    Question Newbie Question

    Hey I am a complete perl newbie and I have a stupid question. I need the absolute address to a file called guestbook.html its in the /www directory. I tried using /www/guestbook.html as the absolute filename and about a hundred other things. Whenever I run the script for the guestbook, it either A.) Makes a new guestbook.html file in the cgi-bin, or B.) Doesn't do anything. Please help

    Makes a new guestbook.html file in the cgi-bin

    Where is this in relation to the guestbook.html file you're trying to reference?

    Are you certain they're asking the for server path or the URI?
    for(split(//,'))*))91:+9.*4:1A1+9,1))2*:..)))2*:31.-1)4131)1))2*:3)"'))
    {for(ord){$i+=$_&7;grep(vec($s,$i++,1)=1,1..($_>>3)-4);}}print"$s\n";

    The guestbook.html is the output file. And its the server path. I already know the URL, it takes me there fine. There is just nothing on it. T.T

    Perhaps you should post that part of the script and the path where the script is currently at. Is guestbook.html is the same directory as the script?

    Ask your web host for the server path to your www directory, then add whatever directory you need on top, for example: /some/long/path/www/guestbook.html.

    The path may include your account name, or something else, depending on your host.

    No. The guestbook file is in /www/ script is in cgi-bin. I tried making it view html files from the cgi-bin but is isn't working..
