GUESTBOOK
Allow visitors to sign your
guestbook and leave a
message. Installation
You should edit the following 3
files to suit your website.
guest.cgi - the actual script.
add.html - the html page that calls the script to add a
new guest.
guestbook.html - the html page that holds the guestbook
entries and displays them.
Please edit the
guest.cgi script per the instructions contained within.
Using your favorite FTP
program, upload the guest.cgi script to your cgi-bin
directory. Make absolutely certain that when uploading,
your FTP software is set to ASCII and not BINARY. If you
upload it in BINARY mode it will be corrupted. All Perl
scripts must be uploaded in ASCII mode. Now we need to
change the attributes of the CGI script to 0755. In Unix
this is called a CHMOD 755. However; most Windows based
FTP programs will simply refer to it as
"attributes".
Go to your /httpdocs/
directory and using your FTP software, create a new
directory named: guestbook.
So your directory structure will look like: /httpdocs/guestbook/
Using your FTP software we
need to CHMOD the /guestbook/ directory to 755.
Now, upload add.html,
guestbook.html to your /httpdocs/guestbook/ directory,
again making certain to use ASCII mode. Also, add all of
the image files to the same directory.
Congratulations!
You have just installed a guestbook!
