basepath setup
12/10/03 at 01:34:41
 
Hello,

Before I choose a permanent web host for my website, I test every cgi script on Netfirms.com (it is a free webhost with cgi-bin access)

In the eConfig161.pl file I have to type the "basepath" , right?

$config{'get_path'}       0; # Set this from 1 to 0 if you want to use your own setting  
$config{'basepath'}        '/???????/';

But this Netfirms wrote me that about the "basepath":

Your full or absolute root path is:
$ENV{'DOCUMENT_ROOT'}

The full path to your www directory would be:
$ENV{'DOCUMENT_ROOT'}/www

The full path to your cgi-bin directory would be:
$ENV{'DOCUMENT_ROOT'}/cgi-bin


Please help me, what shoud I use, for basepath??? Roll Eyes
Thanks,

I don't know the directory structure of the Netfirms server.
Why do you want to use your own path settings?
The script determines the paths automatically.

Hello

Although the self install on Dieter’s version of eAuction is very good it does not always work.  Sometime you can see the root directory but can not write to it.  If you need to find your base path I would suggest you download ServerCheck from Multimedia file viewing and clickable links are available for registered members only!!  You need to Login or Register!!
 upload this file to you main directory and run the program from your browser.  

Your Current Working Directory Path  is the directory that you placed the server.cgi file.  It may look something like this.  /home/sites/site51/web  In this case /home/sites/site51/ would be the base path.

Hope this helps.
