I'm trying to install a tagboard from JennysPage (http://jennyspage.net). However, I continue to get this (http://www.PageProducer.com/users/eb0nie/CHMODError.jpg) error message when I try to CHMOD the tag file to 777. Regardless of what settings I put it on..that error comes up. I was told by a friend that I might not have CGI support. I've read numerous of online articles explaining what CGI is and how it works. Now, I'm ready to download and install it. BUT..what do I do next?

What if it isn't that I need CGI support? How do I know that I have it? Geesh! :sad:

*I'm using CuteFTP (http://cutehtml.com)

Thanks!!!

In the error screen it says you chmoded the file to 700. To Chmod it to 777, you check off all the boxes in the chmod screen.

I tried that, too.
That particular screen shot was just something quick so I could hurry and take a shot of an example of the error. Those aren't the settings that I usually have them on.

If you have CGI or not is to do with what your host supports, if it doesnt support CGI theres nothing you can do....so first things first ask your host if they support it or not....then maybe try useing the actual readme that comes with the download, sometimes it helps to get a different explanation.....

*The first 3 steps are not necessary, but will*
*make your tag board look better on your site*

1) Open tag.cgi in wordpad or another text editor.
2) Configure the variables under
# Configurable Variables #

3) Open tag.html and board.shtml in a text or HTML editor,
and change colors to match your site.

*Necessary Steps*

1) Upload tag.html, tag.cgi, board.shtml, and tag.txt to
the directory of your choice.
2) CHMOD all files and the directory that the files are in
to 777, or if that does not work, 755.
3) You should include the tag board using an iframe. Here
is the HTML that u can use for the tag board:

<iframe src="tag/tag.html" width="143" height="235" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>

4) You should be good after that.
