EasyLog v.1.0 created: 8/11/96 written by: Dave Palmer http://207.86.132.116 README for EasyLog ################################################################### Hello! Thanks for giving EasyLog a spin! First I should say, that this is freeware, and no warranty is expressed or assumed. I will try to help if there are setup problems. Okay, enough of that. Here's what you have to do to set this up: First, make sure your server is setup to use SSI (server side includes) Next in your HTML file you want to you EasyLog with (you can use EasyLog with one or all of your HTML documents you want) make sure you name them with a: .shtml extension. Then, somewhere between the tags add this: (replace /cgi-bin/ path for whatever place you keep your executable scripts). Now, open up easylog.cgi file. 1. Find out where your Perl interpriter is on your system. You can do this by logging on to your account via Telnet, and type this in at the prompt: which perl. This will yield a path statement. Enter that in the first line of the script (most times its: /usr/bin/perl or /usr/local/bin/perl) 2. Put your absolute directory path to where you store the easylog.html file Create a directory called: easylog, chmod it to 777, then upload the easylog.html file to that directory and chmod easylog.html to 777 as well. 3. Find where sendmail is on your system. You can do that by doing what you did to find Perl: But try: whereis sendmail or which sendmail. On some systems if you do a which sendmail, you'll get a: command unknown. (on FreeBSD, sendmail is usually in: /usr/sbin) Enter the path at the line: $mailprog Make sure not to delete the single quote marks or the semi-colon. 4. At the line: $my_name add....well..your name! Just like: $my_name = 'Dave Palmer'; 5. At the line: $my_email.. yup, add your e-mail just as you would type it in in your e-mail program: $e_mail = 'myemail@myhost.com'; That's it. Now upload easymail.cgi to your cgi-bin directory, and chmod it 755. Upload your .shtml files and, away you go! EasyLog will create the file easylog.elog for you, and will be located in the directory you specified in: $logfile Good luck! ######################################################################################
