View Full Version : Successful CGI installs!

I just wanted to shout "woo-hoo"! In celebration of getting some of the cgi-scripts working.

So far I've installed the guestbook and the Faq-O-Matic. Guest book was fairly simple. Faq-O-Matic not as simple. I wrestled with that one for several hours yesterday. Almost posted a message here asking for help, but went back, one more time, and read the directions and somehow it worked that time.

I don't even want to think how much more difficult it would be to install the Faq-O-Matic without it being a "pre-installed script" on FQ.

I do have some scripts of my own I will be wanting to install in the not-too-distant future. I hope it will go well.

Anyway, I was just so excited about what I accomplished so far and wanted to share. My site isn't really ready for public unveiling. Still much to do.

I just went over and surfed the FAQ-O-Matic on your site...g'job!

You're one of the first I've seen use it.... if it seems like something you like we'll make a better effort at making sure we have the most recent versions online ;)

Thanks. Yesterday, when I was trying to get the proper config screen to come up half-way through the install process, I finally got it and I jumped up, threw my arms up in the air and shouted "Yes!" as my husband and his friend looked at me, wondering what I was so excited about.

I suspected as much, and almost posted a message here stating same, since my search on this forum of "Faq-O-Matic turned up zero results.
if it seems like something you like we'll make a better effort at making sure we have the most recent versions online2.63 isn't the most recent version?

I think I like it so far. Only, making new entries and editting seems a bit confusing, at least at first. I don't know if that will put off some of my newsgroup readers such that they won't contribute to the FAQ or not.

There is a link at the bottom of your FAQ linking to the faq-o-matic which will lead you to the newest version.[nbsp][nbsp]If you think you need the newer one.. let us know
