CGI Scripts for Mysite website?

Hi everyone. I'd like to thank you in advance if you give me any information about my following question. I own webspace from Verizon. I don't use the SiteBuilder, but instead I make my webpages from CSS, HTML, Javascript, ect. and use FTP to transfer the files onto my webspace. I have read that Verizon lets users incorporate pre-made CGI scripts into their page, so I thought I'd give it a try. I have been trying to use the "Guestbook" script, following exactly what they say to do to install it. But once I have installed everything into a page and FTP it to my webspace, it gives me a 404 Error, saying it can't find "../guestbook.exe" (after submiting my comment). Can anyone help me with this problem? I followed these directions exactly:
http://www.verizon.net/central/vzc.portal?_nfpb=true&action=Using%20the%20Guestbook%20Script&_pageLa...
Please help me. Thank you.

It seems they have wrong info on there.
This is the code on my site using the site builder.

  • Any Suggestions for CGI Script for Web Slide Slow?

    Do you have any suggestions for creating a slideshow for my web site, 6 same-size jpgs that rotate automatically?
    I think I prefer a cgi script. However, I've tried two that don't work on Firefox or Safari. One developer tells me that he can see the rotating photos.
    I'm also open to software to create this. However, I'd prefer to use html code.
    Of course, it must work cross platform.
    Any suggestions?

    Oh, what a beautiful baby! Is he/she yours?
    She is mine. At least that's what the Mrs. tells me!
    When you say gif, I am assuming that you mean the
    format really must be gif and not jpg. Is that
    correct?
    Yes, the file is a GIF file. It's actually an animated GIF file, meaning that the images that you see are all frames of animation in a single GIF file. There are a lot of apps out there that can create animated GIFs. I happen to use Adobe ImageReady because that is what is on the hard drive.
    Can you give me a hint about the dithering issue? Do
    I dither or not dither, that is the question.
    This is the major downside of the GIF format. It is a really old format...from back in the CompuServe bulletin board days...maybe older. Anyways, it is my understanding that GIFs can only hold information for 256 colors....any 256 colors, but no more and no less. So now in the days of "millions of colors" jpegs, you can imagine that a 256 color palette is limiting. But if the colors of your images are sufficiently close, its possible that 256 colors makes for perfectly acceptable images across all images. This is the one variable of converting images to GIF that can make it or break it for you. If your image has a pretty broad tonal range...like fleshtones or any other gradient...then 256 colors is going to represent things poorly. Then you will get dithering artifacts which is like averaging errors...colors are close...as close as possible...but not close enough to make a smooth gradation. Anyways, that's my layperson's understanding.
    But for some images, it looks just fine.

  • Need antispam script for my website guestbook entries... recommendations?

    My guestbook on my website got so slammed by spambots that i had to take it offline. I would like to get one of those scripts where the person has to fill in what they see in a box (letters, numbers, etc) in order to make an entry into my guestbook. My web designers says that i need to find a script for this. Any recommendations? I don't even know what these scripts are called, making them hard to look for!
    He does the website work in Dreamweaver in Tiger, if that makes any difference. This is a guestbook that forwards entries to me as emails (they are not diplayed on the site)

    Unless I'm misunderstanding what you're trying to do, you don't need a preloaded for embed movies.  The page will load without any delay.  It's not until the user chooses to play a movie will it begin downloading / streaming it from the server.  Even if the video is a large file, internet users are use to this type of scenario where they choose to play a movie, ala youtube and others, that if their connections are slow there may be delays in video playback.  With all that said, I have seen and used page loaders where visitors will be expecting to wait a while for a result to happen, I just don't think this scenario warrants it.

  • CGI script for forms

    Hi,
    I have to add form elements to my help topics for getting
    feedback from users. This requires a CGI script to recognizes the
    form elements. While I understand that this is primarily the job of
    a developer, can anyone help me with a reusable script so that I
    can work on my own.
    Thanks much!

    Try
    here.. I think the
    "FormMail" script is the one you need.

  • CGI script for simple form

    Can anyone give me a CGI script that will make a form
    automatlly e-mail the information gathered from an online form?
    Can that code be placed right into the html file?

