Hello;
I am so new to this but here goes. I am going to sell eBooks and programs from my site and I don't know how to write the url so people can down load there Ebook or program. I know I need to upload the zip files through ftp Blue in blue voda. I need my successful after payment download URL. I guess through the browser. I have not uploaded my site yet still working on it. My site URL is http://www.tecmanswebtools.com. Also I am going to have a Free links page and these are the instructions.....
First of all, open links.cgi in a text editor. If perl is not located
at /usr/local/bin/perl on your system, change the first line of it to #! and then
the location of perl. If you don't know where perl is, ask your system
administrator, or telnet in and type "whereis perl" at the command prompt.
Scroll down to line 51. If you aren't planning on creating the data directory
in the same directory as the script, change "data" to the server path (not the
URL) to the the data directory. Do not include a trailing slash. Now scroll
down to line 54. Enter the server path (not the URL) to links.html. Scroll
down to line 57 and enter the full URL of links.html. Scroll down to line 60
and enter the URL of links.cgi. Scroll down to line 63, and enter the path
to your mail program. This should actually be okay on most unix systems.
If links.cgi cannot be found at /cgi-bin/links.cgi, open links.html in a text
editor and replace the text /cgi-bin/links.cgi with the URL of links.cgi.
Edit admin.html and replace http://www.yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/links.cgi
with the URL of links.cgi

Disable auto Links submittal
The script is already configured to allow auto submittals.
If you don't want to allow submittals to your page from auto submittal
software you can go to line 155 and remove the # sign from that line
and add it to the next line like this
this is the original setup
#if ($FORM{'action'} eq "add_link") { &add_link; }
if (($FORM{'action'} eq "add_link") or ($FORM{'action'} eq "")) { &add_link; }
Change to this to block auto submittals
if ($FORM{'action'} eq "add_link") { &add_link; }
#if (($FORM{'action'} eq "add_link") or ($FORM{'action'} eq "")) { &add_link; }
Now upload all files (as ascii, not binary) and create directory named data.
Set links.cgi's permissions to 755, links.html's permissions to 777, and the
data directory's permissions to 773 (if this doesn't work on your system, try
setting links.html's and the data directory's permissions to 777).
I have the link page and admit page loaded into blue voda with all of the files. Will the system do all of that when I upload it or do I need to try to change all of these things? THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP.
