Hi Brandon,
The most likely reason for this is that the main folder containing the guestbook files and folders does not have a 777 (755 on some systems) permission.
Check this and let me know.

NFisher, your server has a very rare and restrictive configuration option that is severly affecting your ability to run most common php scripts. The eval statement is a syntactic construct in PHP widely used by most developers, including myself. Your configuration of PHP on your server is such that eval statements are forbidden and give an error.
You have 2 options. The best one is to contact your provider and ask to change the PHP configuration so that eval statements are allowed. If your provider is not 'bulk', they will do this for you.
The other option is that we can rewite some portions of the script to make it compatible with your configuration. However this can hardly be done for free as it is a significant effort.
Feel free to post again or send me an e-mail if you have any additional question.

I install and chmod the files successfully. I log in with default password, but then when I go to the configure section of the admin panel, it gives this error:
Fatal error: SUHOSIN - Use of eval is forbidden by configuration in /home/sprelig/public_html/gb/php_guestbook.php(349) : eval()'d code on line 349 |

Dear Arthur, it may be a permission problem. After copying the files, did you checked again all the permissions? Look in the posts below and download the php test file. Do you also have an error if you upload this file (unzipped of course) and visit it with your browser? This is a very good tool to check for general PHP issues in a particular folder/subdomain, that could be linked to PHP being active/available in some subdomains/folders only or to permission problems. For example in my own host, when I specify a new subdomain I have the option to turn php on or off for this particular subdomain only.
Test with the test file, check the permissions and let me know.

Arthur,
Honestly it is difficult for me to know what you are doing exactly. Here what I suggest:
- delete ALL the scripts files and folders. Let's start over.
- inside public_html, create a new folder called gb
- grant the gb folder 777 permission (this has to be 755 on some servers. Start with 777. If it does not work, try 755.
- upload all the files to the gb folder
- grant the following permissions:
easy_php_guestbook.html: 666
include/conf.php: 666
posts folder: 777 or 755, as required/allowed by your server.
- ogin to admin.html with the default password. If you get an error at this stage, this could be due to the 777/755 thing. If you have an error with 777, try again with 755 as permission for the gb folder.
- in admin/configure, ONLY change the guestook URL to: http://yourdomain.com/gb/easy_php_guestbook.html
where yourdomain.com is your own domain name.
- go to easy_php_guestbook.html with the browser and try to post.
Let me know.

Hi Andrea,
It seems like i'm getting a little light here ;) since i'm using your script (which is very GREAT!) and merging it with my web. i've tried uploading itu again. i upload all the files to PublicHtml/ourWedding, i already change the attribute of the OurWedding folder, and all the other files stated in the readme, but now i can't even access the admin panel hihi.. internal server error ;p |

Brandon,
Are you working on your PC or on your server? If the servers wants you to download the file instead of executing it it means that php is not active on the server.
Try this: download this fille php test file, unzip and upload to your guestbook directory and try to visit it in your browser. Do you get the same (prompt for download)? If so, it definitely means that PHP is not working on the server. You have to turn it on yourself or enquire to your provider on how to do it.

Arthur, I tested your install, it is not working properly. Either it is misconfigured or there is some other problem, such as wrong permissions for example.
If you reset the password to the default one I can have a look at your configuration in the admin section. Concerning the permissions, I cannot check this from there myself. Did you have any problem at time of granting the permissions to the files, as specified on the readme file? is the guestbook.html page writable? Did you put guestbook.html as value for the guestbook name in admin?
Keep me posted,

Hi Arthur, thanks for enquiring about the software. What do you mean by "see the comment and other comments"? I am not sure I understand what you mean. Both in the free version and in the enhanced version the visitors can see all the comments (posts) of the other visitors.
In the enhanced version the comments can be made private by the poster (as you did for the e-mail in your own post, but for the message field). Private comments can be seen by admin only. This is not possible in the free version where all comments are public, for all to see. In the free version, only the e-mail can made private, not the message.
Anyway, by default the comments are public, every visitor can see them.
You can have a look at the examples of installations, the links at the top of this page, to the right of the posting form. Most of those are done with the free version.
I hope this answers your question, otherwise please feel free to ask for more details.

is it possible in the free version that the guest can also see the comment and other comments? i've been reading about the differences between free one with extended one, but it only stated that in extended one we can choose pagination, but doesnt state about whether the free one can show other comments.
thx.. |