    There are only two ways to process form data -
    1. Use mailto:[email protected] as the action of the form
    2. Use a server-side scripting method to a) harvest the
    form's data, b)
    process it in some manner, e.g., enter it into a database, c)
    formulate and
    send an email to one or more email recipients, and d)
    redirect the visitor
    to some ending page
    Method 1 is quite simple, and is also the least reliable. It
    depends both
    on your visitor having an email client already installed on
    their computer -
    this eliminates public computers, or home users without email
    clients
    installed (more and more it seems) - and on the installed
    email client
    responding to
    the mailto call. It is not possible to use this method *and*
    send the
    visitor to a
    thank you page as well.
    Method 2a is the preferred method, since it eliminates the
    problems of
    method
    1, but it means that you have to grapple with
    server-scripting somehow (ASP,
    CF, PHP, perl, etc.).
    Method 2b would be to use some third-party form processing,
    like
    http://www.bebosoft.com/products/formstogo/,
    or if your server supports PHP,
    you could investigate
    http://www.geekministry.com/formbuilder/,
    a very nice
    product by a frequent poster here.
    You would have to decide which of these methods is best for
    your needs,
    but if it's Method 2a, then start by asking your host what
    they provide for
    form
    processing. If it's 2b, then read their FAQ/instructions
    carefully.

  • CGI Script for Go Daddy hosting

    I just transferred my website to GoDaddy web hosting. I m
    trying to figure out what script or code to use for my Form, but
    nothing seems to work. Does anybody know about this? Also, what to
    put into the Property Inspector for Form Action and Method and Enc
    Type. Many,many thanks!

    Just ignore the naysayers?
    Why? Are our experience with GoDaddy invalid, trivial or a
    fluke compared to yours?
    "With difficulty on the way"..... Why? Is this something that
    might have been avoided without so many restrictions on server
    functionality? I had some very friendly reps there try to help, and
    they were great, but they couldn't resolve a some "known" issues.
    Is the "difficulty" you experienced something a person new to
    building websites would find more difficult than you did? Do you
    use other hosts where you can say you have experienced the same
    difficulty?
    Please don't take me wrong.
    I used to be in the same position as you. I had a few sites,
    including 2 Cartweaver sites, hosted there with no problem. I think
    the reason I had no problems was in large part to the fact that I
    didn't need support in setting up things like database connections
    and so on. I was able to figure out how to do things on the servers
    from experience, with some work arounds.
    I do remember thinking a few times that it would have been
    very difficult doing some of the things I did if I were still
    learning, especially with a couple ecommerce sites. That's the
    point.
    I saw many complaints and issues in this forum as well as
    others, including Cartweaver's newsgroups, about dynamic sites
    there and I didn't "ignore" all of the naysayers even though I
    hadn't had trouble yet.
    I figured there must be some truth to their experience. They
    certainly weren't making things up.
    Besides, who was I to say my experience was the norm and
    others should expect the same because that's how it is for me?
    I did have better support and service, with less "difficulty"
    and restrictions at a few other hosts I was using, but it wasn't a
    big issue as I wasn't having major trouble at GD.
    Unfortunately, my luck ran out.
    However, because I didn't ignore the naysayers I had decided
    to test them longer before migrating more sites. It's a good thing
    I did, and I'm grateful to those who shared their experiences,
    because I only had to move a few sites off and not many more.
    The latest was a "known issue" on a certain server causing an
    HTTP error intermittently, for hours. For weeks, I went back and
    forth as it was "fixed" and reappeared again. This was a Cartweaver
    site.
    Obviously, the client pulled the plug. You can't hang an
    "Open intermittently" sign on an online store.
    The site was moved, with no changes what-so-ever to any code,
    to another host. The problem immediately disappeared, and has
    remained gone.
    I do still have 1 CW site hosted with them that hasn't had
    major trouble yet. It's on another server and low traffic.
    The point is, I have experienced trouble too many times that
    cost time and money and shouldn't have.
    There is value to this experience, and others who have had
    the same.
    You can certainly say you've had no trouble, and that's
    great. There's value in that, as well.
    However, telling someone relatively new to just "ignore"
    issues that others have had doesn't make sense to me.
    If some web developers have reported trouble, isn't it a good
    idea to do some research or at least see how one site works there
    for a while before putting up a lot more?
    Experiences others have had, especially when they are trying
    to help someone new, shouldn't be ignored just because yours is
    different. You can't guarantee the person will have the same
    experience as you, so all points of view should be listened to and
    weighed.
    Take care,
    Tim

  • I'm looking for a random quote script for my website?

