Forums?

[Richard]

Hello,

I was wondering if its be possible to setup a forum on the Abyss Web Server 1.0.3. By that i mean, something like ikonboard. Ikonboard makes use of cgi-scripts, but in the manual stands you have to upload it with FTP-access to the cgi-bin directory and you need to make use oh chmod command's. Is it possible to make use FTP-access to the Abyss Web Server???

Thx in advance.

Hello, tnx for reply

i tried that, by just copying the files in the cgi-bin directory, but when i try to startup the cgi script, it opens the script file in a sort of way, instead of running it.

for exampe, http://192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/ikonboard.cgi

probably im doing something wrong, still need to figure out what.

i'm sorry that i can't figure it out myself, but i dont understand a lot of cgi scripting. I really want to run a forum, and finally i found an webserver that runs nice on pc with 2 nic's init and now i can't figure out how it should work.

when i enter this adres in explorer

http://192.168.1.1:85/cgi-bin/yabb/yabb.cgi

i get as result information about the scripting inside the file, something like this

#!/usr/bin/perl

###############################################################################
# YaBB.pl

$YaBBversion = '1 Gold - SP 1.1';
$YaBBplver = '1 Gold - SP 1.1';

if( $ENV{'SERVER_SOFTWARE'} =~ /IIS/ ) {
$yyIIS = 1;
$0 =~ m~(.*)(\\|/)~;

etc.

I would be really thankfull if you could tell me what i have to input at the cgi parameters section. I already tried a few things, but i have no clue.

Thank you in advance.
