Installing GuestBook

[Kwadwo]

I want to install and use the guestbook that you offer. But I'm having problems. I downloaded the zipped V/Domain guestbook file, unzipped it and found 3 files guestbook.html, guestbook.setup.cgi and index.html. What do I have to do to guestbook.setup.cgi to make it setup and install. I've attempted to run it in cgi-bin with 755 permissions but I get error 500. It doesn't run in the www directory.

Thanks.

Hello Kwadwo,

Unfortunately, some of the system cgi scripts are down at the moment, due to the new server install and having to rearrange several facets of the server operation...

In the interim, I will personally install a guestbook script into your domain cgi-bin, if you would like...

Many parts of our shared CGI bin code is having to be rewritten, and we will go into directly into the -Beta- phase for testing...

We have many development projects going on, and I hope to refocus my attention on the core system CGI scripts very soon...

The mailform has been reworked to handle the new server, as this had the highest request rate...

Rolling out shared CGI system scripts takes diligent care - and I want to ensure the maximum benefit that can be received from such...

I am also looking at removing the transparent mod_rewrites that is handling this and just going with 'cgi-sys' to get access to the Server cgi scripts... This is still being debated at the moment...
