This has been discussed over on YaBB Forum.

There's some code -specifically: Code:

my @disk_space = qx{df -k .};
map { $_ =~ s/ +/  /g } @disk_space; 

that causes some Server/Windows combinations to have issues with the whole of Settings_Advanced.pl

Now a tentative fix is for the people who have this issue to open that file and comment out those two lines.

A more user friendly fix would be something one the order of replacing those lines with Code:

if( $^O !~ /Win/ ) {@disk_space = qx{df -k .};
map { $_ =~ s/ +/  /g } @disk_space;
} 

And a more complete (but untested on touchy systems) would on the order of Code:

if( $^O =~ /Win/ ) {
      @x = qx{DIR /-C};
	my $lastline = pop(@x); # should look like: 17 Directory(s), 21305790464 Bytes free
	return -1 if $lastline !~ m/byte/i; # error trapping if output fails. The word byte should be in the line
	$lastline =~ /^\s+(\d+)\s+(.+?)\s+(\d+)\s+(.+?)\n$/;
	$FreeBytes = $3 - 100000; # 100000 bytes reserve
	if ($FreeBytes >= 1073741824) {
		$yyfreespace = sprintf("%.2f", $FreeBytes / (1024 * 1024 * 1024)) . " GB";
	} elsif ($FreeBytes >= 1048576) {
		$yyfreespace = sprintf("%.2f", $FreeBytes / (1024 * 1024)) . " MB";
	} else {
		$yyfreespace = sprintf("%.2f", $FreeBytes / 1024) . " KB";
	}
		@disk_space = $yyfreespace;
}
else {
	@disk_space = qx{df -k .};
	map { $_ =~ s/ +/  /g } @disk_space;
} 

Some of us think that Settings_Advanced -> Advanced not getting the free space figure from Windows when it does it for *nix, is a bug.


Oh, and I have tried it with Code:

@disk_space = qx{DIR /-C} 

for the Windows side and it's just ugly and way too much information - especially since we really only want the last line.
