UseBB Community

Hello,

I justed installed UseBB as a test on my localhost. I wanted to test the ACP upload module. But it failed. I got the following error:

    In file admin_modules.php on line 92:

    E_NOTICE - Undefined index: PATH_TRANSLATED

I opened the file and I saw that UseBB was trying to use the variable $_SERVER['PATH_TRANSLATED'];. I opened phpinfo(); on my localhost and I saw no $_SERVER['PATH_TRANSLATED']; there. I started to look for an alternative and I found $_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'];. That worked like a charm . So the bugfix is:

1. open <UseBB-path>/sources/admin_modules.php
2. Change line 92 from

if ( copy($acp_module['tmp_name'], dirname($_SERVER['PATH_TRANSLATED']).'/sources/modules/'.$acp_module['name']) )

to

if ( copy($acp_module['tmp_name'], dirname($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']).'/sources/modules/'.$acp_module['name']) )

3. save the file
4. done. You can upload ACP modules again

I had this problem on a server with the following specifications:
UseBB 1.0.3
PHP 5.1.6-pl8-gentoo
MySQL 5.0.26
Apache 2.0.59-r1
Gentoo Linux, kernel 2.6.18-gentoo-r1

I hope this helps somebody

Fixed in CVS. Thanks for reporting.

I host UseBB on a Windows 2003 server with PHP4. After the fixing, now I must change it back to
if ( copy($acp_module['tmp_name'], dirname($_SERVER['PATH_TRANSLATED']).'/sources/modules/'.$acp_module['name']) )
because I get an error on the same line after the fixing. So it depends on the configuration of PHP on the server which one must used.

Could you download and test the following file on your setup? Thanks.

I have test the file on my setup and now it works fine (without changing anything) for me. Thanks a lot.

Marking as fixed again, the code should work on all PHP 4.1+ versions.
