YABB form error!! for apache webservers.
500 Internal server Error!!!
After checking all permissions and stuffs.
Check phpinfo.php
check SERVER_SOFTWARE
if found as IIS....then its the error.:p dont go changing the server settings there is an alternate way...
WHY?? -------------
Yabb.pl the script searches for the webserver, some apache servers will be recognising itself as IIS server inorder to avoid attacks. When Yabb.pl finds this, it will try to fix a bug in it, but since the server software is Apachec this results in an error.
SOLUTION : edit the YaBB.pl script to NOT check for server software.
Edit the if loop in the begning of the script for "IIS"
##################################################
if ($ENV{'SERVER_SOFTWARE'} =~ /IIS/)
change this to >>> if ($ENV{'SERVER_SOFTWARE'} =~ /PQR/)
Please BE CAREFUL IN EDITING !!!!
##################################################
And banG You got a working YaBB!!! :D
Also check for other perl files in YaBB that uses the same lines as above..!!