    So I've got a very large numbered list of quotes. I want to set up a  little text thing on my website's homepage so it displays a randomly  selected quote from the list which changes every day. Can anyone write  me a script to do this? I had one, but it stopped working and no one's  been able to help me fix it (I've tried to get help with that more times  than I care to remember) and I decided that it would be better to just  get a new script.

    I have a random script, but it also seems to not be working the way it was originally written, it now outputs a number 1  along with the intended output.
    Take a peek here, there is a rotator script I am about to use on a site I am workng on.

  • Best / most popular software or scripts for adding search function to website?

    I'm trying to find a good piece of software or script for implementing a site search function into our website.  I am relatively knowledgeable in Dreamweaver and can write CSS and XHTML at the fairly intermediate to advanced level, as well as work with JavaScript and js files, but I don't really know much ASP or "by hand" Java coding.  Their are so many scripts and software out there for adding a site search that it's hard to sort through and narrow down.  I was hoping to find reviews of the popular ones or "top 10 lists" of some sort that would help me pinpoint a good one, but can't find anything like that.  These are the primary needs of the website:
    --Has under 50 searchable pages that won't change much and probably won't exceed 50. There are product part numbers and descriptions for some 250-300 part numbers, spread across only 24 of those pages.  The remaining pages are important but no part numbers-- About Us, News, Where to Buy, History, Featured Products, etc.  The product pages are very much like an online store but we don't sell directly on the site (only thru distributors/reps).
    --We are trying to keep the price under about $50, or use a free solution
    --The pages are all static XHTML+CSS pages, but our server can run ASP (we have another website for one of our other product line divisions, on the same server, with many more products beyond 1000, which was programmed completely in ASP by an outside company about 4 years ago).  We self-host both sites.
    --Our server can't run PHP
    --The search capabilities need only be rather basic-- a keyword search with a results page that uses the same design template as the rest of the site.  It would be nice, but not mandatory, to have a search filter and/or a drop down menu to enable selectively searching only certain parts of the site, or only product/part number search vs. general search, etc. (but again, not mandatory).
    --I do have a sitemap page already on it, if that matters or helps
    Some of the ones I've found so far that looked the most promising include:  Zoom Search Engine (http://www.wrensoft.com/zoom/), Site Search Pro (http://www.site-search-pro.com/), and FX Site Search which is a DW Extension I found in the exchange (http://www.felixone.it/extensions/prod/mxssen.asp)-- (that one looks possibly technically challenging or requiring more ASP skill, though)
    Forgive me if there is a better area to post this, if so let me know.

    For a static site, your options are:
    Google ~  http://www.google.com/sitesearch/
    Freefind ~ http://www.freefind.com/
    Zoom from Wrensoft ~ http://www.wrensoft.com/zoom/

  • What CGI scripts are recommended for form2email?

    My site is on register.com. I'm trying to use a script from form2email.net which was recommended by that host. The Dreamweaver code for the form looks fine to me. The script (written in Perl) executes, goes to a thank_you page, sends an email with correct from, to and subject. But the body of the email has no data except for the value of the submit button and info the script adds to any email it sends. I modified the script for my app using Notepad ++, changing only user-specified fields that had to be changed. I'd appreciate thoughts on what might be wrong, or a recommendation for a form2email script that works well with Dreamweaver.
    register.com says they can't help with "coding problems," though they recommended the script, and I couldn't find help for my problem at the developer's site.

    Why do you have 2 form tags on your HTML file?
    The reason why you're getting just 'Submit: [Send]' in your e-mail is because you're closing your actual form before your 'submit' button and starting another form just for the 'submit' button.
    Your formmail script interprets the only value is your '[send]' and it just parses that as an e-mail to you.
    Change your code this way:
       <form action="http://www.advocatesforclassicalmusic.org/cgi-bin/docentreq.pl" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" name="DocentRequest" id="DocentRequest">
          <p><strong>Date

    Remove the lines that I've striked out from your HTML file and that should fix the issue.

