Hi there

I just want to put a guestbook to my site and try everything but in the end there is a message looking at me.
''Cannot create ID file guest_id.txt in /home/usr/zepyro/book. Please check your base directory.''

It's been a while since I've run through the installation but off of the cuff it sounds like you need to set the file access permissions on your server. As I recall the permission levels on two folders needs to be altered. (folders temp and user or something like that) This info is in the readme file, look for the mention of permissions or the CHMOD command.

I hope this helps.

I too am having the same problem

Guestbook - Error  
Cannot create ID file guest_id.txt in http://www.mydomain.net/usr/local/book. Please check your base directory.

The only thing I add was in line 59 of config.inc. I added : htpp://www.yourdomain.com/guestbook/ and not htpp://www.yourdomain.com/guestbook/img as in the example.

I'll hope this will work for you.
