Well sitting here scracthing my head hasnt helped one bit so i thought i would release pride.pl and ask for help getting this working, lol

(using all basic directions given in the cfg until i get this fully working to edit to my needs)

1st server info

Server running NT Based Apache with active perl installed

2nd problems

index.html file in /htdocs/oj is not being written too, after posting, only the main artical file in the sub dir /story is being created. Origanlly had problems with permissions until i added a index.html file into the dir, one wasnt automatically created???

oj will not run the archiving command and gives same type of errors as above.

below is the vars from my cfg file if i have made any errors maybe you can tell me from this:

$mydir = "c:/apache/htdocs";
$progdir = "c:/apache/cgi-bin/";
$ojdir = "/oj";
$cgi_url = "/cgi-bin/oj.cgi";
$baseurl = "http://duw.hn.org";
$title = "DuW News & Updates";
$mesgdir = "story";
$ext = "html";
$mesgfile = "index." . $ext;

if anyother info is needed please let me know, i had similar errors on v1.2 this is v2.0, i had to almost rewrite the 1.2 version in the end, removing the archiving and have it update the index.html page only... which was okie but i really want to get it all working nicely :-)

Thanks in Advance

OJ by default tries to create any file it needs on-the-fly. Unfortunately, this is a tricky process sometimes, as different Web hosting companies allow the Web server software different permissions (complicated by different operating systems!).

So usually, yes, again, this is a permissions problem with the file in question, or the directory the file resides in. If the software is able to write to a subdirectory in that directory, then the permissions on the directory itself are probably set correctly. So try chmod'ing the index.html file to 777 and see if that works...
