The scripts in HyperThread (for UNIX) are set up with the default perl location of:
/usr/local/bin/perl
If your perl resides elsewhere, you will have to edit the scripts. Please note that this should never be necessary for the Windows NT version, which relies upon the file association table to determine the location of your perl.
The scripts you'll need to edit are:
- change_admin.pl - (line 1)
- convert_db_to_y2k.pl - (line 1)
- convert_to_msql.pl - (line 1)
- discuss-admin.cgi - (line 1)
- discuss.cgi - (line 1)
- init_DBM.pl - (line 1)
- init_MSQL.pl - (line 1)
- install-UNIX.pl - (line 1)
- installer_DBM.pl - (line 1)
- installer_MSQL.pl - (line 1)
- register.pl - (line 1)
- retriever.pl - (line 1)
You can perform the edits by using a text editor. A very common editor on UNIX is pico, which is used (after telnetting to the hyperthread directory) by typing the word pico a space and then the filename. For example:
pico discuss.cgi
You will find the location on the line stated above (if for some reason your editor displays the lines differently, you are looking for /usr/local/bin/perl). Simply change it to whatever your actual location is, then save. In pico you save by exiting. Before pico actually closes, it will ask you if you want to save the changes you've made. Answer 'y' and hit enter. Repeat this process for all the scripts to be edited. Once you have done so you can begin the installation.
