My guess is that I have not completed the $base_dir variable correctly.

My webhost says the path to my webspace is '/home/freduk/public_html' and I have entered
$base_dir = "/home/freduk/public_html/guestbook/book";
in the script as addentry.html and the other files are in the directory guestbook/book.
Can someone tell me what I have done wrong please? (No my website is not fred but I have used this to save my embarrassment.)

All help will be greatly appreciated,

In the guestbook.pl file, do you have the correct location to perl on your server?

Did you put the guestbook.pl file in the cgi-bin directory and chmod to 755?

I have found that when using cgi scripts from proxy2.de, I must use the full url:

In cgi-bin/guestbook.pl, lines 16 thru 26:
[code]# url of script
$cgiurl = "http://www.yoursite.com/cgi-bin/guestbook.pl";

# administration password
$admin_pass = "password";

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

# base directory to all guestbook files from the server root without trailing "/"
$base_dir = "/home/freduk/public_html/guestbook/book";[/code]
In addentry.html line 7:
[code]<form method="post" action="/cgi-bin/guestbook.pl">[/code]
If you have an available mysql database, you would do better to use the database version.]]> https://proxy2.de/forum/posts/preList/5373/19690.php https://proxy2.de/forum/posts/preList/5373/19690.php GMT
