Thanks for your support on this and the Lazarus forum. I now have a more secure guestbook thanks to you and your efforts.

I finally uploaded Lazarus Guestbook, made the changes that were suggested on the config.inc.php file and I get a message "Cannot connect to the MYSQL Because: Access denied for user: test@localhost" blah blah

I know that the user name is correct and the password because I tested it. I tried a few variations for the database name, not sure if the domain name should preceed it like... domain_database. I tried all combinations and it did not work. Any clues?

One last question... I have created a test guestbook, the instructions say to upload to your website. Do I create a special directory in public for it or do I put it in the directory that advanced created?

Going to check it now, and atleast download it to my PC .... Sounds easy to install ....

Ravenpro, how do I find out what version of guestbook I am currently running?

I am not sure if I am up to this tonight... been a long day.. But I will give it a shot. This will be a first for me on this type installation.
Can you believe it, my full time job is administrator of BEA WebLogic servers for a website that does 7 Billion a year in revenue! And I worry about a guestbook... well it is something I do not normally do!
Have a great night and see you on the boards...

Your page looks great.. glad you told me about it. Now I need to figure out how to upgrade to this, then try it on a test site and if I am happy integrate it into about 5 sites I manage now. I have been blocking IP addresses like mad the last few days and getting tired of it. The amount of crap has cut down a lot, but there is still 1-2 a day. That is better than 20-30!

Ravenpro... Great to hear from you again...

and I did get that other issue working that you wrote to me about when I posted there. Anyway... I am not sure what to do so that I can upgrade this. I started to read about it, and if there is any issues I see that the forum for that is available also. Does this guestbook require an approval?

Thanks for the fast reply.. Now I am not sure how to update the guestbook, is there instructions?
Also I noticed you knew I was from Mysitespace.. interesting...

I have been getting a lot of spam lately and want to stop it. Is there a way to make it so every entry has to be approved before they will be posted?
