Simple Guestbooks

[bellringr]

I haven't found any help sections on TCH's help pages regarding this, nor have I seen anything in the forums, so here's my noob question.

 

I installed a simple guestbook, made a test entry, but when I go to View Guestbook on my cpanel, nothing comes up.

 

Is there something else I need to do to make it work? I've never done anything with cgi-bin before but I'm guessing it's something simple I'm missing.

 

Also, can I make a page come up when they click on Submit to say something like

"Thank you for signing my guestbook"?

 

Thanks for your help

Not from within cPanel, access the guestbook page directly:

yoursite.com/guestbookdirectory/

 

*yoursite.com is your domain address

*guestbookdirectory is where you told cpanel to install it.

 

Also, I moved your post from the Tutorial Suggestions forum for more exposure.

I ended up changing to the Advanced Guestbook. When I first read the option, I thought I had to know SQL to do it, but Lianna showed me how easy it was.

 

I don't know what I did wrong with the simple one, but I'm betting I needed to specify someplace for the information to go.

 

But Lianna's right - this is WAY better than the simple guestbook so I'm not going to worry about it.

 

Thanks!!!
