 |
|
Im trying to install the wwwboard with Abyss Web Server X1 (v 2.4) I went by the book on installing perl declaring index files and soforth here http://www.aprelium.com/abyssws/perl.html and went by the book on installing the wwwboard but it still won't work and I get error 500 and here is the error I get from the cgi log
"CGI: [C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe wwwboard.pl ] URI: /cgi-bin/wwwboard.pl Broken pipe
No such file or directory at wwwboard.pl line 263."
I dont know if chmodding has anything to do with it because I have know why to change it but can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong???

I assume you're referring to this line:
| Code: | | open(NEWFILE,">$basedir/$mesgdir/$num\.$ext") || die $!; |
Make sure all the variables have a valid value. It's trying to create the message html file. It's stored in the /msg folder. Make sure this subfolder exists.

All the directorys are there and I made sure all the settings were the way they should be here afre the settings
$basedir = "F:\htdocs\wwwboard";
$baseurl = "http://192.168.1.125/wwwboard";
$cgi_url = "http://192.168.1.125/wwwboard/wwwboard.cgi";
$mesgdir = "http://192.168.1.125/wwwboard/messages";
$datafile = "http://192.168.1.125/wwwboard/data.txt";
$mesgfile = "http://192.168.1.125/wwwboard/wwwboard.html";
$faqfile = "http://192.168.1.125/wwwboard/faq.html";
and here is the error I am getting now in the cgi log
Invalid argument at wwwboard.cgi line 263.
CGI: [C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe wwwboard.cgi ] URI: /wwwboard.cgi Broken pipe
and I am still getting the error 500 Internal Server Error no matter what I do and by the way the OS is windows 2000 pro if that matters |

Here's part of my config:
| Code: | $mesgdir = "messages";
$datafile = "data.txt";
$mesgfile = "4LBL_board.htm";
$faqfile = "faq.htm"; |
Notice $mesgdir is a file reference, not a URL.
Same with $datafile, $mesgfile, and $faqfile.
That would explain why Perl has a filesystem error!

Try changing $base_dir to F:/htdocs/wwwboard
Perl might like it better :)
You might also see if Win2000 blocks writing access to the messages folder. Try creating a file named 1.htm.
BTW, I've used WinXP and Win98 with wwwboard and have had no problems.

Save this as makefile.cgi in the wwwboard dir. It will create wwwboard/messages/myhtml.html.
| Code: | #!/usr/bin/perl
use Fcntl; #The Module
print "content-type: text/html \n\n"; #The header
sysopen (HTML, './messages/myhtml.html', O_RDWR|O_EXCL|O_CREAT, 0755);
printf HTML "<html>\n";
printf HTML "<head>\n";
printf HTML "<title>My Home Page</title>";
printf HTML "</head>\n";
printf HTML "<body>\n";
printf HTML "<p align='center'>Here we have an HTML
page with a paragraph.</p>";
printf HTML "</body>\n";
printf HTML "</html>\n";
close (HTML);
print "HTML file should be written."; |
Just check if the file exists in the messages folder.

Yes it did work!!!!!
I also found a message board located here also called WWWBOARD
http://nms-cgi.sourceforge.net/scripts.shtml
and it did the same thing
Don't I have to chmod the files? if so how do I do that |

Well, the problem is not with Perl writing files. Chmodding is not your problem (that's Unix-specific - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chmod). It must be your configuration file for WWWboard.
BTW, the site you listed gives the exact same script.
You can email or PM me your wwwboard.pl file and I'll look over it for errors if you want.
