Forum software on the WL500Gx

[Jethro]

I was planning on using my WL500Gx to set up a forum. Since there is no support yet for MySQL (yet), the options are somewhat limited. Maybe later firmwares will take care of this.


Together with some of Macsat's tutorials, it is possible to install a webserver, PHP, SSH and Perl/CGI. I came across forum software that works without an SQL solution: YaBB.

The requirements for YaBB are:

• Perl 5 (or higher) installed on the server your web account is on

• CGI.pm v2.4+ and Socket.pm modules installed on the server your web account is on

Mircroperl is installed on the router, which is based on Perl 5.7.0, so I am assuming that this will work out. This is not the case with the CGI.pm and Socket.pm modules. They are not present/installed at the moment I believe. When I try to install YaBB, both .cgi and .pl files are displayed as plain text and not executed.

Has anoybody ever tried getting this software to work on a WL500Gx or equivalent?

Yeah, almost... Once I press a submit button anywhere, I get a "Page cannot be displayed"
