Overview
This page gives instructions on how to install the SurveySays poll script for use at
Spaceports.
Jaspervp has adapted the instructions and files to make SurveySays easier to install for
Spaceports users, with minor editing by myself.
If you would like to dive right in and read the modified instructions you can download a zip of
all the files here.
Those of you that aren't Spaceports users, or who wish an original copy can get it from www.riffnet.com.
Jaspervp's site is no longer available.
If you would like to see an example of the script in action, you can do so here.
Path change
If you signed up for your CGI-BIN account after the end of July 2000, but before the middle of
February 2002 you will need to change all references to home in the paths to
home2 or the script will not work.
If you received your CGI-BIN account after the middle of February 2002 you will need to change
all references to home in the paths to home3 to avoid errors.
Still here?
If you're still reading, then I guess you want to read the instructions first, so here they
are:-
a) Download and extract the zip file with the script
b) Read license.txt
c) Edit poll.pl
- Change the username
- Change the questions and answers
d) Upload poll.pl, survey.pl, poll.html, dot.gif and
data.txt to the public_html directory on your CGI-BIN account. Be sure to
upload dot.gif in binary mode and all other files in ASCII mode if your FTP
program is not set to do that for you automatically.
e) The following UNIX permissions are needed for the various parts:-
- CHMOD 755 poll.pl
- CHMOD 755 surveysays.pl
- CHMOD 766 data.txt
f) Go to http://cgi-bin.spaceports.com/~username/poll.html to test the script.
g) For more info see the readme.txt inside the zip-file.
These instructions are also in spaceports.txt inside the zip file.
