help with CGI on f2s.com

Hi,

Does anyone know if f2s supports CGI scripts? I recall it being listed as supporting this, and their main page reads that they do... Although I can't seem to figure out how to run scripts on the server.. Do I need to create my own cgi folder and set permissions or where is perl located on their server? ANY help would be greatly appreciated =/ Thanks...
 
You do not need a cgi-bin folder to run F2S CGI scripts. The location of Perl at F2S is /usr/bin/perl. And do not chmod the scripts at all. F2S does the association server-side.
 
Hi


I use f2s.com and all works perfect, but my yabb board and my UGB.cgi alway show 127.0.0.1 as ip.


Would anyone possible be so kind as to give me a hint or support

That should answer all questions.

It might just be the server you're on meow. Maybe they all don't have the auto-association.

Thanks. That must be new (relatively). The warnings that chmoding could be dangerous made me go to the users forums. Found a lot about it. Seems like it's still OK to chmode yourself so why do they have that in their FAQ? F2s sometimes do the oddest things...

Read his post - his board logs the same IP all the time. :classic2:

Its in the YaBB FAQ, inside the zip file... it tells you what you have to change for using YaBB on f2s. :)
 
Thank you very much but still one Problem
This is just a problem with some odd hosts that don't use standard cgi environment variables (i.e. things like $ENV{'REMOTE_ADDR '}). You can go into YaBB.pl and Post.pl and change this variable to whatever you server uses. An example is F2S, which uses HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR for IP addresses.

Well, go into notepad and open YaBB.pl (or .cgi) and go to search > Find... Type 'REMOTE_ADDR' and for every result replace 'REMOTE_ADDR' with 'HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'.

Do exactly the same for Post.pl, save and upload the files... it should now work ;)