  • Formmail action & cgi scripts

    I have 2 forms I built in CS3 that have to be processed in a
    secure manner. I followed the advice I found online and from my
    webhost (network solutions) and downloaded Visual Form Mail Pro. I
    uploaded the cgi script files to the cgi-bin on the server and
    setup the permissions. When I click the submit button on the form,
    I get an Internal Server Error message. I think the problem is the
    action field on the properties panel. I cannot find anything that
    will tell me what the action should be. I cannot use the mailto
    action, the forms are for secure medical information to be
    forwarded to a dr's office. One other issue with how the form needs
    to be processed to email, is my client wants the email sent to his
    gmail account, how do I configure that?
    the url for the form I tried to configure is
    https://www.stluciegi.com/contact/patientcontact.html

    ou can use PHP on this hosting?
    I'd suggest using the phpformmail script.
    here's my stock cut 'n paste on what to set to what, and why
    1)go to
    http://http://developerkarma.com/projects
    -->phpformmail
    download it.
    extract the ZIP file.
    More detailed instructions are in the docs folder. These
    shortcut
    instructions are for version 1.07 of the phpformmail script.
    2) open formmail.php in dreamweaver
    Make the following changes (in code view, turn line numbers
    on)
    2a)
    line 4,
    define('CHECK_REFERER', true);
    change to:
    define('CHECK_REFERER', false);
    reason: too many people use a firewall or Norton security to
    restrict this.
    2b)
    Line 43
    $referers = array('www.example.com', 'example.com');
    change to the domain name of your web site.
    reason: this probably isn't needed since we just turned the
    referrer
    checking off. but change it anyway.
    2c)  *this is to hard-code the recipient address into
    the php
    file, where it is totally invisible *
    Line 46
    $recipient_array = array();
    change to:
    $recipient_array = array('me' =>
    '[email protected]');
    **of course, replace [email protected]  with
    the email address
    you want to receive the form data. Also note the single quote
    marks.
    reason: this sets the email address the form results will be
    sent to.
    You can also make a list of possible recipient alias values-
    see the readme
    in the docs folder.
    2d) give the script a default "From" address to use.
    Go to line 41
    Change:
    define('FROM', null);
    to:
    define('FROM', 'Example Name <[email protected]>');
    substituting your name and email address.
    3) now do a File-->Save As and save this file to within
    this Local Site
    folder. save it as anythingyouwant.php
    4) in dw's File Panel, find anythingyouwant.php and upload it
    to the remote
    site.
    5) Now open your form html file in dreamweaver,
    5a)click the mouse into the form area, and select the
    <form> tag on the
    lower left margin of the design window.
    In the Property Inspector, it should now show the properties
    of the <form>
    tag. In the Property Inspector, to the right of the ACTION
    line, click the
    folder icon and browse to and select the anythingyouwant.php
    file
    you've saved to within this site.
    5b) now click within the form area and go to dw
    menu-->Insert-->Form
    Objects-->Hidden Field
    This inserts a hidden form field.
    In the property inspector, change the NAME/ID of this field
    to: recipient
    And the VALUE of this field to: me
    the code should look like:
    <input name="recipient" type="hidden" id="recipient"
    value="me">
    This tells the script to use the "me" recipient_alias value
    as the email
    address to send the form to.
    5c: Do you have a form field to collect the user's email
    address?
    If yes, if this field is named exactly "email" then the
    script will use the
    user's email as the reply to in the outgoing email
    6) Save and upload the form page.
    Try the form from the website.
    Optional:
    1-make a new page for a thank you for submitting message.
    In the form, insert another hidden field.
    Name: redirect
    Value:  the full absolute
    http:// address to the new thank you page.
    If you don't set a redirect value- the form script will build
    a "thank you,
    here is what you submitted" page. If you want to use that
    dynamic page-
    upload the .css file that it uses.
    2- If you have a field in the form to collect the visitor's
    email address,
    IF you name this field  in the form exactly  
     email   then the visitor's
    email address will be the Reply To address in the outgoing
    email.
    There are 30 or so other optional form fields to control the
    form- see the
    readme in the docs folder. One of those optional control
    fields is
    verification.

  • How to configure httpd.conf for multiple websites on one webserver

    So, right now I have my primary website on a pay-for domain. A friend of mine wants a website and I want to host his and my sites on the same server. For his website, I'll use a DynDNS address.
    So, pretty much, I want to be able to go to my domain and get my site and go to his domain and get his site. I've spent hours trying to get VirtualHosts to work, but haven't gotten it to work yet.
    PS. In Apache, I have User set to Administrator (my user name).
    MacBook Pro 2.16   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    First, set the user back to www or whatever it was. To do namebased virtual hosting, you'll need to change two things. The first is to add a NameVirtualHost directive to /etc/httpd/sites/virtualhostglobal.conf
    This is one of the VirtualHost stanzas from my Linux box, you just have to adjust the paths for your machine:
    <VirtualHost www.mydomain.com>
    ServerAlias mydomain.com
    ServerAdmin [email protected]
    DocumentRoot /usr/people/httpd/html/www
    <Directory /usr/people/httpd/html/www>
    Options Includes
    AllowOverride AuthConfig
    </Directory>
    ScriptAlias /bin /usr/people/httpd/cgi-bin/www
    ScriptAlias /cgi-bin /usr/people/httpd/cgi-bin/www
    </VirtualHost>
    Restart Apache and you should be good to go. If there are errors, could you post them from /var/log/httpd/error_log ?

