Hello,

I have installed Ikonboard forum software on our server however it comes with the following problems

after entering the URL it does the following

1 attempt

error 500 internal server error screen


==================

Pressing refresh does the following

2 attempt (refresh)

Internal SERVER error in BOLD - this is a different screen from 1st attempt

==================

3 attempt (refresh)

forum screen appears correctly no problems

==================

4 attempt (refresh)

error message

Undefined subroutine &Apache::ROOT::_7eforum::cgi_2dbin::ikonboard::loginout_2ecgi::unHTML called at /home/forum/public_html/cgi-bin/ikonboard/loginout.cgi line 51.

==================

It seems strange as it appears to be a different problem each time


ANY THOUGHTS


Many Thanks in Advance

BTW running Celeron 766 with RedHat 7.1 with Apache 1.3.20 and latest Perl Version

I'm afraid this won't be much help, but it sounds like the problem is in Ikonboard, not Apache. "Internal Server Error" is the generic message produced by Apache when a CGI script doesn't work properly.

i understand what you are saying but if it works one out of 4 times then the script cant be at fault...

Please check your logs...

/var/log/httpd/error_log

the error logs show this

Undefined subroutine &Apache::ROOT::_7eforum::cgi_2dbin::ikonboard::loginout_2ecgi::unHTML called at /home/forum/public_html/cgi-bin/ikonboard/loginout.cgi line 51.

this is the same as what it says in original post

many thanks

My guess is that you webservice or the program service actually lives anywhere near: /home/forum/public_html/cgi-bin. Looks like you didn't setup a configuration in your forum program correctly. Review the configuration and the configuration instructions once more to see if you missed any thing.

hi,

after using webmin, i discovered that for *.cgi filetypes it was being sent to perl-script instead of cgi-script... it looks as though this one option was messing the whole thing up....

many thanks
