Note: The following includes everyone except SUSOGI.net and LILS.net accounts
After a long (and I mean long) discussion and going over and over again the additional scripts etc that we will want to offer as pre-installed options for all of you, in addition to a few things some of you have found when trying to install certain types of scripts Andrew and I have decided that a small change is needed to provide the 'best of both worlds', when it comes to the pre-installed scripts.
I will be changing the CNC of AOTA.net so that the 'new' way is what is generated on the scripts. The concern is for those that have already begun using the scripts like the mailform and menu redirection and counters etc... Once we do make this change -- those scripts will no longer work. (Don't get scared -- it will not happen for at least a month... so you do have time to get up-to-date).
The change we need you to make is a simple one... On the pre-installed scripts they are called using /cgi-bin/ we need you to change it from /cgi-bin/ to /cgi-sys/ NOT ON YOUR SCRIPTS -- Only on the ones that are being called from the server....
For the mail form, if you are using the one offered on aota.net you would change this line:
<FORM ACTION="/cgi-bin/mailform" METHOD="POST">
To:
<FORM ACTION="/cgi-sys/mailform" METHOD="POST">
Another example is with the counters...
change this
<IMG SRC="/cgi-bin/Count.cgi?df=CNCUserName-File.html....
To this:
<IMG SRC="/cgi-sys/Count.cgi?df=CNCUserName-File.html
cgi-sys will work now... so anyone with the time.. it's in your/our best interest to go ahead and make this change from /cgi-bin/ to /cgi-sys/ as soon as possible to prevent anyone from becoming 'stuck' at crunch time when we do make it a 'have to' situation.
We're very sorry for having to make this change as I know it's a royal pain to have go find the places these may be installed...but we feel it will help improve things in the long run and enable us to offer you more.
