i am looking for testers and feedback on my project.

true testers and real feed back only please.

here is my project site.
http://members.cox.net/joes_box/

the program is a perl/cgi script that runs on *nix only as of now but i am looking to port to windows soon. This program is a Journal (hense the name, Journal 0.1.0) that allows you to keep a daily log of your thoughts.

let me know what you think.

It's kinda hard to download:

"The requested URL /joes_box/journal_0.1.0.zip was not found on this server."

sorry about that the site had a misspelling.

green_dragon37 · 10-20-2003, 04:25 PM

ok, I get a 500 when I try and run it. Dou you have any absolute paths in it?

joesbox · 10-20-2003, 04:32 PM

Code:

place the following file as so:

journal.cgi......................../var/www/cgi-bin
subparseform.lib............../var/www/cgi-bin
yellopaper_bkgrnd.png..../var/www/images
titleimage.png................../var/www/images
Journal_logo0.1.0.jpg...../var/www/images
index.html......................./var/www/html

green_dragon37 · 10-20-2003, 04:33 PM

well, I don't use any of those directories. How about a set of vars where we can define the path to the files?

i will work on it. i didn't realize that this would be a prob.
what part are you having the prob on. is it from the get go or when you submit or what?? i am going to change the absoluts of /var/www/cgi-bin to 127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/ and see if that works.

green_dragon37 · 10-20-2003, 04:44 PM

from the get-go. I fixed the index page to point to the right place, but then, I get my error 500 page on trying to load the journal.cgi.

well i guess that i made this for my system. i guess i am back to the drawing board.

green_dragon37 · 10-20-2003, 04:51 PM

I ran it through "perl -w" and got:

syntax error at journal.cgi line 82, near "){"
Execution of journal.cgi aborted due to compilation errors.

green_dragon37 · 10-20-2003, 05:02 PM

Hey, I just fixed it. You left out the spaces in some of the "if ()(this space) { }" statements.

It looks good, too. Nice and clean, and simple.

joesbox · 10-20-2003, 05:36 PM

so it wasn't my coding just my syntax. so my coding was the prob to the whole 500 error?? i am glad you found it. i didn't think that i had that problem in the released version. cause all of my scripts on the home puter work.
thanks.

anyone else want to give it a try??

green_dragon37 · 10-22-2003, 10:45 AM

To make it work under more situations, I made some changes on lines 214, 217, 252, and 324. I changed the paths on journal.txt to relative (./journal.txt). I also fixed the spaces, re-zipped it. here it is. I guess you could call it v.0.1.1. I also changed all of the urls relative to /.

Green_dragon37, I tried your link and got this:

Quote:

Error 404 -- Not Found
The page you requested, journal-0.1.1.tar.bz2, is not here. Check the link and try again.

Request: journal-0.1.1.tar.bz2

Will the program run on a stand alone desktop with no apache or server stuff at all?
