we are trying to use POD for our community website.
Server: IIS 4
Perl installed. and every thing is fine.

When i try to execute the script, the header and footer of the script does not appear.
see http://www.webvivekar.com/directory/directory.cgi
also check http://www.webvivekar.com/directory/header.htm
http://www.webvivekar.com/directory/footer.htm

Please suggest a solution.

Hi,

for one you need to modify a line in the file podvar.pm

LIne number: 219

return $pod_ph_text.$pod_header;

instructs the CGI proggy to print that Table command BEFORE the header!

it should read:

return $pod_header.$pod_ph_text;

try this, take an aspirin and call me in the morning...

Also have you set permission correctly for the header and footer files? so taht it is readable by the webserver?

I made the changes you told me.
Still the problem persists.

We are using IIS 4 under Win NT System with ActiveState Perl Installed. All my folders have read write execute permissions. my other programs are working just fine.

I am not using SSI here. Should i use SSI ?

[DarkMoon]

did you set up podvars correctly with the location of the HTML header and footer?

[DarkMoon]

I personally use SSI, you may want to try to use it as well

Hi Everyone )

I am having the same problem with my header and footer.

I've made the changes suggested above and still nothing.

I've changed the filepath to the header/footer in the podvars.pm file several times, moving the files out to the public_html root, and then back into the cgi-bin addressing the appropriate file paths to each and still nothing.

I actually managed to squeeze a body tag right into the 'header' section of the podvars.pm file and managed to change the color attributes that way....but this header/footer thing is driving me crazy...lol.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. )

Are you remembering to modify your template directory entry in podvars.pm to allow for the different ways NT and Unix handle directory structures? For every backslash in your physical NT directory, add another backslash like this...

$pod_templatedir = "c:\\inetpub\\cgi-bin\\pod";

This worked for me.
