cgi forum/sign up.
Ok,
Well my host decided to change servers last night without letting me know, so I lost everything
But something good might come out of it, expect im not sure where to start.
On this site, I have a Free Ads which requires you to sign up (the script is written in perl).
I also had a forum, phpBB (php +mySQL), what I want to do is set the site so you only have to sign up once and that gives you access to the entire site.
Will I have to change to a cgi forum ? I don't mind doing this as phpBB does have it's problems.
Like I said, im not sure where to start so any help is appreciated.
(Im also still pretty angry with my host !! Grr...)
Cheers, Marc

Or...
Maybe some sort of package (e.g, phpnuke is the only one I can think of).
Something like phpNuke that has lots of different features

Can't help you with your problem I'm afraid
but who is your host as a matter of interest? I've been having no end of fun with mine lately. I wish I knew about server stuff to start up my own I has to less hassle than relying on someone else!!

I can't help with the (cgi) problem, I'm afraid, but I can point you towards a reliable host - FutureQuest. You may like to check their Web site, and visit their discussion forums - http://www.futurequest.net/ .

DOH.
This is no good, umm.. well my host with the site was hostingbetter.com, they said they had e-mailed me at the domain name (e.g, [email protected]), but the host hosting my domain name (UK2) is having lots of dowtime with emails. So emails don't get to me.
Who do I blame ?!
Anyway, ... I looked around for some packages like phpNuke but couldn't find any that were any good. So, is there a way I can put one register page on my site, and when that is filled in it sends the info to the forum, and classifieds ?

I wouldn't touch UK2 with a bargepole! I've had some bad run-ins with them after clients have bought their domains with them and then when you try to move the tag away, well lets just say they don't make it easy!!
