I uploaded in ASCII, I changed the permissions, the paths to perl, everything the direction say, but I am still getting an error... it's say Forbidden... you know a 403 error.

Then it says additonally there is a 404 File not Found...

Here's what my error log has to say:

Hi,

You had placed some commands in the .htaccess file to keep people from beeing able to access the scripts from the web. This was blocking you from running it. I just removed them and it works fine now.

What is the Data Path

I'm not sure what you are asking?

LoL me either... to configure this script, it need a data path. Have no clue what the hell it is! The readme on the script says the path to the data directory (usually /data).... do I have to create it? Or what? LoL..

:)

You would need to create it, and then list the entire path to it.

i.e. /home/abyss/the_rest_of_the_path

data path is where the script will store its data files too. Like if you have a counter, that's were the count file would be.

Also,

You shouldn't put this in the public_html directory. For security reasons you would place it in the base directory for your account.
