| Troubleshooting |

When
I try loading a page without ads, I get the following message: "Your
script produced the following error: Cant load YYY.htm".
(Where YYY.htm is the name of file you are trying to load).
|
The
file YYY.htm is not present in the cgi-bin directory. Upload it into cgi-bin
and this problem will disappear. |
| The file loads without ads but pictures
embedded in the file do not load. |
Leave the pictures where they are, but the change their
source
from relative to absolute. This will be clear my means of this example:
EXAMPLE:
Suppose
you have a picture called logo.gif embedded in you file index.htm and you
find that this picture doesn't load when index.htm is loaded without ads.
SOLUTION: Change
the source
of the picture to the following: http://members.tripod.com/XXX/logo.gif,
where XXX
is the name of your domain, say mysite.
By doing this, your pages will also load faster.
|
| Frontpage
Components such as search form, of posting to a discussion web don't work
properly. |
To make a frontpage component work properly, before uploading your pages to the
cgi-bin
directory, change the link to the page containing the component
to the following:
http://members.tripod.com/XXX/_vti_bin/shtml.exe/cgi-bin/YYY.htm
Where,
XXX is your domain name say
mysite, and YYY.htm is the name of the
page containing the FrontPage component.
EXAMPLE:
Suppose
the name of your domain is mysite and the name of the page containing a
search form is disc1_srch.htm. Then, wherever a link to disc1_srch.htm
appears, you have to change the link to,
http://members.tripod.com/mysite/_vti_bin/shtml.exe/cgi-bin/disc1_srch.htm
After having
done this, upload your pages containing FrontPage components to the cgi-bin.
|
| When
I try loading a page, I get the following error message: "Your script
produced an error. Did you strip carriage returns at the end of a
network transfer?" |
This
is the god of unpredictability at work. But Relax. Have a beer. Everyting
is under control.
This problem arises most probably because perl scripts have to be uploaded
into the cgi-bin in binary mode, and while copying the file no_ads.pl into
the cgi-bin, the mode was not binary.
Solution:
Delete
the file no_ads.pl, then upload it again using cute ftp, after
explicitly selecting the mode of transfer to be binary (cute ftp
automatically selects the appropriate mode for file transfer, but to be on
the safe side, explicitly select binary as the mode of transfer.
