Cosmetics

  • Saw Erica for the first time in forever. Helped she and her did set up their garage sale
  • The links in the menu flyouts had backgrounds. Turns out, in the CSS file I had grouped .topbutton a:link, a:visited. I needed that to be .topbutton a:link, .topbutton a:visited. Oops
  • Let's try customer content background of e0e0ef
  • Suddenly Netscape4 is ignoring the background, again
    • This page says that NN4 won't display the correct background color unless there's a non-zero border. So I made the border the same color as the background page color
  • Got RegisterMe! working. Took awhile to stumble across the problem. From advice in the RegisterMe! installation manual, I changed the script directory's permissions to 777. It needed to be 755
  • If getting an "Internal Server Error 500", and with an error log entry of "Premature end of script headers" check for these things:
    • Permissions: Verify the directory permissions, also. Permissions of 777 will produce this error
    • FTP upload: Verify that the file was uploaded in ASCII mode
    • Perl location: Verify that the file starts with #!/usr/bin/perl
    • Unix line endings: (Is this still an issue, anymore? I haven't run a recent test.)
    • Syntax errors: Check the error log to verify that we're getting the error message "Premature end of script headers."
  • All right. Successfully added a user, verified the email address, and activated the account via the admin screen
  • The one question is that when you submit your inital request to be added, it showed the custom fields. I don't want them to be viewable by the user, at all.
  • Ah, okay. That stuff *can* be displayed, but it's up to the template
  • Actually, I wasn't supposed to call the template html directly. But, when I try to use the call to the .cgi it says it can't find the template. Though, it seems very straightforward. It's in the [basedir]/tmpl directory
