Redirect from cgi to se

[Extreme]

Hi
What my problem is I have just converted from Yabb SP1 to SE (very smoothly Great job) but now I have 2 boards I have a 110 members that's r all still going to my old CGI board I have emailed them all the new link but what I am looking for is something to redirect them from the CGI board to the SE one
Any help is appreciated
Thanks

P.S Is there a way i can change all my buttons to flash not gif?

Hi, glad the conversion was somoth.  I am sure there is a way to do a redirect with cgi.

* David looks to find out how

Code Select Expand

#!/usr/bin/perl

print "Location: http://newdomain.com/newfile.pl
As for making flash buttons you would have to edit english.lng and change all of them from gif to flash.

Ok thats the info i wanted the english.lng bit

Thanks

Sorry as u can tell Im very new to all this but if this is the code I need

 "#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Location: http://newdomain.com/newfile.pl"

In witch file do I put it and where
Thanks

you should edit the index.cgi file of your SP1 board to be.

Code Select Expand

#!/usr/bin/perl

print "Location: http://www.yoursite.com/yabbse/index.php
Of course replace http://www.yoursite.com/yabbse with the address to your board.

index.cgi = YaBB.cgi or YaBB.pl btw

Thats what i done the first time but i but be doing something wrong cos i get an error my Yabb.cgi looks like the now
#!/usr/local/bin/perl

print "Location: http://www.mysite.com/yabbse/index.php

and this is what i get
Internal Server Error

or if you have .htaccess
put this in the file

Redirect old-directory new-url-address

e.g.

Redirect /cgi-bin/Yabb  http://www.blah.com/forum/index.php

You could try...

Code Select Expand

#!/usr/local/bin/perl

print "Location: http://www.yoursite.com/yabbse/index.php\n\n";

exit;
Make sure the #!/usr/local/bin/perl is the path to your perl, if your not sure open up your YaBB.cgi in notepad and take at look at what it is there.  Also change www.yoursite.com to the URL for your site.  You knew that already though didn't you?

[Extreme]

Yes the path to my perl is right Iv had the cgi board working for over a year so i know thats right lol
I still must be doing something wrong it dont really matter now my little flash movie seems to be doing the job
Thanks
