Hi, I am new to CGI and would appreciate the help as this has me stumped!
• I am trying to run a Perl (.pl) script on abyss version V1.2.2.2
• The script mentioned is the 'nms guestbook' from Matt's Script Archive.
• I have the script in the Abyss cgi-bin directory.
• I have the 3 guestbook html files in a sub directory of 'htdocs' called 'guestbook'.
• I have changed the 4 urls in the guestbook.pl file so it reflects my server address and file structure - see below
$guestbookurl = 'http://220.50.112.20/guestbook/guestbook.html';
$guestbookreal = '/guestbook/guestbook.html';
$guestlog = '/guestbook/guestlog.html';
$cgiurl = 'http://220.50.112.20/cgi-bin/guestbook.pl';
• Line 1 of the guestbbok.pl file reads as folows: #!/usr/bin/perl -w
• I have changed the urls in the 'addguest.html' file so they reflect the location and file structure ofmy server.
• I have installed Perl (not sure if it is correctly installed). The version I am using is 'ActivePerl-5.6.1.638'.
• I have setup the server as follows:
CGI INTERPRETERS
(Interpreter)C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe (Assc. Ext.)pl cgi
(Interpreter)/cgi-bin/guestbook.pl (Assc. Ext.)pl
CGI PATHS
(path)/*.pl
(path)/*.cgi
(path)/guestbook.pl
• I havent touched the mime types
• The error appears when I go to this page:
http://220.50.112.20/guestbook/addguest.html
I enter in some details and then it comes back with an error message:
'Application Error'
'An error has occured in the program'
The log file says the following:
open /guestbook/guestbook.html.lck: No such file or directory at guestbook.pl line 592.
I have looked at line 592 but i dont understand that part of the code.
Does anyone have any idea where I may be doing something wrong?
Thanks for any help in advance
Joe
