Sorry, there is nothing more I can tell you. Could this be a redirect in place or something like that? Perhaps you should check with your host.

In addition to implementing the anti-spam methods, I think it is a good idea to edit the language file and re-phrase the terms that spammers and hackers search for, like "here you can leave your mark." I like to make all of the wording unique for each site. Also, keep the guestbook from being indexed by the search engines by adding a line to the robots.txt file:

User-agent: *
Disallow: /guestbook/

It appears you have the wrong information stored in the links.cgi file. Upload the original links.pl file to your server's cgi-bin again. Then, change the name to links.cgi. Then edit the information in the file as per the instructions above.

If you want to check your cgi-bin/links.cgi file, it should start out like this:

#!/usr/bin/perl

That's a little vague. I needed to know what to type in Mime. Found it in Google

However, it still doesn't work!

I don't know about the code you mentioned in your other post quoted above, but it is not necessary to accomplish this. Could it be something that needs to be undone?

Did you read this post also?

http://proxy2.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3513

I think it explains the problem with the extension. If you still have problems, consider giving me ftp access and I will see if I can fix it.

Re: Free Links

The cgi/links.pl file, lines 17 thru 27:

The links/addlink.html file, line 93:

Of course, you can make the default index page whatever you want as long as it really exists. Ideally, it should be one of the pages in the links directory beginning with "ffa-"

Read a new post on the Support Forum regarding the free links, because permissions need to be changed on some files, and the .pl extension doesn't work for everybody.

which is my base directory and what to do there? also want to know about a .txt file which is in the links directory, is there anything to do?

anyway, where have to upload links directory? I upload it in to public_htlm dir. anybody tell me something please!

You need to change the information in the links.pl file that goes in the cgi directory. This is in the readme file that came with the script. (Incidentally, I had to change the name to links.cgi because my server doesn't recognize the .pl extension.)

Open links.pl (or links.cgi) and edit the info in lines 17 thru 27. This is the code I am using, and everything works fine:

In the above example, replace all instances of "yourwebsite.com" with your actual website info. You will see that I changed the url from "localhost" to the actual site address. That's because when I used "localhost" it added the links fine but returned a 500 error message when it finished adding the link. Also, using "localhost," it seems to get lost when trying to go to Admin.

In the code that refers to base directory, replace (your userinfo) with your site admin username, which I believe is what is typically used to access CPanel.

Then, you also need to open links/addlink.html and edit line 93:

Chmod addlink.html to 755.

If the links.pl file gets changed to links.cgi, then you also need to change .pl to .cgi in all of the above code.

It is not mentioned in the readme file, but I had to change permissions on links_id.txt and all of the links pages starting with "ffa" (ffa-business.html, etc.) to 666.

To get to Admin, go to : http://www.yourwebsite.com/cgi-bin/links.pl?admin=enter

(Don't forget to change .pl to .cgi if necessary)

The default admin password is: 123

It ain't much to look at, is it?

To correct the misspelling of the word "title", edit line 292 of cgi/links.pl.

To change the Admin password, edit line 33 of cgi/links.pl.

Hope this helps.

I use DB version. Tryed to delete the database table poll_user and to recover it with other hash, but doesn't work

You don't delete the table. You edit the table, only deleting the password that is stored inside the table.

Below is code from database version of poll/include/config.inc.php.

$POLLDB["dbName"] = "";
$POLLDB["host"] = "localhost";
$POLLDB["user"] = "root";
$POLLDB["pass"] = "";
$POLLDB["class"] = "class_mysql.php";

As you can see, it has a place for the password. Try checking your include/config.inc.php. Is there a password? is it encrypted?

Whenever I need to get into an admin panel that I don't have the password for but do have access to the files, I just delete the password from the config.inc.php and the password stored in the database table. Since both are now blank, no password is required to access the Admin Panel. Then, once in Admin, I add a new password. However, I am not using the poll database version, so I can't say that will work for sure.

5. Then I'm STUCK AND START TO GET CRAZY
All HTML pages are with no images!!! When I call http://localhost/mysite/poll/index.php ther's only php code on left side but NO IMAGES.
Please can anyone post "step by step" which page i must edit

Anyone who post Advanced Poll Tutorial - Step By Step in exchange I'll give him PHP & MySQL Web Development Book 2nd edition in PDF format on 912 pages

Sorry, but I doubt anyone has time to write out step by step instructions for you? Did you do a search for instructions on this site? If so, you would probably find Auron's posts which cover all this.

Advanced Poll v2.02 -- Installation / Instructions..
http://proxy2.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2067&highlight=poll

After uploading all of the poll program files to your server, you go to the Administration section and customize it for your site. In the address below, change "yourdomain.com" to your site's domain. This is assuming you put the poll program in a directory named "poll." If not, you need to change that, also.

http://www.yourdomain.com/poll/admin/

There is a readme file that came with the poll program that explains this.

From your message above, it looks like you are opening index.php and looking for a set of polls. As explained in the post referenced below, you need to add your poll code to whatever file you want the polls to appear in. This is a file you create yourself, not a file that came with the poll program.

http://proxy2.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3481&highlight=poll

You get the poll code in your admin section. See the post below:

Here's another one:

http://proxy2.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3938

The reason some of these posts have "highlight" in the address is because I found them by searching for the word "Poll" or "instructions" or "poll AND instructions."

Good luck.

http://proxy2.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3947&highlight=poll+instructions

Your poll files are in a directory called "poll", not "polls".

In admin general settings, remove the "s":

Modify the general settings

URL to poll directory: /poll
URL to image directory: /poll/image

Post a link to your poll.

Did you set the path in admin general settings?

Click on the search button on this forum's menu at the top and search for:

poll AND images

As mentioned in the above posts, some text editors place blank lines at the end of a file after you edited it. You need to make sure there are no blank lines after the <? at the end of the file. Check the admin.php file for whitespace at the end, and remove it.
