errrm, im getting the lovely:

Cannot open ID file guest_id.txt in /home/www/buzzingc/book for writing!

on http://www.buzzingchickens.com/book/addentry.html...
I have installed it no problems on a different website, but the same server and as far as i know im doing the same thing again...

What could be wrong?

Have you tried changing the mode of guest_id.txt and chmoding it to 777 ?

Thanks for the repky,
I have tried different chmod's, but it really doesnt like it, i have tried it now even with a matts script archive guestbook to see if it was a script problem but its not... I have contacted my web host and got him to check it out... i will let you know the result here...

I managed to install the matts script archive guestbook no problems at all, but I am having the another error message

Cannot open ID file guest_id.txt in /home/www/buzzingc/book for writing!

I have chmodded from 755 to 777 etc but still no joy...
Any ideas?

im starting to think my server is weird

I had the same problem for a bit...

Try chmod the whole folder that the guestbook is stored in to 777

chmod 777 book -R

Use the -R to get all the files to the same level... that worked for me and it runs GREAT!!!
