The first thing you need is the wwwboard.zip. This will unpack into several files : - wwwboard.pl - the perl script that powers the board wwwboard.html - the html page that shows you posts / lets you post faq.html - a faq for your wwwboard users data.txt - a data storage file for the perl script messages/ - a directory where the messages are placed wwwadmin.pl - a script that lets you administer the messages passwd.txt - an encrypted password file containing the admin password ADMIN_README - a file detailing the use of the admin script.

You will need to place the 2 perl files in your main scripts directory, the other files and the message directory should be placed in a new subdirectory of your webspace called wwwboard. You must email E2 help for the correct permissions to be set for the scripts and other files. You should include your domain name and the paths to all your files.

$basedir = "/home/pub/www/www.mydomain.com/wwwboard/"; This is the full path to your wwwboard directory ie on ws2 - 4 it might look like the above or on ws1 it might look like this /home/pub/www/mydomain/wwwboard/ - if you are on ws1 (your ip is 195.102.33.x) and you are not sure of your directory name please refer to your joining letter - or contact e2help.

$baseurl = "http://www.mydomain.com/wwwboard/"; This is the url of your wwwboard directory

$cgi_url = "http://www.mydomain.com/scripts/wwwboard.pl"; This is the url of the wwwboard script - if you do not have a domain it will be http://www.u-net.com/dirname+s/wwwboard.pl - please mail e2help to have this set up.

$mesgdir = "messages"; This should remain the same - it just tells the script that your message directory is in your wwwboard directory

$datafile = "data.txt"; This should remain the same it just tells the script that your data.txt is in your wwwboard directory

$mesgfile = "wwwboard.html"; This should remain the same - it just tells the script that the page is in the wwwboard directory

$faqfile = "faq.html"; This again says that the faq for users is in the wwwboard directory.

$ext = "html"; This should remain the same and says that all pages associated with the script have the .html extension. (Also means that all pages created will have a .html extension)

$title = "EasyTwo Webboard"; This is the name of your web board

$show_faq = 1; # 1 - YES; 0 = NO Do you let the script print links to the faq for your users ?

$allow_html = 1; # 1 = YES; 0 = NO Do you allow html tags in the posts ?

$quote_text = 1; # 1 = YES; 0 = NO Do you quote the text from a message when it is being replied to

$subject_line = 0; # 0 = Quote Subject Editable; 1 = Quote Subject # UnEditable; 2 = Don't Quote Subject, Editable. Do you let users edit the subject line when replying to a post.

$use_time = 1; # 1 = YES; 0 = NO Do you quote the time on a post ?

$basedir = "/home/pub/www/www.mydomain.com/wwwboard/"; This is the base directory of your wwwboard

$baseurl = "http://www.mydomain.com/wwwboard/"; This is the url that corresponds to the above path

$cgi_url = "http://www.mydomain.com/scripts/wwwadmin.pl"; This is the url of the admin script

$mesgdir = "messages"; $datafile = "data.txt"; $mesgfile = "wwwboard.html"; $passwd_file = "passwd.txt"; These should all remain the same

$ext = "html"; This is the extension for the pages - leave as .html

$title = "WWWBoard Version 2.0 Test"; This is the title for the board that you are using

$use_time = 1; # 1 = YES; 0 = NO Do you want to stamp messages with time ?
