I tried everything. It might be a good program b/c so many people out there use it, but the documentation on what to do is very poor. I tried everything and I am pretty saavy at this stuff. It's not worth it! So i ditched it.

I am having the same problem. Did you get yours to work, if so, how?

bschwartz@imova.com Thank you!

I think I figured it out why it wasn't working. I think mysql didn't like a password that started off with a character. As soon as started from scratch and used a different password w/o characters....It came right up. I appreciate everyone's help.

It involves minor editing of the header and footer templates. I assume you're only trying to "divide the page" and have an idea of what you want for your menu set up.

I began playing around with the script yesterday. Is this the effect you are trying to achieve:

www.markkolber.com/guestbook

If it is, here's what I did:

In the header template, add the following to the end. I used a 1X150 px transparent image as a placeholder to set the left side width, but you probably know that you can accomplish that in different ways.

==============================


<TABLE BORDER="" WIDTH="100%">
<TR>
<TD NAME="Left">

<IMG SRC="img/clear150.gif" WIDTH="150" HEIGHT="1" BORDER="0">
</TD>
<TD NAME="Main">


==============================

Then, at the very beginning of the footer template:

==============================

</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>




==============================

Does this help?

You could use frames or tables to do this

I found the problem, I needed to rename the page .php not .html

I installed the advanced poll, created a poll and on the page where the poll should appear for the user to take the poll, I see this on the page

poll_process(4); ?>

And I have done nothing to the code. It is exactly as it is give to me.
Help

Hi Toysmith,
Good news! I didn't have to tinker with anything. Apparently, I had done the right thing in the setup but I was not entering the correct link. I needed to use: "http://domainname.com/cgi-bin/links.pl?admin=enter" which asked for the password to take me to Administration and from then on I was able to delete the extra links by re-entering the pw and selecting the right category. Please post if this helps or if you need more information. Thanks and good luck!

Deleted all the files as you suggested. I'm not sure what you mean about input your *information* but I'm guessing you mean to do it in your config.inc.php. I did that.

I don't use control panel from powweb. I didn't even know they had that. I actually use ws_ftp already. All my permissions are set correctly. I started all over again and when I got the screen saying your tables are created...and then to click here to setup admin, I get this message:

MySQL Error : Connection Error
Error Number: 1045 Access denied for user: '**********@www09.powweb.com' (Using password: NO)

And I still get the guestbook name as the listing for the MySQL host. I don't understand why it doesn't plug in the host name that I gave it in the config.inc.php. This is really making me angry. I greatly appreciate the help "connect" and would be just as grateful for more. Anyone got any ideas. THANKS!!!

Hi Toysmith,
I was also hoping someone else with more experience with the script would add a word or two.
Anyway, I think I finally got the script going using my default cgi-bin for the script and I created a folder "links" in the root directory where I put all the html, gif, and txt files.
I'm able to add links but for some reason I got a duplicate and when I tried to run the script to delete it I got something like this:
--------------------------------------------------------
Free Link Page Return to Free Link Page
No Valid Command!

Back to submit form
--------------------------------------------------------
That's it. Obviously, there is something wrong somewhere although it may not be too serious. I'll keep tingering with the configuration to see if I could figure out, but if there is someone who already figured it out please... share it. Thanks!

Hi Proxy2.de Members and Guests,

I've been getting a lot of hate posts in my guest book. Is there a way to make all messages come to me via email and require my authentication before they appear on the guest book?

Sincerely,
Jason

please echeng can you please look at my guestbook and check whats wrong with it i would appreciate it alot..

by the way i noticed when i upgraded from 2.2 to 2.3.1 and checked the admin login it was working both for test 123 and for that exploit string... however when i ran this command
ALTER TABLE `book_auth` CHANGE `LAST_VISIT` `last_visit` int(11) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0';

i could not enter anymore as test 123 it will always take me back to the admin login page... i was really satisfied with 2.2 the problem is the appearence of this sql exploit just made htings far harder than upgrading.. can anyone just tell me how to work around this, it will be must appreciated.

i tried each and everything but no luck i still cant work make the admin login work, i tried each and every session id and still none works with me, i dont know how to solve this admin login problem!!!!!

Hi Pablo,
