NewsPro is the BEST way to have other webmaster post on your site an for yourself to post site updates etc.
- First
if you don't have it download it here
then extract to a folder of your choice.
- Second you HAVE to double check
an make sure your perl path is right(in all cgi files) its usually"#!/usr/bin/perl",if
your not sure ask your host.
- Make a directory named newspro an
CHMOD that directory to 777.
- Upload All files in ASCII mode!
- Then CHMOD newspro.cgi/viewnews.cgi
to 755 then CHMOD ndisplay.pl/nsettings.cgi/newsdat.txt/news.txt
to 666.
- Then call up newspro in your browser (ex.http://yoursite/cgi-bin/newspro/newspro.cgi)
an if u get an error try CHMODing all files to 777 and the directory
to 755.
- At the setup page type setup as
user name an leave password blank..then press submit an u should see all the
settings page.
- Now since newspro should be set up ,editing
the html is the hardest to get right so your on your own on that ,but just try
different shit till u get it the way u want.
- Now to view your newspro (if using an
i-frame) as the source put http://yoursite.com/cgi-bin/newspro/viewnews.cgi
an see the "readme" file in the newspro folder, if u choose not to
use an i-frame now if u need any more help post in the forums
