In ipconf.inc change:

PHP Code:

$trygd = "1"; 


To:

PHP Code:

$trygd = "0"; 


This will then use CSS, this works fine for me.

Thanks NTLDR, still getting a CGI script error. Can't seem to figure this one out???

I'll try this on my IIS server and see if it will work, I know the CSS works fine under appache and linux.

UPDATE:

It works fine for me under IIS 5.1 with PHP 4.2 installed using the CSS method, what errors are you getting?

[beemer]

I'm getting a CGI error that says :

The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers. The headers it did return are:

So a new question, when using IIS5 are css sheets enabled by default or do I have to install some msdn peice to make them work? I am using PHP4.2 but I'm not sure what mean when you say you installed it using the CSS method?

I just followed the instructions for the hack, but made $trygd=0; other then that I made no other changes, are you running PHP as an ISAPI or as a CGI exe?
I allways used to get the error on the Admin CP home page with IIS.

Ok, finally got ticked off and rebuilt my web server. Everything working great now! Nice hack, very usefull!

It works however I am gettiing the following error when it plots the screen (the error is at the bottom of VBipplot.php

Notice: Undefined variable: encoding in /home/dbstalk/public_html/admin/adminfunctions.php on line 44

Any ideas?

There may be errors like this because of differences in server setup, and server preferences.

So if the plotter works, and it plots the ip ok, then its nothing to wory about.

Drk, my server seems to be set up with GD. Is there a way around the errors that show up for the time probelm?

Also, how can I put the dir for the files in the Admin dir instead of the mod dir and still make it work like it does now, buddy?

That is very easy, take out the links in mod/index.php, move the file vbipplot.php and everything in the ..locatio folder into the admin folder.
It should look something like this

admin/vbipplot.php
admin/{thelocationfolder}

Now then edit admin/index.php find ../mod/vbipplot.php and change it to vbipplot.php

in user.php in the admin directory find ../mod/vbipplot.php and replace it with vbipplot.php find it again I believe and replace with vbipplot.php.

Now uhh I forgot the changes i made to your forums hehe, so any instances of../mod/vbipplot or mod/vbipplot to admin/vbipplot or just ipplot.

Its farely easy