  • How can i call a CGI script from java?

    The subject pretty much says it all. I want to call a perl cgi script so i can read from/write to files on a server. I don't know how to sign applets and this would be the easiest way for me, if someone could please tell me.

    Let me get this clear. Basically what u want to do is to just call a URL, right?
    U can do it by using the following code:
    import java.applet.*;
    import java.net.*;
    import java.io.*;
    public class testhttp
    public static void main(String[] args)
    try
    URL url = new URL ("http://../testcgi.cfm");
    HttpURLConnection cxn =
    (HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();
    cxn.setRequestMethod("POST");
    cxn.setUseCaches(false);
    cxn.setDoOutput(true);
    cxn.setDoInput(true);
    ByteArrayOutputStream bytes = new
    ByteArrayOutputStream(400);
    PrintWriter writer = new PrintWriter (bytes,true);
    writer.print("application=map&release=1&items=prog1");
    writer.flush();
    cxn.setRequestProperty("Content-
    Length",String.valueOf(bytes.size()));
    cxn.setRequestProperty("Content-
    Type","application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
    bytes.writeTo(cxn.getOutputStream());
    System.out.println(bytes);
    String currentLine;
    BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader (new
    InputStreamReader(cxn.getInputStream(),"8859_1"));
    while((currentLine = in.readLine()) != null) {
    System.out.println(currentLine); }
    catch(Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); }
    There is also a library called HTTP client which can be found at:
    http://www.innovation.ch/java/HTTPClient/index.html
    It's very simple to use and the documentation is all there, but their web server seems to be down right now.
    Anyway, hope my post helps.

  • How to include html generated by a cgi-script ?

    Here's the problem:
    I need to include an html-header dynamically generated by a cgi-script: "web_nav.cgi" into my jsp-page.
    According to some documentation the <jsp:include page=... tag can only be used to include servlet, jsp or html files, and according to other sources it doesn't matter what technology the target uses, as long as it delivers html....
    I get a "..include failed, only jsp or html files can be included" error messsage so maybe the first theory is correct.
    But the problem remains: If not with the <jsp:include tag , How do I do it??
    Fast help would be really appreciated.
    Thnx a bunch.
    /Henrik

    Hi Henrik,
    1. the <jsp:include page="local_url" flush="true"/>
    works for local url which is context-relative only
    (within the same server and same context -application-)
    2. So where is your web_nav.cgi ? is it local or remote
    (on another server)
    3. You can do it, look into the jsp book or documentation
    for either jsp:include action and jsp:include directive for your need.

  • This.submitForm() -- problem with my cgi script

    Thanks to George Johnson for an earlier answer to a related issue with this.submitForm.
    I am trying to use this.submitForm as per Example 1 on p. 348 of "JavaScript for Acrobat API Reference" document.
    To avoid any restrictions with my web hosting service, I am using the following JavaScript (on my form's Submit button) on my local XAMPP server:
    this.submitForm ("./cgi-bin/myscript.cgi");
    My question involves what should be in the myscript.cgi file before I submit to it.  If there is no file to start with, the
    submission will result in a "File not found" error.  So I guess I need the myscript.cgi file in the cgi-bin folder to begin with.
    When I put in a blank myscript.cgi file in that folder (hoping the submission will overwrite it), I can the following message:
    Server error!  The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request. Either the server is overloaded or
    there was an error in a CGI script.
    Can you tell me what is happening?  What should my original myscript.cgi have in it, if anything?

    Thanks for responding.
    I want CGI script to processes the incoming data from the PDF form submission. I want that process to save the FDF to a file on the server. 
    I also understand that the script has to return a response to the client.  I would like to send some kind of confirmation to the client.
    I realize that writing scripts isn't rocket science, but it would seem that Adobe would have some examples of scripts that deal specifically with fdf data.  Could you point me to any examples?
