Uh oh!

I am off on my perl version by some very small numbers...Perl 5.00404 required--ours is only version 5.00401

Unfortunately on our managed server, we don't have root, and they appear to always stay a bit behind on upgrades... and do 800 servers at once.

Install went smoothly regardless. Very nice....

Then upon start it died. Because of a customized 500 page in my .htaccess, even in dbug mode I don't get the error to paste. (How can I fix this?)

Anyway, it seems to work on the setup, but I can't finish the login to go to the main forum. I receive this error in my Apache Error Log:

GT::SQL::Driver::MYSQL (30250): Preparing query: SELECT forum_id_fk,usernew_last FROM gforum_UserNew WHERE user_id_fk = '1' at /home/enigma/public_html/juice/forum/admin/GT/SQL/Driver/MYSQL.pm line 35.
[Sun Dec 2 21:20:54 2001] [error] [client 204.119.58.61] Premature end of script headers: /home/enigma/public_html/juice/forum/gforum.cgi

Is there a work around for this? Hurricane Electric is reluctant to change perl versions when I ask.

What version of MySQL and/or DBI are you using?

The script usually requires that version of perl because it does actually require it. It's no joke ;-)

Tell your web host to get a move on. The version you're running was released last century. Literally.

See my point about hosts using old versions

Yes, but would you really want to host your website with such a hosting provider?!

I'm sure it doesn't bother most. Those who require more features or customization should probably go with a dedicated server.

????!

Hi,

No, we'll update the installer to detect this, but the program does require 5.004_04. A lot of the object oriented support does not work on older versions, and you would get a lot of strange errors.

5.004_04 came out in 98 I think, so it's pretty old.

Cheers,

Alex

I have a dedicated server. Just not root access to upgrade as I please.

Great News!


We can install a localized version of perl in our account I guess... so we are trying that now. I'll let you know how it works!

The localized version was a success.... so all you fully managed server people, you can change things around a bit more than we thought!
