UNIX PATH info required PLEASE HELP (I'm new to unix)
I need to know how to enter a unix path in a cgi script for a guest book:
example:
My URL is
http://www.kitachi.info
I have an html file in the main folder on my site, the file is called :
gbook.html
what would the correct unix path for this file be ???
the part of the script I'm working with looks like this, but I know the actual address/ path is wrong..
$GUESTBOOK="/usr/home/kitachi.info/gbook.html";
I've been playing around with it for ages but it's started to drive me insane!
You can see what I'm trying to do if you goto:
http://www.kitachi.info/gbook.html
Then try and submit the form.
Basically , I think that when the form is submitted from the html to the cgi script, the cgi needs to look back through the folder directory and pinpopint the gbook.html file (using the unix path).
I've asked the tech support at my server about this but they aren't much help.
Am I mad, or can someone help me ??
Thank you very much in advance :O)
Regards
Adrian

NAME
Ns_AbsoluteUrl, Ns_ParseUrl, Ns_RelativeUrl, Ns_SkipUrl - URL manipulation routines
SYNOPSIS
#include "ns.h"
int
Ns_AbsoluteUrl(Ns_DString *pds, char *url, char *baseurl)
int
Ns_ParseUrl(char *url, char **pprotocol, char **phost,
char **pport, char **ppath, char **ptail)

Ns_RelativeUrl(char *url, char *location)
char *
Ns_SkipUrl(Ns_Request *request, int n)
_________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
Ns_AbsoluteUrl(pds, url, baseurl)
Construct an URL based on baseurl but with as many parts of the incomplete url as possible. Return NS_OK or NS_ERROR.
Ns_ParseUrl(url, pprotocol, phost, pport, ppath, ptail)
Parse a URL into its component parts. Pointers to the protocol, host, port, path, and "tail" (last path element) will be set by ref-
erence in the passed-in pointers. The passed-in url will be modified.
Ns_RelativeUrl(url, location)
If the url passed in is for this server, then the initial part of the URL is stripped off. e.g., on a server whose location is
http://www.foo.com, Ns_RelativeUrl of "http://www.foo.com/hello" will return "/hello". Returns a pointer to the beginning of the
relative url in the passed-in url, or NULL if error. Will set errno on error.
Ns_SkipUrl(request, n)
Return a pointer n elements into the request's url.
