Setting up DCGuest97

Editing dcguest97.cgi - all you need to do is edit $path statement.
Try relative path.  That is

$path = ".";

If it doesn't work, just use the absolute directory path.


Editing dcguest97.setup - you will need to modify most of the variables
defined in this file.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Installing DCGuest97

- Create a directory in your cgi-bin named dcguest97 and upload files 1-4
- Chmod dcguest97.cgi to 755
- Create a sub directory under dcguest97 named Data and set permission to 777
- Upload guestbook.txt and guestcount.txt to 666

- Make sure you use ASCII mode when you transfer these files
- Make sure your data directory is set to 777

THAT's ALL FOLKS>>>>
