How do I edit the frontpage without login to GM

[buppie]

I have some serious problems with my hostingsprovider, They updated Perl to a other version and now I can't get in gm.cgi.
The advice the gave to me was to replace all the lines in the cgi-bin that tells where the libary file is located.
By example the line in gm.cgi:
require "libary.cgi"; in D:/www.devrije.nl/www/cgi-bin/libary.cgi
This because the working directory has change and it isn't the default directory anymore wher the script is located.
Do I have to change some more lines in the script, then this one line through the provider given?

Well whatever I try'd, change slashes, a virtual pad etc. It won't work and I get the same error (can't find banlist, chmod 666 etc...)
The provider has holyday now and it will take some time before they resolve this issue. By the way, our Greymatter is version 1.3.0 and hosted at a Windows 2000 server. It's running for 2 years now without any problems. I did tried to update the version to 1.3.1 last night and I get the same error message.

We have at least 300 visitors every day and we want to let them know that we can't update the site.

How do I edit a warning at the main page without login?

Thanks

Just FTP the page to your computer to edit it, edit it (using Notepad or whatever you use to make/edit web pages usually), and FTP it back.

Stupid me, I tried first to edit the last HTM archive file... And that didn't work.
I have it now, thanks.

Yeah, since gm 1.3.1 checks for the file ./gm-banlist.cgi its assuming that the local directory is in the path.

I am not good with path stuff but I think you might be able to change to your cgi directory.

You could try add this code:

chdir("D:/www.devrije.nl/www/cgi-bin/");


Under the "Greymatter 1.3.1" declaration in the gm.cgi, gm-comments.cgi, gm-karma.cgi, and the gm-upload.cgi files. What version of perl are you using now?
