The Guest Book was written for Linux using the GNU C++ compiler. However, it
should easily compile on other Unix platforms. An NT compilation will require
minor modifications.
The source code is organized in three directories:
db/
guest_book/
util/
After installing the source code. Create the following directories under your
public_html directory:
cgi-bin/
cgi-data/
A Makefile is located in the guest_book directory. Locate the target executable
statement '/home1/s/sj/sjohnson/public_html/cgi-bin/gb.cgi' and modify it for your
configuration.
Copy the html
source located at this site
for a baseline of your own Guest Book page. The cgi-data directory stores actual
Guest Book data. The cgi-bin directory stores the gb.cgi executable along with
the alert_log.txt file. This file stores database error logs. An 'open table
failed' entry should appear the first time the Guest Book is used.
