of course, I wrote it, so I'm a little biased).

He he...

I'll give it a shot, but I'm still perplexed by my system's inability to give access to my ibays through www. For instance, one ibay is set up as follows:
-------
Information bay name:     mp3
Description:                      MP3 Jukebox lives here
Group:                               Everyone
Write=Admin, Read=Group
Entire internet (no password required) <- I've tried password, also didn't work
Dynamic content enabled.
-------

Yet nothing happens. Now I'm thinking it's because of my IP redirection. As port 80 is blocked by my ISP, I've edited the "stock" 35Aliases00 file to listen on port 7080, and my domain points you to my IP on that port...

My website is living in /home/e-smith/files/primary/html, and any file in there can be seen, no problem. However, I can't get it to go to the /cgi-bin folder, or anywhere else, for that matter. Users can FTP in no problem, but that's about it. If phpbb calls anything in any other directory in e-smith, I'm screwed :(

Yes!
Thank you, Dan! My phpBB is running fine!
www.stormdragonproductions.com/phpBB2 will get you in.

Now, if only I could resolve my ibay problems...
