I'm using Snitz 3.4.3 with the avatar mod and the new events calender mod. tryign to install the link manager mod.

Everything went smoothly up until I replaced the three principle files. Updated the database using the included update tool, uploaded the new files..everything's fine. But when I replace hese files:

admin_home.asp
inc_func_posting.asp
inc_header.asp

I get an ambiguous 500 error on ever page of the forum. The whole thing just dies.

Having trouble guessing where to go to get more detailed information on what's going wrong.

the forum is currently running with all files in place, but without the three files modifies at http://www.partyutah.com/forums.

the offending files can be viewed at

http://www.partyutah.com/forums/updates/admin_home.txt
http://www.partyutah.com/forums/updates/inc_func_posting.txt
http://www.partyutah.com/forums/updates/inc_header.txt

obviously the real versions are .asp and are in the same folder. I created text version for easy viewing.

Checked my mods and it looks to me like I followed the mod instructions to the letter. Perhaps the mods are interfering?

Any hints on how to start debugging this would be awesome.

Thanks in advance.

To see what the error is, you need to turn off Show Friendly HTTP Error Messages. Here is a page describing how to do that.

I think the problem is you're using an older mod for a newer version of the forum. You shouldn't have replaced those files, rather modified each one of the files with the code changes. That mod was written for 3.1 SR 4, I believe, so the replacement files were actually modified 3.1 SR 4 files with the code changes. Restore your original files and add the code changes. If you changed any of these files because of the other mods you added, you may have to redo those code changes unless you backed up the files prior to replacing them. Understand?

Actually, when I say i replaced the subject files, I mean I backed up the active files, modified those files with the changes recommended, then replaced the unmodified files with the ones I'd just changed. So

admin_home.asp
inc_func_posting.asp
inc_header.asp

are current versions, just modified as described in the readme of this mod.

Remove the response.write from line 509 but leave everything else. With the & _ on the line before, you don't need the response.write. Or you could remove the & _ from line 508.

I actually moved the "response.write" down to the front of row 511 and it worked. Removing it entirely didn't. Thanks for your help guys.
