Posted: Mon Sep 02, 2002 4:14 am Post subject: DRALL Script Problem |
|
|
I am new to all this but find the challenge fun and exciting! I am trying to install a web based ftp upload program called Drall... The problem is I seem to get a bad directory specified message when I try to execute it. I looked at the .pl file and it's all towards /usr/bin/perl and my script is in my cgi-bin folder and perl is setup correctly to give me the error so whats my prob???

I was thinking does this have anything to do with the virtual path being /usr/bin/perl -w and therefore I need to set that up on my server as a virtual path??? I made one for /usr/bin/ with the real path to C:\Perl\bin
I still get a "Bad base directory specified in configuration" |

If Perl runs correctly, you can ignore the #! line and what comes in it.
We think it is a problem related to the configuration of the script itself not to the configuration of Abyss Web Server.
So we will take a look on the script and we will tell you more as soon as possible.

To solve your probem, open drall.pl using your favorite editor and locate line 315 which should be by default as follows:
Code: |
'base_dir' => '/home/httpd/html/127.0.0.1/',
|
and change it to the path of the directory the file manager should consider as the base. For example, in our case, we wanted to manage directory /home/zed/ so we modified the line to be:
Code: |
'base_dir' => '/home/zed/',
|
That's it. Now the script works perfectly :D _________________ Support Team

You should edit the drall.pl script and configure it yourself. Problems with scripts are 99% of the time out of the scope of Abyss Web Server.
If you need help with a particular script, the best is to ask his writer/editor for technical support.
Please understand that testing scripts and understanding what you did wrong with them takes us too much time. And that time can be better used in devloping and improving Abyss Web Server.
Thank you. _________________ Support Team
