I am trying to install WWWBoard Alpha Version 2.0. I am hoping some one out
there can help me.
My first question has to do with the POST code line in the HTML program
RE: http://web.wt.net/~rbca/wwwboard/wwwboard.html
wwwboards.html file is viewable and it lets me fill
out the form. But then I am unable to get it to do the form post.
Here is the code I am using :
<form method=POST action="http://www.rbca.com/cgi-bin/wwwboard.pl">
or
<form method=POST action="http://web.wt.net/~rbca/cgi-bin/wwwboard.pl">
I have tried both.
BUT I keep getting "can't find
cgi-bin/wwwboard.pl " or not authorized Message. What am I doing wrong ?
The Domain name of my site is
http://www.rbca.com and it is mapped to http://web.wt.net/~rbca .

My second question has to do with the CGI file.
RE : http://web.wt.net/~rbca/cgi/wwwboard.pl
I am having problems with the define variable part.
While editing the "wwwboard.pl" file, here is what I am putting in the
variable definition section :
# Define Variables
$basedir = "/home/rbca/public_html/wwwboard";
$baseurl = "http://web.wt.net/~rbca/wwwboard";
$cgi_url = "http://web.wt.net/~rbca/cgi-bin/wwwboard.pl";
$mesgdir = "messages";
$datafile = "data.txt";
$mesgfile = "wwwboard.html";
$faqfile = "faq.html";
$ext = "html";
$title = "RBCA Message Board";
# Done
---------------------------------------------------------------
I would really appreciate it if someone could possibly clue me in to what is
happening.
Thanks
Sam Basu
