									Hi, everyone. I'm trying to install guestbook 1.5 to my website ( www.jianster.com ). But im having a hard time understanding the url/base directory addressess. I'm very confused with the directory that my host gave me... they are:
  Perl/CGI
  
  Perl location:
  #!/usr/bin/perl
  (perl is version 5.61)
  
  Sendmail location:
  /usr/lib/sendmail
  
  Path to home directory /document root:
  /hsphere/local/home/ftpusername/yourdomain.com
  
  Path to cgi-bin directory:
  /hsphere/local/home/ftpusername/yourdomain.com/cgi-bin
  ------
  Where should i put these address in order to run the guestbook?
  Is the path to cgi-bin directory www.jianster.com/cgi-bin or the one that the host provides? 
  
  Please help me out... Im really lost with the installation. Thank you very much.

									You need to put them under your public_html folder. And you do realize that GB 1.5 is very old. The new version is now 2.3.1 Plus you will need to install a database.

									If you are absolutely sure your base directory path is correct then you probably have not assigned permissions correctly. I had the same problem and the following fixed it: Change permissions on the following files to 777               guest_id.txt
                                 guestbook.html
                                  page_id.txt 
                                  template.html
  
  Make sure permissions for the guestbook.pl file is set to 755 
  If your paths are correct it should work
  Good Luck
