NEVER MIND IT WORKS NOW!

Sorry to keep bugging but I keep getting the following error:

The server encountered an error while trying to access adcount.txt!

My ads.pl variables look like this:

require "/cgi-bin/ads_display.pl";

$adverts_dir = "/propaganda";
$display_cgi = "http://www.buscanegocios.com/cgi-bin/ads.pl";

------------------------------------------------------------
And my ads_admin.pl variables are:

$adverts_dir = "/propaganda";
$admin_cgi = "http://www.buscanegocios.com/cgi-bin/ads_admin.pl";
$nonssi_cgi = "http://www.buscanegocios.com/cgi-bin/ads.pl";

I put relative paths on "require" and "$adverts_dir" because I tried with absolute paths and it didn't work. I am on a NT sever by the way.

Can somebody assist?
Thanks in advance,
Sergio Bayona

thank you fairhousing. I think I found the problem.

it should create the file for you. the prob is mostly like the directory that the file is supposed to be in isn't chmod'ed properly, try 777.

good luck

I just downloaded the webadverts script today and I runned into the following problem.
When I tried to access the admin page it says:

File Permission Error!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The server encountered an error while trying to access adcount.txt!

The most likely cause of the problem is a permissions error in your adverts directory (d:/mypath/). Make sure that the directory exists and that it is set world-writable.

---------------------------------
The problem, I think, is that it is looking for the adcount.txt file, and that file doesn't even exist on the webadverts file bundle. Does it mean I have to create an adcount.txt file?
Any help will be greatly apreciated.

I changed all of the files to have a .cgi extension, then went in and changed the code to reflect those changes. I did get to login to the admin area, I set up an account. Everything seemed to work fine. The probelem, was when I loaded the page with the banner call on it, no banner appeared, although, when I clicked on the blank image, it took me to a page which said invalid destination. I think I did everything cprrectly, any ideas what I might have goofed up?

Have you tried renaming the script to ads_admin.cgi ? Some servers like you to use that extension instead of the .pl, so they may show .pl files as text instead of executing them.
