Hi, everyone. I'm trying to install guestbook 1.5 to my website ( www.jianster.com ). But im having a hard time understanding the url/base directory addressess. I'm very confused with the directory that my host gave me... they are:
Perl/CGI
Perl location:
#!/usr/bin/perl
(perl is version 5.61)
Sendmail location:
/usr/lib/sendmail
Path to home directory /document root:
/hsphere/local/home/ftpusername/yourdomain.com
Path to cgi-bin directory:
/hsphere/local/home/ftpusername/yourdomain.com/cgi-bin
------
Where should i put these address in order to run the guestbook?
Is the path to cgi-bin directory www.jianster.com/cgi-bin or the one that the host provides?
Please help me out... Im really lost with the installation. Thank you very much.

You need to put them under your public_html folder. And you do realize that GB 1.5 is very old. The new version is now 2.3.1 Plus you will need to install a database.

If you are absolutely sure your base directory path is correct then you probably have not assigned permissions correctly. I had the same problem and the following fixed it: Change permissions on the following files to 777 guest_id.txt
guestbook.html
page_id.txt
template.html
Make sure permissions for the guestbook.pl file is set to 755
If your paths are correct it should work
Good Luck
