Guestbook help

[Digger]

Hi,

I am trying to put a flash5 guestbook into my site.

I seem to be having trouble editing the book.cgi file in the cgi-bin with the path to the cgi-bin.

This is what the instructions tell me to do:
____________________________________________________________
"Change the $basedir to reflect the $basedir on your server. Here is how I changed mine:

$basedir="/web/sites/381/username/www.devinechaos.f2s.com/cgi-bin/";

Note: when changing this line DO NOT use your website address like

http://www.mysite.com/guestbook.hmtl or http://www.mysite.com/cgi-bin/guestbook.html

your correct $basedir will look something like mine. The most important thing to do is to add the cgi-bin/ to your $basedir
____________________________________________________________

I have contacted my server and they have told me this:

Remote Host Directory /yourusername-www/
Script URL http://www.yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/script.pl
Home directory /home/yourusername/yourusername-www/

I have tried a few combinations and none seem to work.

Any help would be appreciated. (Hope the above is understandable!)

Thanks

What kind of error do you get?

Here is a link for help with cgi scripts. The most frequent errors are that the scripts aren't executable or that the path is incorrect. Also tell you us who your host is.

I am not getting any error messages. The guestbook just doesn't do anything after the pre loader!

I am with devilnet (UK).
