gtille Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 I am a beginner. What do I do with the following message. If you are the administrator, edit the @okurls in the novice.cgi script or turn this feature off. Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 Welcome to the forums. What is the script you are trying to use? There is not enough information given to offer any help. Quote

Thanks for the prompt reply. When I tried to post an Advert in INFOLANKA WebSite , it prompted with the above message. The advert was not posted. Quote
stevevan Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 Welcome to the forums! While I'm not a script expert by any means, it looks to me like something might be set up incorrectly on the Infolanka site. Quote

chatbug Posted May 21, 2006 Posted May 21, 2006 (edited) Welcome to the forum, gtille. mostwanted: I don't know much about CGI programming personally, but you can find out more searching the web. One (outdated) place that can give you a good start is Webmonkey (h_tp://webmonkey.wired.com/webmonkey/programming/perl_cgi/). Not sure exactly what languages can be used for CGI, but I know Perl seems to be the most common. As I understand, CGI scripts are basically for data processing. They take data that you or your website visitor inputs, process it and present it in another way. Edited May 21, 2006 by chatbug Quote
Samrc Posted May 21, 2006 Posted May 21, 2006 Many basic web pages are built using HTML language. Many are written with PHP language. Some people build web pages with HTML and put code snippets of PHP into the page for special functions (get date/time from server, and lots of other things) Perl scripts (run from the cgi-bin) are used for counters, forms, guestbooks and much more. Take a look at this menu at hotscripts for ideas of what can be done using cgi scripts. http://hotscripts.com/CGI_and_Perl/Scripts_and_Programs/index.html. Just about anything that can be done with CGI/Perl is available in PHP. To implement PHP or CGI scripts for extra features, you must install them on your website and they require some basic or moderate coding to get them to work. Not just a simple copy and paste and working! Quote
