CGI Script problems

Paulson sent me the script he uses for pics.paulsonator.com to host pictures. I tried installing it on my site and I am having a bit of a problem. When you try to create an account I get the following error:

Software error:
Permission denied at /home/allnasca/public_html/cgi-bin/create.cgi line 178.


I checked line 178 and its:

open(FILE, ">>$basedir/$tempinfo") || die $!;


Any ideas?
 
Im suppose to chmod the file to 755 according to the .cgi. But that doesnt work. When I chmod it 666, i get

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /cgi-bin/create.cgi on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Click to expand...

$tempinfo is create.cgi?

755 is read write execute for owner, and read and execute for all others. that line of code opens a file to append text to it. so you need it to let other people write to it.

my guess is that $tempinfo is not create.cgi... doesn't make sense to be writing to a cgi script...
 
Thx Gopunk. Tempinfo was tempdatabase in my data folder. It works now. I forgot to chmod that 666. Stupid me.
 
Um, I gave Paulson that script with the explicit instructions not to give it out to anyone else without my permission.

Ugh. :disgust:

No, I know you. You're cool. It's just really irritating that my direct request regarding distribution of the script was disobeyed. lol, wonder if this is how it feels to be pirated. 😕

I'll help you get everything set up tomorrow after 3 PM or so...obviously I know the tricks to get it working. Night night.
 
I dont want to get anyone introuble or anything. Maybe Paulson forgot? I dont think he would do anything against your wishes on purpose.
