Re: [cobalt-users] Banners scripts on Raq3?

[Bill Gunning <billgun@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am using Webadverts, I placed the /advert folder in
/home/sites/home/ folder, but you can put the /advert
folder into any directory above /web also, make sure you
check the persmissions of the folder and it's contents plus, the
following files.

-rwxrwxrwx   1 admin    home          112 May 18 22:02 adcount.txt
-rwxrwxrwx   1 admin    home          155 Mar 21 20:44 adlist.txt
-rwxrwxrwx   1 admin    home            0 Mar 21 20:44 adnew.txt
-rwxrwxrwx   1 admin    home           13 Mar 21 19:42 adpassword.txt 

Also check your paths in ads.pl

require "/home/sites/site##/web/cgi-bin/ads_display.pl";

$adverts_dir = "/home/sites/home/advert/";
$display_cgi = "http://www.domain.com/cgi-bin/ads.pl";;
