Topic: Move album.pl directory?? and a few other questions.

[PSS-Mag]

When I installed album.pl it installed all of the .cfg, .pl, and .tml files as well as the sources folder directly in the cgi-bin.
I just left it as I was just trying it out..... Well I got it working and liked it enough to start running it, gave my members link on the forum and going smooth. Now I'd like the cgi-bin organized...... but every time I move the files and folder into a directory and try to run the config file to point everything to it's new place...  I get 404 error. If I run config first and point everything to the new files, then move them, same thing.

So what is the proper procedure to move the files and sources folder. I just want them in a cgi-bin/albumPl folder.


Also....
I'm a newbie so be patient....
I'm running a YaBB 2.2 forum. I'd like to make album.pl appear more integrated. Have the yabb navigation in the header and footer of the album.pl so it doenst really take you way from the forums

I copied and pasted the top part of the yabb/Templates/default/default.html code that I wanted and pasted in the top of album_header.tml all I get is {yabb} blah blah blah....
I think it's because it's not in the yabb directory... so may have to put the album tml files into the yabb default templates folder. So again will need to learn how to move the files....

Any help would be appreciated and any guidance (confirmation that I'm on the right track or tell me the proper way) on integrating with Yabb2.2 would be spectacular!

OK figured out the integration, kind of a cheap cheat, but works. If anyone else is interested, I posted a step by step in the tips and tricks section on here.

Now I'd really like to organize the cgi-bin and get album.pl files into a respective folder.
I'm still working on that......

OK, so I created albumPL under cgi-bin and moved the perl programs, tml files and cfg file to the new directory. I moved the Modules directory under albumPL also
I then manually edited album.cfg, replacing all instances of /cgi-bin with /cgi-bin/albumPL
Then I had to make sure album.cfg was web-writeable. I created empty, writeable notify_addresses.txt and album.log files.

It works just fine.

AHHHH, I didn't manually edit the album.cfg, I tried to run it from the browser before and or after moving.....
Maybe thats it.
I knew there was a method that I was missing.
I'll play with it later and see what happens and report back.

Can I edit album.cfg in alleycode or dreamweaver or notepad++ or similar program? Or do I need another program?

Thanks.
