THE GUESTBOOK IS DOWN PLESE TRY LATER.

If you are getting errors its probably a permissions thing.

No, I put that there because of the permission error.

THE GUESTBOOK IS DOWN PLESE TRY LATER.

I followed these instructions but did not understand the first part

This guestbook offers you many options.
You can specify required fields, send e-mail notification,
specify entries per page, censor bad words and delete guestbook entries.
All guestbook pages can be accessed via jump menu.

1.Open guestbook.pl with a text editor.
Change the url in line one, to the Perl program at your server.
Usually it is: - /usr/bin/perl or /usr/local/bin/perl for Unix.
- C:/Perl/Perl.exe for Windows (use slash "/")
Set the correct paths and required urls. Did not understand - I put http://lynchknot.com/cgi-bin/guestbook.p because the first line reads like this:# url of script
$cgiurl = "http://lynchknot.com/cgi-bin/guestbook.pl";

2.Upload guestbook.pl in ASCII-mode to your cgi-bin directory
and change mode it to 755 (-rwxr-xr-x).

3.Open addentry..html with a text editor.
Change the line
<form method="post" action="/cgi-bin/guestbook.pl">
to the correct location of guestbook.pl

Did you do this:

- C:/Perl/Perl.exe for Windows (use slash "/")
