### Step 1

Please note that wherever 'YaBB.pl' is referred to, you may have the 'YaBB.cgi' file instead. They are the same file with a different name, depending on which package you have downloaded.

First open 'AdminIndex.pl', 'Setup.pl' and 'YaBB.pl,' which are in the 'cgi-bin/yabb2' folder of the package you downloaded, in a text editor such as Notepad or UltraEdit. These files contain the path to your server's Perl location. Generally, this setting is correct, but Perl can be installed in different locations. For example on a Windows or WinNT host, your Perl path should probably be set to #!C:/Perl/Bin. On a Linux host, the path is usually #!/usr/bin/perl. Check your server for the proper path and change the files accordingly.
