Well I have downloaded ikonboard (no other board types worked) only to find this one does not work too.

I have done every thing I can think s, put absolutly everythihng in every correct place.

But no matter what I do it says

<blockquote>quote:<hr /> Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@snipsnip and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log. <hr /></blockquote>I have tryed other scripts and they work. but no mater what I do here nothing works!!!

Any ideas?

Also the error in the error log is

[Wed May 29 00:02:02 2002] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] malformed header from script. Bad header=bootstrap_look_up() failed (ip: /Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables/installer.cgi

my guess is that your line breaks are wrong. i'm i'm right, then each script will have macintosh line breaks, as opposed to unix line breaks. this will cause errors, as the script will be interpretted something like this:
<blockquote>code:<hr /><pre style="font-size:x-small; font-family: monospace;">
use�CGI::Carp�"fatalsToBrowser"; ��# Output errors to browser
use�CGI�qw(:standard);��# Saves loads of work
$CGI:

OST_MAX=1024 * 150;��# limit post data
$CGI:

ISABLE_UPLOADS�=�1;��# Disable uploads
$CGI::HEADERS_ONCE�=�1;�� # Kill redundant headers
</pre><hr /></blockquote>instead of:
<blockquote>code:<hr /><pre style="font-size:x-small; font-family: monospace;">
use CGI::Carp "fatalsToBrowser"; # Output errors to browser
use CGI qw(:standard); # Saves loads of work
$CGI:

OST_MAX=1024 * 150; # limit post data
$CGI:

ISABLE_UPLOADS = 1; # Disable uploads
$CGI::HEADERS_ONCE = 1; # Kill redundant headers
</pre><hr /></blockquote>to fix this, either:
1. use BBE to Save As, with the option of Unix Line Breaks,
2. type the following in Terminal, then drop your files on it a few at a time:
<blockquote>code:<hr /><pre style="font-size:x-small; font-family: monospace;">perl -pi -e 's/\r\n?/\n/g' </pre><hr /></blockquote>3. grab an app from versiontracker that changes line breaks. i can't remember the name of the app though, sorry

i hope that solves your troubles, but feel free to ask any other questions you have about ikonboard. is it iB2, or iB3?

IUJHJSDHE · May 29, 2002, 03:53 PM

I tryed typing perl -pi -e 's/\r\n?/\n/g' and then entering each file.

then I tryed perl -pi -e 's/\r\n?/\n/g' and the file name next to it.

but in any case I don't think thats the problem, and it dident seem to change much

Oh also it's iB3

i assume you pressed Return too? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />

trust me, i've had to do this myself on numerous scripts i've downloaded. if you don't already have it installed, download yourself a copy of BBE Lite (or the full version, if you "find" it). open a script, have invisibles turned on and see what the spaces and line ends look like.

the line break app that i mentioned is <a href="http://www.versiontracker.com/moreinfo.fcgi?id=13491&db=mac" target="_blank">here</a>

how familiar are you with Terminal?

open terminal and su:

perl -MCPAN -e shell will connect you to cpan. read the instructions, mess about with the settings a bit, then it will probably tell you there's a new cpan bundle, so...

install Bundle::CPAN should install that for you

install Net::FTP might be required, i dunno

install DBI is the one you need for iB3

install Bundle::LWP is handy for some other stuff, while you're there <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />

to quit, type quit

i hope that's easy enough to follow and you've got Dev Tools installed.

again, shout me if you have problems and i will try and answer questions. anybody else reading this is free to point out better ways, or any errors i've made!

<hr /></blockquote>Well I am going thought installing that, it's going on forever.
Well I will edit this once it's done to see it it worked

philzilla · May 29, 2002, 06:04 PM

if you can tell me exactly what you do, from unstuffing the file onwards, that might help too

IUJHJSDHE · May 29, 2002, 07:18 PM
