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

You are using the cgi version, while most of us are using the php version.

Your guestbook does not appear to be in a separate directory.]]> https://proxy2.de/forum/posts/preList/3854/11712.php https://proxy2.de/forum/posts/preList/3854/11712.php GMT

While I have not used the cgi version, it sounds like permissions need to be changed so this file can be written to.

You need to read the instructions (maybe a readme file) and find out if you should change the permissions on this and any other files to 777.

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.

http://www.knowler.co.nz/addentry.html
http://www.knowler.co.nz/guest_id.txt
http://www.knowler.co.nz/guestbook.html
http://www.knowler.co.nz/page_id.txt
http://www.knowler.co.nz/template.html

Do you have any other sugestions or ideas

Thanks Kindly for your help
