4. Configuration |
Configuration of Argala Guestbook is SIMPLE and EASY!
Before you run the guestbook program, you are required to do the following first:
You can enter 'which perl' or 'whereis perl' at the command prompt of your UNIX server to find out the location of the PERL interpreter.
For example, by typing 'which perl', you may receive the following reply :
which perl
/usr/local/bin/perl
As the location is different from our pre-defined one, you need to change the first line of arguest.cgi from #!/usr/bin/perl to #!/usr/local/bin/perl.
If you are still unable to find it, please ask your web host where it is located.
Modification of Argala Guestbook Configuration File (arguest.cfg)
You should create 3 html pages - guestform.htm, display.htm and thankyou.htm which are used by the script. You can use your html authoring tools to create these pages to suit your style on your website.
The web page guestform.htm is used to display the sign up form. You can create your own style. After you create this page, please insert the text #GUESTBOOK_FORM# in your page so that the program will look for the keyword and replace it with the sign up form.
The web page display.htm is used to display your guestbook. You can create your own style. After you create this page, please insert the text #DISPLAY_FORM# in your page so that the program will look for the keyword and replace it with guestbook data.
The web page thankyou.htm is used to thank your visitors. You can create your own style. After you create this page, please insert the text #THANKYOU# in your page so that the program will look for the keyword and replace it with 'Thank you' message and a link to your guestbook.
