Greetings:

Thank you for such a warm resource here in the forums and your invaluable work by designing and sharing the online journal. I know just enough to be dangerous which means far less than practical. This is what I have put in my oj.cfg file. I think my first mistake is what I put at $mydir=. There is no other named directory above my oj subdirectory unless it is the name of my site. Could you just look this over to see if I am at least headed in the right direction? If I change the name of the journal here, do I have to change it elsewhere, etc.? Thank you for any assistance you are willing to give.

# 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 = "/cgi-bin";

# 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 = "";

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

$cgi_url = "/cgi-bin/oj.cgi";

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

$baseurl = "http://www.windwhispers.org";

# Name of your OpenJournal:

$title = "Wind Whispers...";

# 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

# Your OpenJournal will automatically archive itself if you want it to.
# This means the main index file will be saved as an archived index file
# and is then available in the /oj/story subdirectory.

# Automated indexing uses the day of the week to determine whether to
# archive the main index file and start a fresh page for you. It only
# works reliably if you log in every day.

# Day to archive: 0=Sun, 1=Mon, 2=Tues, etc.
# If you only want to archive once a month, set this to 30.
# If you want to turn this function off, set to 99999.

$daytoarchive = "99999";

# Your local time zone:

$timezone = "CDT";
