Thanks livin' free
Your comments are appreciated, but I really must stress that I am a real nivice with unix/ pearl.
According to the error, the file should reside at:
/home/kitachi/www/gbook.html
It does !! (well, I think so !)
When you ftp in, use the "pwd" command to see where you are, then "cd /home/kitachi/www/" and "put gbook.html".
well. it;s at : home/kitachi/www/gbook.html what difference does puttin' "cd in front make, what does "cd mean ??
If you chmod'ed the file to 644, you set it that you have read-write permissions, group and everyone else both have read-only permissions.
well, the readme file says :
4.) Permissions on the guestbook html file are wrong. Try
644 (read/write for owner and group, read for others).
On many servers, cgi scripts may not run as "you". If
this is the case, you must use 666 (read/write for all)
Maybee 666 will work ??!
I'm not sure what 'chmod'ed'm actuallt stands for.. I think it has loats to do with setting permisson though !!
I'm wondering if the problem lie in the permissions on
/cgi-bin/guestbook/bnbbook.cgi ...
Is there a "Readme" file that came with the package?
Yes, it says:
You did not set the permissions on the file properly.
You must "chmod 755" the script. This means the owner
can read/write/execute, and group and others can read
and execute.
Also, I get a bunch of script errors on the index page, and the pop-up displays in too small of a window - there's no resize bars on it either...
do you mean my initial mail pop up mail pop up ??
if so, that's a real drag, because it looks jut fin in both I5 and netscape 6 on my mac but far too smal on a pc (apparently).. that's somthing i've gotta iron out !
Also, be careful if you're going to allow HTML code to be posted by other on your site. The current trend in web-(anti?)security is leading towards more and more cross-site-scripting exploits, and it can do some mean stuff to your visitors.
thanks.. I'll bear that in mind, especially when I become more use to pearl 1
cheers for you time and help... I guess it's time for me to get stuck back into it !!
Much appreciated

PS I was in Orange County last year. It's a REALLY beautiful place and I had a great time there.
