tagboard

[NEGS26]

i've just joined insider hosting and have been uploading to the ip address while waiting for my domain to resolve. i added a tagboard to my site, which works fine on the ip site, but refuses to work on the real domain one (i get an internal service error). can someone help me out? thanks!

Hi Negs,
In case you didn't get Tal's response on the helpdesk I will paste the output here.


Hello XXX,
Can you show us examples of how it works on the IP but not the domain. Generally speaking that error denotes the fact that there is a misconfigured variable in the script.

the tagboard script includes an inline frame which shows the file of what what everyone has posted. this inline frame/file is what is malfunctioning on my site. i haven't explained it very well, so here are the links:

http://66.220.30.58/~gloria/ = ip address
http://www.gloooria.com = domain address

thanks for replying so quickly!

gloria,
post the scripts config file so we can see. That error is a variable's path most likely not being set correctly.

also it looks like the script is a php script, which means that it doesn't go in the cgi-bin directory, it can go anywhere in your public_html folder.

here's the config file:
http://www.gloooria.com/tags.txt

it is indeed a php file. i didn't write the code, but the installation directions said to place the files in the cgi-bin folder. odd, but i did it anyway.

thanks again!

Gloria,
Check out this part
//DO NOT EDIT PAST THIS LINE!!! UNLESS --> If you do not have tagboard installed in the /cgi-bin/tagboard/ directory
// you must edit one line...scroll down and look for the commentation in the
// display_form() function. Lines 173 & 175.

right, but my tagboard.php file IS in the /cgi-bin/tagboard/ directory...i'm confused. sorry, it's been a long week:confused:

its looking for glooria.com/cgi-bin/tagboard/cgi-bin/tagboard/tagboard.txt

thanks harmonic for taking a look and telling Gloria what the problem is. That is what these forums are for.

i would go to:

lines 173 & 175.

and change the folder from


./cgi-bin/tagboard


to just


./


and see if that maybe works.

or try placing tags.php in your root directory, so it looks to the cgi-bin for the files.

i changed the script location to "./~gloria/cgi-bin/tagboard", so now it works on the domain site and not on the ip address one, which is just fine. thanks for all your help!
