I am also having problems with the build all .cgi. It brings up a download window. What changes do I need to make to fix this...

I am having the same problems as Theuls. When I try to build all it tries to run or download the build.cgi but nothing happens until the connection times out.

Help is appreciated.
Thanks

If you have access to your server logs you can look at them and see what the error is while trying to build.

The reason it is asking you to download is because there is an error somewhere.

Also do like I did, I replaced the nph_build.cgi with the original then when I built the site everything seemed to work. Then go back and make changes one at a time.

I just understood what my problem was, I just had forgotten a line...

NewToThis,

I tried what U suggested, but it didn't work...

HINT: If you save the nph-build.cgi file when it asks you to download...you will see error messages in the downloaded file.

Did you download the file?

If not...download it and you will see the errors.

It most likely is related to syntax errors in the site_html_templates.pl file.

Also, check the syntax of the site_html_templates.pl through telnet or your Perl Error Logs.

Make sure they exist, permissions are set properly, and paths are set correctly.

you can see my site_html_templates.pl as a txt @ http://surfootball ovh.org/site_html_templates.txt

Theuls,

Find this,
$output .= qq|<dl><dt><strong><a class="link" href="$url">$category_name</a></strong> <small class="numlinks">($numlinks)</small> |;
$output .= qq|<small><sup class="new">new</sup></small>| if (&days_old($mod) < $db_new_cutoff);
$output .= qq|</dt>|;
$output .= qq|<dd><span class="descript">$description </span></dd>| if (!($description =~ /^[\s\n]*$/));
$output .= qq|</dl>|;
}

Try taking out the last } after$output .= qq|</dl>|;
see if that works

Newtothis,

still didn't work... No more ideas???


THEULS

BUT NOW IT SAYS/
Error including libraries: Unmatched right bracket at /home/surfootb/cgi-bin/links/admin/site_html_templates.pl line 498, at end of line
syntax error at /home/surfootb/cgi-bin/links/admin/site_html_templates.pl line 498, near "}"

Make sure they exist, permissions are set properly, and paths are set correctly.

Paste the last 10 lines of your code here for me to see. Again only the last 10 lines...

Larry

[This message has been edited by NewToThis (edited April 18, 2000).]

Where is this code from?


$output .= qq|<dl><dt><strong><a class="link" href="$url">$category_name</a></strong> <small class="numlinks">($numlinks)</small> |;
$output .= qq|<small><sup class="new">new</sup></small>| if (&days_old($mod) < $db_new_cutoff);
$output .= qq|</dt>|;
$output .= qq|<dd><span class="descript">$description </span></dd>| if (!($description =~ /^[\s\n]*$/));
$output .= qq|</dl>|;
}

# Don't forget to end the unordered list..
$output .= "</td></tr></table></div>\n";
return $output;
}


Try removing it and see what happens.

Larry

NewToThis,

the lines you suggested to take away are used by nph-build for the categories
layout... Anyhow, I tried to "buid all", and it worked... Now the problem is that
the categories don't show up and neither does the subcategories...
That's why I think the problem comes from that area....
Since I'm not very good in perl, I don't know what to do...


THEULS

Newtothis

He it is,
code:

$output .= "</td></tr></table></div>\n";
return $output;
}

$output .= qq|<dl><dt><font face="Arial" size="2"><strong><a href="$url">$category_name</a></font></strong> <font face="Arial" size="1"><i>($numlinks)</i></font> |;
$output .= qq|<small><sup class="new">new</sup></small>| if (&days_old($mod) < $db_new_cutoff);
$output .= qq|</dt>|;
$output .= qq|<dd><span class="descript">$description </span></dd>| if (!($description =~ /^[\s\n]*$/));
$output .= qq|</dl>|;

# Don't forget to end the unordered list..
$output .= "</td></tr></table></div>\n";
return $output;
}

Theuls,

Replace your site_html_template.cgi with the original one. Build your directory. If it works. Make changes 1 at a time until you have it the way you need. I can not find the code you are using anywhere in the site_html_template.cgi that I have set up.

Larry

What I suggest is that you give me your 500 last lines of your site-html-templates.cgi, and I put it on mine...


THEULS

------------------
Surfootball.ovh.org

That would do you no good.
I have made alot of changes to my files in regards to the way it sorts and displays things. Would not work for you.

Larry

 grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!

So, is there a way that I could get this working????????
Well, maybe I should do without!!!!!!! By the way NewToThis,
are U using exactely the code above???? What is your webpage adress???


THEULS

------------------
Surfootball.ovh.org

Theuls,

My code does not look like the code above. I do not have the site live on the net yet. Doing a lot of testing before I go live with the site. I could set up a a little demo of what I am trying to do with it later this week maybe.

Also tell me what mods you have added to your script.
Do you back up your originals before making changes?

I was having a similar problem like your before. Started with the originals again. Read the forums and added mods one at a time. Found a few short cuts along the way too.

This is one of the ways to learn to hack code good is trial an error.

Let me know what changes you have made to the original scripts and I will see where I can help

Larry

Newtothis,

I installed some mods, and now, almost nothing is working...
Thats why I think I'mgonna reinstall every thing all over again
I'll send a reply in 3 or 4 hour to tell you what I did...

See you,

THEULS
