Hi, I found a Perl script that sets up a message board for my site, the only problem is that it can't find the image files for background and such using a releative addres, ie: /images/whatever.jpg all I get are red x's. everything else works OK, just not the images directory.:confused:

Hummm, I've been sitting here just staring at your post...blank.
Sometimes it can't find the correct path because of a '/' or lack of one in your config setup. Sometimes you can put in a '.' before the /image/ directory. Hummm, I guess you've tried just about every combination so far? Does it have an admin for configuring the paths?

Where is your images directory located? Make sure they are in a folder in your public_html and that you have the correct path for it. Then it should work no problem. and also, did you upload all the images in binary mode?

I think I have it working now. For some reason, the Perl script won't find the images folder if I set the base URL as http://subdomain.mydomain/cgi-bin/
It will work if it is set to http://mydomain/subdomain/cgi-bin
Go figure.
Thanks tho for your suggestions.
It is not for everyone, but my website is http://magickid.org
