- Unzip all of the files into a temporary directory.
- Copy all of the html files to your main web page directory.
COPY *.html e:\wwwserver\HTML
COPY *.gif e:\wwwserver\HTML
- Copy the exe and cfg files to your CGI-BIN directory.
COPY *.exe e:\wwwserver\CGI-BIN
COPY *.cfg e:\wwwserver\CGI-BIN
- Edit the configuration file to show the position of your web page directory.
e e:\wwwserver\CGI-BIN\guestbook.cfg
- For this example the file should be a single line containing
e:\wwwserver\HTML\
- Note the tailing backslash is important.
- Edit the top of the guestbook.html file, the top of the guestentry.html file and the confirm.html file to present the look you want.
- Use the guestbook to make your first entry, when you are sure it works add a link to it from your homepage.
- If upgrading from version 1.x keep your guestbook file. If the guestbook file grows
too large you can rename it and provide a link to it in the top of the current page.
- Note to Apache users: change the lines in the guestentry.html and the confirm.html
that contain the FORM line
- from /cgi-bin/guestentry to /cgi-bin/guestentry.exe
- and
- from /cgi-bin/confirm to /cgi-bin/confirm.exe
Note: DO NOT change the last three lines of the guestbook.html file. The script relies on the length of these lines to update the page.
