Yes, I am using textfile. I've been messing around with everything for a while, but still haven't gotten anywhere... I'm still trying though.... Thanks!

Jeff S.

Someone please help me... I have installed Advanced Guestbook 2.3.1 on my server and have followed the readme instructions. However, everytime I try to make a post I get the below error.
Guestbook - Error
One of the input fields does not seem to be valid.
Meanwhile, I have made sure the everything is correct in all the fields. Can someone please help me with this problem.

I cant remember my username and password for the admin for the guestbook. Where would I go to change it or set up a new name and password?

Yes, server has php (as evidenced by the fact that the 'admin' page works). The path as it's set up to be right now is www/pollphp/textfile/{all other folders and files exactly as from download}.

I haven't changed any of the actual php files, so do I need to add/delete/change anything to account for the actual folder structure?

&tpl_set=simple remove that and see if it works.

If not i'm not sure whats up with it. Have you got all the
necessary files uploaded for the SSI stuff for the poll?

Auron

Yes, the SSI is outsite the <body> tag. I have it placed just after the </body> tag (close body)... The SSI immediately after this poll_ssi works just fine.

All of the necessary files should be up and ready to go. I have messed around with the location of these, though, as there doesn't seem to be a detailed installation how-to. I currently have it "pollphp" folder set up inside my www (publichtml) folder, with the remaining structure exactly how it is when you download and unpack the script from this site... I must be missing something somewhere...

Thanks!

seem some people having probs with the guest book, see if this helps.

first two place in the guestbook.pl u need to modify are the
# url of script
$cgiurl = "http://yourhost/cgi-bin/guestbook.pl";

# base url to all guestbook files without trailing "/"
$bookurl = "http://yourhost/book";

so would look something like this
# url of script
$cgiurl = "http://www.teamoxygen.co.uk/cgi-bin/guestbook.pl";

# base url to all guestbook files without trailing "/"
$bookurl = "http://www.teamoxygen.co.uk/book";

next place to modify

# base directory to all guestbook files from the server root without trailing "/"
$base_dir = "/home/usr/you/book";

If you do not know this then here's a way to find out. Open notpad and write the following in

#!/usr/local/bin/perl

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "Document Root is: ";
print $ENV{'DOCUMENT_ROOT'};

Then save file as pathfinder.pl Once you have done that upload this to your server in ASCII mode and place in the same folder as your guestbook.pl. please check that the pathfinder.pl is not pathfinder.pl.txt if it is then right click and go to rename and delete the txt bit off. Now you need to chmod to 777 rwxrwxrwx. launch internet browser and type in the url to the pathfinder.pl You should now get the information u need copy and past in to the guestbook.pl

# base directory to all guestbook files from the server root without trailing "/"
$base_dir = "/home/usr/you/book";

So the section above delete home/usr/you and past the information you got from pathfinder.pl

If by any chance the pathfinder did not work then check the following
this is correct for you #!/usr/local/bin/perl
check pathfinder.pl is not on server as pathfinder.pl.txt

That should be all u need to do now
Make sure u upload guestbook.pl in ACSII and chmod to 755
and the following files to 777
addentry.html
guest_id.txt
guestbook.html
page_id.txt
template.html

Hope this helps any probs contact leonac17@hotmail.com

hi,

i just built the txt version of advanced poll but i got a problem here what code do i have to put into my html ?

After searching, I did infact find a help topic. Sorry I didn't do this before, I didn't see the search button up top (by the member bar) because on other forums (vB, iVB) it's on the bottom of a forum. Anywho, Crystal Dynamics doesn't have the guides up (I checked) so here's the thread:
http://proxy2.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1770&highlight=template

Stupidly before I relized Guest's can post here, I sent the webby an email about this same query. Anyway, seeing as forums are a much faster medium than email at most times I'll just as my question here.

How do you change which template you want to be displayed with the included booth.php file? I looked at all the required files, and through all the syntax within booth.php, and with my limited knowledge, I found nothing about a template variable I can manually change. Figuring it must read the first template in the array, I deleted Default, and all others leading up to simple (the one I edited), but still no dice. If anyone here had this same problem, and can help me out, please do. Thanks in advance for help.

Thanks Auron...
However, it does't work... I get the "An error occurred while processing this directive". I currenlty have just after the bottom </body> tag, just as I have for my other SSI (the copyright bar/footer). Any help? Thanks!

When Advanced Poll ask for $POLLDB["host"] = ""; in the mysql configuration (config.inc.php) does it mean the directory PATH or the URL ????

Help

I run the 2.2 version, and the admin username and password I set won't even let me get as far as these others have (I can't get in at all). It just keeps telling me the information's wrong, and I KNOW it isn't. I've tried some of the "fixes" here (other than the last one as I already run 2.2), to no avail. This seems to be a problem for quite a few people, some sort of solution that works would be appreciated.
