Comments not working
« Thread Started on Jul 4, 2008, 2:02pm »

Hi guys,
I've installed the greymatter files on my server, and everything seems to be working fine, except for my comments. When I try posting a comment to a test entry, I get - "The requested URL was not found on this server." The address up top is reading "http://www.myurl.com/httpdocs/00000004.php#comments". Any idea how to rectify this?

Some more info:

These are what the files I have uploaded look like:
This is my cgi.bin, it contains the following files, all uploaded as ASCII. The three digit number is what I've CHMODed them to -

gm-authors.cgi 666
gm-banlist.cgi 666
gm-comments.cgi 755
gm- config.cgi 666
gm-counter.cgi 666
gm-cplog.cgi 666
gm-entrylist.cgi 666
gm-karma.cgi 755
gm-library.cgi 644
gm-templates.cgi 666
gm-upload.cgi 755
gm.cgi 755

There are also three folders in the cgi bin:
emoticons 755
lang 755, containing
en_US.pm 644
libs 755 containing
gm_constants.pm 644
gm_core.pm 644
gm_security.pm 644
gm_storage.pm 644
gm_ trace.pm 644
gm_upgrade.pm 644
gm_utils.pm 644
gm_web.pm 644

All the files in those three folders were uploaded as binary files.

This is what I have in my httpdocs folder (besides all the regular website files):
A folder called Archives 777
which contains gm_index.html 666
as well as the php and cgi entries for all my blog postings.
A copy of gm_index.html 666 also exists outside of Archives but within httpdocs.

Here is my Configuration inside the greymatter controls:

Local Log Path: /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/myurl.com/httpdocs
Local Entries/Archives Path: /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/myurl.com/httpdocs/Archives
Local CGI Path: /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/myurl.com/cgi-bin
Website Log Path: http://www.myurl.com/httpdocs
Website Entries Path: http://www.myurl.com/httpdocs/Archives
Website CGI Path: http://www.myurl.com/cgi-bin

So, can you tell from any of that what my problem is?

Your main problem is with the web paths in Configuration section, but you have a few more problem you should take care of first.

The emoticons folder should not be in the cgi-bin folder, locating it in the httpdocs folder would be much better.
The files in the lang and libs folders should be transfer as ASCII.

The local file paths look ok.

The web paths should be something like the following:

Website Log Path: http://www.myurl.com/
Website Entries Path: http://www.myurl.com/Archives
Website CGI Path: http://www.myurl.com/cgi-bin

or

Website Log Path: /
Website Entries Path: /Archives
Website CGI Path: /cgi-bin

would also work.

Well, that got my emoticons working at least.

But now, trying to post a comment, I get the message :

Internal Server Error
The script /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/myurl.com/httpdocs/Archives/00000008.php cannot be world writable.

I guess I'll ask my server about that tomorrow, unless you know how I could fix that myself.

Regardless, I'm off to bed now. I'll check this board in the morning.
Thanks for all your help so far...

*EDIT* got it working, thanks.
