I think I have the Journal installed correctly, but when I tried signing on for the first time....after I put in my username and password and clicked the button, I got a page not found error. What page is the script looking for?
If the problem is in my config file....

# Configuration Section for OpenJournal v2
# ----------------------------------------------------

# Path to your Web site's main HTML directory (where the oj subdirectory is;
# no trailing slash). This is also known to some people as their FTP directory.

$mydir = "/usr/local/etc/httpd/vhosts/www.tedwatkin.com";

# Complete path to your cgi-bin directory (no trailing slash). This is similar
# to what you put above, except it's to your site's program or cgi-bin directory.

$progdir = "/usr/local/etc/httpd/vhosts/www.tedwatkin.com/cgi-bin/oj/";

# Name of the OpenJournal directory (oj is default; no trailing slash). If you
# want OJ to manage your main homepage, put nothing between the quotes (like "")
# and edit the index file in the ojtemplates subdirectory to look like your
# homepage (keep the OJ HTML comments in the template file, though!).

$ojdir = "/usr/local/etc/httpd/vhosts/www.tedwatkin.com/oj";

# Web path to OpenJournal program (how you access your site's cgi-bin directory
# from your Web browser).

$cgi_url = "/www.tedwatkin.com/cgi-bin/oj/oj.cgi";

# Name of your Web server (no trailing slash):

$baseurl = "http://www.tedwatkin.com";

# Name of your OpenJournal:

$title = "my open journal";

# Name of subdirectory in the oj directory where archives of old articles
# and indexes are kept (story is default):

$mesgdir = "story";

# Default extension of file names (htm is default):

$ext = "htm";

# Default name of your index file (index is default):

$mesgfile = "index." . $ext;

# Will this OpenJournal be used by more than one person contributing to
# the same journal? Multiple users are supported per journal.
# 1 = Multiuser on, 0 = Multiuser off (default)

$multiuser = 0; # 1 = On, 0 = Off

Also, is oj.cfg, auth.pl, and oj.pl supposed to be 755 and basically everything else 777?
Thanks,
Lee Parker
