I've d/l-ed YaBB (Yet another Bulletin Board), b'cause it's free. I've also d/l-ed some 'hacks', but how can I edit the board?
I mean the visual and function components? And do I have a preview?
Can I view the files on my comp, w/o uploading the files onto my Unix Server?
How is it with UBB?
I think this especially goes to SaiNt, Seph 3Dand some others (Qhimm?)...
(I know my questions are VERY general, I posted this to collect problems and solutions)

As far as I know, UBB runs on CGI
Vbulletin on PHP & a mysql database system
phpBB is alike to Vbulletin.
Most of the others generally use CGI.
Well, for starters you could use install an Apache module and the necessary perl or php support for you pc.
There's really no easy way out of this since to run php & cgi your pc needs to be set up as a server. :(
That's mainly why I run Win2k on my PC
Okay, how can I set up my comp as a server and view the CGI files on my comp in a browser? (I hope this isn't too much work?)

As for my server: I also got my accounts on tripod and geocities, so I can try to post it there...

Hey, wait a sec!
I also got SuSE Linux 7.0 Personal (Kernel: 2.2.17-pre) with Apache 1.3.12 !
Perhaps it'd be easier to set my Linux as a Server?

Forget 'bout that Linux thing - my Mainboard isn't supported! (Hm, I could install it on my PII 266 - I know that its components are supported...)
BTW: I'm currently d/l-ing apache 1.3 for Win and a perl-integration...

Hm, my PII 266 is in a LAN with Yuki's comp...hehe

I'm going to set the apache server on my Win comp...

But what now? Do I have to install any 'perl-mods'? When yes, how?
When I try to acces the cgi file, I get the code of it. Means: it is read as a document, not as a script...
(I'm feelin' like a REAL newbie, man :wink: )

Bad News: My Server doesn't support CGI... - Alexx
Try downloading the .pl version of YaBB instead. It's here:
YaBB (.pl version)
The flock() is not working on Win 95/98/ME Systems... whhaaaaa !! - Alexx
...there is a value somewhere in settings.pl called ' useflock=0 ' <-- That is the default settings. Try setting is to ' useflock=1 '
