- The method of transferring files and removing files is via File Transer Protocol (FTP). You just connect your ftp client to ftp.quickness.com (using your user name and password), and you will gain access to your file directory.
- A good place to look for all Internet related software would be Tucows. They have a large selection of software utilities for Windows, Mac, and OS/2. If you are running Unix, an FTP client should be available right in your operating system by typing FTP at a command prompt. We highly recommend:
- The directory your ftp logs into is called html. This is your root directory for your files that you wish to be viewed on the web. All uploaded files should be in that directory, or sub-directories of that directory, which you may create with your FTP Client.
- These directories are system directories, which hold information about your account so that our server can recognize you. They don't count to your total webspace which you purchased.
- If you have registred a domain name then your URL would be www.yourdomainname, otherwise your URL would be www.quickness.com/~yourusername.
- You create them by using your FTP Cleint.
- Check the file permissions to make sure you have granted access to these directories.
- Your path is /home/yourusername/html, thus a file in your html directory called any.txt would be accessed by /home/yourusername/html/any.txt in a script.
- The best way to accomplish this is with your FTP Client. Usually they have an option so that you can change file permissions on servers. Make sure the client you select has this feature. Some which do are:
- Hyper-Text Markup Language is the proper term for HTML, and it is the language of home pages. If you want a good looking website you best be learning HTML.
- In order to take advantage of Server-Side Includes you must use the file extension .shtml which will tell the server to parse the HTML.
- You can always get a book on HTML as there are many, but since this is the information super-highway, and also the world wide web, click
here for one website related to HTML and other internet information. You can also do a search for information with one of the many Internet search engines.
- Perl's author, Larry Wall, describes Perl this way:
- Perl is an interpreted language optimized for scanning arbitrary text files, extracting information from those text files, and printing reports based on that information. It's also a good language for many system management tasks. The language is intended to be practical (easy to use, efficient, complete) rather than beautiful (tiny, elegant, minimal). It combines (in the author's opinion, anyway) some of the best features of C, sed, awk, and sh, so people familiar with those languages should have little difficulty with it. (Language historians will also note some vestiges of csh, Pascal, and even BASIC-PLUS.) Expression syntax corresponds quite closely to C expression syntax. Unlike most Unix utilities, Perl does not arbitrarily limit the size of your data--if you've got the memory, Perl can slurp in your whole file as a single string. Recursion is of unlimited depth. And the hash tables used by associative arrays grow as necessary to prevent degraded performance. Perl uses sophisticated pattern matching techniques to scan large amounts of data very quickly. Although optimized for scanning text, Perl can also deal with binary data, and can make dbm files look like associative arrays (where dbm is available). Setuid Perl scripts are safer than C programs through a dataflow tracing mechanism which prevents many stupid security holes. If you have a problem that would ordinarily use sed or awk or sh, but it exceeds their capabilities or must run a little faster, and you don't want to write the silly thing in C, then Perl may be for you. There are also translators to turn your sed and awk scripts into Perl scripts.
- Perl is a great way to create interactive Internet websites. Once you've learned it, you can really get your interactive sites working nicely.
- Click here for an on-line PERL manual. Of course you can get books and find other websites.
- PERL is located at /usr/bin/perl so the first line of any PERL script should be #!/usr/bin/perl and nothing else.
- The Quickness Web Server runs PERL Version 5.
- This is done via your FTP Client, but make sure you transfer the files in ASCII mode and not in binary mode.
- Normally this happens if you don't set your file permissions to 755 which allows the script to be executable.
- This is done via your FTP Client.
- The most probable causes of this are syntax errors with in your script, and/or the fact that you did not xet your FTP Client to ASCII mode when you uploaded the scripts.
- Common syntax errors in PERL Version 5 include:
- Forgetting to end lines with a semi-colon
- Not escaping (putting a bacslash before) an '@' sign in an email address
- Not matching parenthesis
- Not matching brackets
- The most common problem for this is the file and/or directory in which the file is located not having the correct file permissions set so that they can be modified by the script.
- Sendmail is loacted at /usr/sbin/sendmail
- In order to keep the speed of our servers as fast as is possible, we have not included any PERL debugging software. We recommend that you download the PERL version for your particular operation system, and check your syntax via typeing perl -c followed by your script name. It will perform a syntax check just as we could on this werver. There is a version of PERL available for DOS/Windows 3.1, Windows 32 bit(NT and 95), Mac, OS/2 and Unix. For all purposes you can set up a web server on your local machine and run your scripts before uploading them.
