Hi,
I followed all the setup instructions, except for
this one :

11. Edit the project.pl file and fix the WEBROOT
variable to cause the URL to point to the root of the
document tree, the same directory which contains the
XP directory.

I did not understand this one.
I am getting errors when access project.cgi.
I would appreciate help on this.

Regards,
Somik

    The WEBROOT variable stores the fixed initial portion of
    your website's URL. On my office machine, the desired URL
    to my XP page is "http://joi.aravox.com/XP/", so the WEBROOT
    is set to "http://joi.aravox.com".

    On my ISP, the URL is "http://www.visi.com/~gyles19/XP/", so
    WEBROOT is set to "http://www.visi.com/~gyles19" instead.

    Yes, but where do I make the change? I did not find the
    WEBROOT variable in project.pl as mentioned in the doc.

    Doh! I apparently moved it to the new file, local.pl, and
    neglected to update the install page.

    I went through all of the code and moved the site-specific
    variables to local.pl so that I could simplify cvs checkins
    and general site maintenance.

    Sorry about the confusion.

    Hi Joi,
    Wondering if you've updated the distribution with
    local.pl. I'd very much like to use XPCGI.
