Hi Thanks for your reply

I put http://www.knowler.co.nz as the base dir and it still didnt work. I get the following now.
Cannot create ID file guest_id.txt in http://www.knowler.co.nz. Please check your base directory.

The read me file says the base dir should be something like this

$base_dir = "/home/usr/you/book";

Im useing WinXP Pro (not UNIX)

I have all the guestbook pages under the web site. I.E.

Hi

I am in New Zealand and was hoping to use your guest book on my personal web site. http://www.knowler.co.nz

I have most of it going but am unsure what to put in for the base directory in the /cgi-bin/guestbook.pl

I thought it might of been the PATH_TRANSLATED D:\rachel_knowler\cgi-bin\guestbook.pl

But it still dosent work when I click on SIGN BOOK

I see on the net a few people have had a problem with this but after two nights of trying things I cant get it. Please can you help me?

You can go here to see the guest book on my site http://www.knowler.co.nz/addentry.html

Thanks you very much for the code and your help.

Kind Regards

Steve
