Moved my web from Verizon, I'm almost done in one day. Been very pleased with how easy it has gone.

One of my last tasks is to get my guestbook running again. I use a very simple guestbook, but it has all I need it for. It's a freeware Perl script written by Matt Wright. I know how to make the edits, I just don't know what the correct path strings should be.

Here is a code snippet from the the last web hosting server I used, showing only the variables definitions I need to change:

$guestbookurl = "http://www.iabsi.com/gk/gk.html";
$guestbookreal = "d:/216.122.28.60/gk/gk.html";

$guestlog = "d:/216.122.28.60/gk/gklog.html";

$cgiurl = "http://www.iabsi.com/cgi-bin/gk.pl";
$date_command = "/sbin/date";

$mailprog = '/usr/lib/sendmail';

NOTES:
$guestbookurl
The url address of your guestbook.html file.

$guestbookreal
The system location of your guestbook.html file.

$guestlog
The system location of your guestlog.html file.

$cgiurl
The url portion of the address to the guestbook.cgi file The file guestbook.cgi needs to be placed in your server's cgi-bin and chmoded read/execute for users of your httpd. (chmod a+rx)

I had a fixed IP address last time. I don't need fixed any longer. It would save me a lot of banging around if you already know what the paths should look like for these entries.

Thanks!
Bill

Nevermind; I figured it out:

$guestbookreal = "/home/myuserid/public_html/gk/gk.html";

$guestlog = "/home/myuserid/public_html/gk/gklog.html";
