I am a total neophyte as my question will attest. I am trying to put a guestbook cgi onto my website but in order for it to work I have to set a number of variables:
$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.pl file
I understand the first and last locations but I have no idea what the "system location" means. In the script the example is
$guestbookreal = "/home/yourname/public_html/guestbook.html";
I don't understand what info to put here. I have my own .com address and it is hosted somewhere else (not on my computer) . Does "home" refer to the drive location of my files or the folder in my directory where my files are kept.
For example if my domain was wanker.com and when I logged into my web files the folder that contained my files was called wanker-www would that equal the "home" location?
I know that this is a convoluted post (and kind of lame) but I haven't been able to find any answers from the site where I got the script. I am still looking though.
Thanks
