A few questions.....
I am learning CGI....and starting from scratch....so please bear with me..
I am trying to install a Graphical counter. It consists of 3 files + the .gifs... the ipdata, counter and script plus the graphical digits. I have put the script and 2 complimentary files in the cgi-bin directory. The graphics directory is put in the /htdocs directory so the physical directory looks like this...
C:\program files\abyss web server\htdocs\digits\........gif
perl is installed to C:\perl\
I have entered this line in the html code...
<!--#exec cgi="cgi-bin/vipcounter.pl"-->
the instructions request to make some changes to the script and here is where I have some problems.....
what the action or shebang line should be?
my guess- "#!/usr/local/bin/perl"
what is my root url??
my Guess- "http://localhost/
what is the extention of digits image files??
my guess - "localhost/digits/"
I have read every post here and tried every suggestion.... to no avail...
the cloesest I have gotten is to see the counter.....but not count...and not be able to change the images....lol
Thanks....I hope my explanation is thorough enough... |

You should use <!--#exec cgi="/cgi-bin/vipcounter.pl"--> instead.

If you install Perl by following our guidelines at http://www.aprelium.com/abyssws/perl.html , you can ignore that line. Don't change it.

A file extension is .gif for example. But we don't really understand that last question??? _________________ Support Team
