I've download an advanced guestbook from the Cpanel and it is on the host site server. How do I get it to put it on the website. I can't find in the host or the cpanel tutorial how to do this. It's takes them 3 days in the ticket system to answer and it's never a resolution.

I'm getting closer. I am on control panel and this is what they said to do but I don't know how to do it. Maybe I will stumble up on it like I did this.

You will need to place the CGI Scripts that you want to run with your userid in the directory /home/leadjcom/public_html/scgi-bin. Once you do this they can be accessed at http://leadnumberbytenaj.com/scgi-bin/
I know I am pretty stupid but I am new to all of this.

Not knowing what CGI script you have giving an exact answer is pretty difficult but generally a CGI script is used to process some sort of data input by the user through use of a form. So my advice would be to make a form and have the following code in it along with a submit button. action="whateveryoursiscalled.cgi" and method="post"

I downloaded a phb advanced guestbook from my control panel (cpanel) and I have no idea how to install it to the website. The files are uploaded on the server. I'm just clueless on what to do next.
This is the message that I got.

Ignorance abound! I didn't realize that I had to change my password on the cpanel from the administrators to another one. I know that is pretty stupid.LOL Who would have thunk? I figured since I was logged on under a password, I was logged on! So evidently to use the pre-made scripts you have to change your password. brrrrrrrrr
It's not installed yet, I got a different error message. LOL geeResponse Number 7 Reply:
THIS IS WHERE I AM NOW
Advanced Guestbook Setup
Your database:
Your MySQL host:
Your MySQL username:
Your MySQL password:
What goes in "your database"
What goes in MySQL host- is it my hosting site.I'm using PHP and mysql

Assuming cPanel is setting it up, it normally does all that for you. You shouldn't have to fill any of that out.
If you do need to fill it out, the "your database" is the name of the database you created under the "MySQL Databases" section of cPanel.
The host is usually "localhost"
