What terms did you try when SEARCHING for a solution: URL to open guestbook

Write your message below:
I installed the script for the guestbook into a "guestbook" directory in the cgi bin in the public_html directory on the host's server for my website at http://www.christianityetc.org. I tried both of these URL links in the menu operations for my site: http://www.christianityetc.org/guestbook/gbook.php and http://www.christianityetc.org/guestbook . But both links just took me to the basic index page of my website without opening the guestbook. What is the correct URL that I need to cite in this menu to open the guestbook?

Something's wrong in your website configuration, because ANY made-up page name shows the same.

For example:
http://www.christianityetc.org/NOPAGE
http://www.christianityetc.org/whatever
http://www.christianityetc.org/sdgfhdsgaasgh

You probably have some htaccess redirect/rewrite causing problems. Not something we can help with.



P.s.: also note that folder/file names are CaSe SeNSiTiVe on your server!

I went to the support team for my website and got the correct URL for my guestbook. It is http://www.christianityetc.org/cgi-bin/guestbook . But ,when I try to open the guestbook from that link, I get a 403 error regarding "incorrect directory permissions below 644". So I changed the directory permissions for the cited files each to 666 and left the permissions for the 3 basic folders set at 755, but this didn't correct the problem. I still can't get a display of my guestbook. What should I do next?

You will need to talk to your host regarding what permissions are required for PHP files.

But if I were you I would move PHP files outside of "cgi-bin" and just use default permissions (create a "guestbook" folder outside "cgi-bin" and re-upload all GBook files without modifying any permission), because PHP seems to work fine on your server outside of cgi-bin.

This operation for the guestbook seems to be working fine now. Thanks for your help.

This problem with my guestbook has been resolved.
