Greetings.
I have been using the above scripts for a while now.
We moved our site to another host (from IIS to Unix) I was able to get the scripts running there also.
They changed/upgraded their systems and messed up my cgi-bin. After must messageing I was finally able to get my cgi-bin working again.
However, I can only access elist. The other two give me errors of "bad referer" even though I am coming in using the webmster.html.
Strange because I still have access to elistmgr.pl, but not the other two.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for any and all help.
Ken

Just a quick note. I haven't checked out the scripts mentioned here. But the term "bad referer" is very familiar. The scripts installed in your server looks for genuine, authentic users from your server - not by someone from any other server to siphon off your server resources.
As a result, the script will have the server's name (domain name) or IP address hardcoded into it - usually somewhere at the top. Check this value and modify as required.

Thanks friend,
I checked that out and they are correct. However, after much agonizing I was able to find out that when I use Mozilla Firefox browser, my firewall blocks parts of the script evidently. Have not been able to resolve that.
However, found out that when I use Crazy Browser (IE type) everything works as designed.
I truly get frustrated sometimes at this lack of compatibility between op systems and programming!!
Thank you so much for your reply. And BTW - very nice forum.
Your friend,
Ken

Welcome Aboard Ken. Thank you for your kind words.
It is always a pain to solve this cross browser/cross OS compatibility issues.
BTW, what effect do you get when you install the 'User Agent Switcher' extension into your Mozilla Firefox and mimic IE ?
It is rare to see some scripts specifically written to target IE, but it is always possible that some client side functionality is built-in which sniffs the type of browser.
Not very unusual when you want to "degrade gracefully" for the wide range of browser types. Firefox is a relatively new kid in the block, which might explain why it sometimes fails to get "appropriate response".

Hmmmm.... guess I didn't even know that kind of thing existed.
The very idea! Trying to make browsers cross/compatible!! :D
Thank you for that. I guess I don't know everything like I thought I did. heheheheh.
I'll check that out on Mozilla. Be nice to have. Oh, Opera does just as Mozilla does with that.
Take care,
Ken
