Help for a new Guy!!!!
Hi there,

I am new to cgi, i have uploaded everything to my server. But it is not working.

Could you check it out and let me know what you think??

I know i must sound pretty stupid here, and i am sorry.

If someone could help, i would really appreciate it.

Here is the url.

http://www3.sk.sympatico.ca/search/

That just opens the directory, none of the cgi files work for some reason.

Thanks for any help.

Sorry, forgot to capitalize Search and add farr.

The URL is
http://www3.sk.sympatico.ca/farr/Search

Try that, thanks for helping.

I think you've got the wrong path for your cgi-bin. I can go through all of the files in your http://www3.sk.sympatico.ca/farr/Search/cgi-bin/admin/ folder, which is:

1) Very bad!

2) Not allowed in any properly configured cgi-bin server setup that I'm aware of.

Have you tried building the database? I'm guessing you haven't and that if you do you will get internal server errors.

You have wrong path for admin directory and page builds for a start.

Contact your isp for your server path, Then give it another go :-)

# PATH and URL of Admin CGI directory. No Trailing Slash.
$db_script_path = "/search/cgi-bin/admin";
$db_dir_url = "http://www3.sk.sympatico.ca/farr/search/cgi-bin/admin";

# URL of User CGI directory. No Trailing Slash.
$db_cgi_url = "http://www3.sk.sympatico.ca/farr/search/cgi-bin";

# PATH and URL of Pages to be built. No Trailing Slash.
$build_root_path = "/alex/links/pages";
$build_root_url = "http://www3.sk.sympatico.ca/farr/search/pages";
