Would someone please offer some input to determine why I can't use my browser to go to the guestbook. Keep getting 404 errors. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. I followed the directions closely. Tried several times still no luck.
Note I researched the forum and there were references to script errors. Wasn't able to use the info to help. http:www.help4amo.com.
This is my second attempt at asking for help via this format. First attempt didn't go very well. I was not up to speed with the proper procedures. Hope this goes better. If I need to ask my questions in a special way, please let me know.

Thanks Happypap

Hi,

I was able to see the guestbook and even signed it, however my entry is not showing. It appears there were modifications made other than just to the items marked in the cgi file? I would suggest trying to upload all of the files again, changing only the parts within:
################################################################# #####
# ONLY EDIT THIS PART OF THE SCRIPT!!!!

$guestlocation = "http://www.DOMAIN-NAME.COM/guestbook.htm";
$guestpath = "/big/dom/xDOMAIN-NAME/www/guestbook.htm";
$cgilocation = "http://www.DOMAIN-NAME.COM/cgi-bin/guest.cgi";
$youmail = 'YOU@YOUR-DOMAIN.com';
$yourname = "YOUR-NAME";

# DO NOT EDIT BELOW THIS LINE!!!!
################################################################# ####

Then test it and see if it works before making any changes to the other files.
