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.

# 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!).

# 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";

$mydir = ""; #This would put the index page to your www directory. Did you make an oj directory when installed? In that case you would need to find that path and put it in. For instance, on the server I am hosted on you can find your paths by doing this in a browser "domain.netfirms.com/cgi/printenv".
