"1 Installing FatBomb"
 
LAST EDITED ON Oct-20-07 AT 07:23 AM (PST)
 
Directions and Video for installing Fatty...

Installation:

1 Check/change "path to perl": #!/usr/bin/perl

2 Upload/FTP everything in ASCII/text mode using your FTP programs.

3 Set permissions of fatbomb.cgi to 755.

4 Set permissions of all the folders to 755. If this returns an error, try setting folders to 777.


5 Log into your admin. Your admin URL should look something like this:

http://www.yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/fatbomb.cgi/admin/do_login

Or maybe:

http://www.yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/fatbomb/fatbomb.cgi/admin/do_login


The default password is:

test

Change this immediately!

Modifying Your Skins:
Upload the folder /styles/ to the root folder of your website. Make sure the /images folder is inside this folder: /styles/ /styles/images

Next, open skins 1-10 and change the following line in your skins to point to the /styles/ folder on your domain: @import url( http://MySite.com/styles/style10.css )

Hi Kurt,

Good instructions. Easy install.

Questions.

1. After modifying the skins, do we go ahead and upload them?
2. In the configuration page, after I log in, I get
<form action="http://domain.com/cgi-bin/fatbomb/fatbomb.cgi/";
Is this how it should be or should it automatically generate the proper script for my installation?

Thanks and blessings,

Ed

   Thanks Kurt! I'll look. I think I missed the setting in the Video #2.

Another question, more about installation strategy....

On my domain, let's call it, DomainA.com, I want to have a travel site and then also have fatty running.

Should I still have fatty skins, etc in the root directory or should I separate the fatty stuff buy putting it in a subdirectory?

Thanks!

Ed

Hi Ed,

It seems to me that you can probably find that information in the Skins thread here:

http://www.dombom.com/cgi-bin/dcforum/dcboard.cgi?az=show_thread&om=17&forum=DCForumID42

At least I think that is where I read that.

Hi Ed,

I'm not really sure what you'e asking, but:

- Questions and comments about skins belong on the Skins thread.

- Skins need to be uploaded to the skins directory in the FatBomb directory in the cgi-bin:
cgi-bin/fatbomb/skins/

Feel ashamed to post this.

With the Video tutorial and explanation it should have been fairly easy install however after repeating the process 2 times, I'm getting 505 error on trying http://www.mydomain.com/cgi-bin/fatbomb/fatbomb.cgi/admin/do_login

I'm trying to install Fatbomb 1.0 (Plan to upgrade soon once I get a site going with it). Have tried both 755 and 777 for other folders as instructed.

Can't figure the problem.

404 means your are typing in the wrong URL to get to the Fatty admin and setting the permissions doesn't have anything to do with this problem.

You need to double check where you installed FatBomb...Did you rename it? Is the folder fatbomb or fatty? Did you upload all the files directly to your cgi-bin?

Chance are you now have two issues:
1 The URL
2 You've changed permsissions trying to fix #1, so this may create a second error.

Hi Mao...

I'm hoping you mean a 500 error, and not a 505 as I don't know what a 505 is.

500 error:
Make sure files were uploaded in text/ascii mode ONLY

Check path to perl to make sure it matches your server

Recheck permissions

Make sure your server has these perl modules (you'll need to check with your host):
lwp modules

server misconfig: Do you have any other perl/cgi scripts running correctly?

Let me add one more to the list:

Notepad - If you used it to change your path to perl, it can be the cause. It sometimes adds invisible characters that mess up the scripts.

DO NOT USE NOTEPAD FOR PERL/CGI SCRIPTS. I recommend Textpad as the official Bomber text editor.

www.textpad.com (free for 30 days, then a minor nag screen)

It's working now.

I'm not sure what the problem was.

I deleted and uploaded fatbomb.cgi once again, changed the permission .... and it's working!

Thanks,

Hi,
I have been using fatbomb on my sites and had even lost the fatbomb script a little earlier.

Now, I wanted to install fatbomb on a new site of mine, so what I did was to download the fatbomb script from my earlier site to my hard drive and then uploaded it to the new site.

But when I try to go to http://www.domain.com/cgi-bin/fatbomb/fatbomb.cgi/admin/do_login I get an internal server error.

I have even changed the permissions to 755 and checked with 777 too, but it didnt work. I dont know what's wrong.

I also ran a test.cgi with only these lines below and it works okay -
---------------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Content-type: text/plain\n\n";
print "testing...\n";
---------------------------------------------

Now,this new site is also on the same host although on a subdomain.

So,this means that the server settings are correct.

What else could be wrong?

Any Ideas??

bye,
faraz

Hi Faraz,

Each host sets up sub domains differently. You'll need to ask them about server/script config.

Once you're sure you can run scripts from a sub domain, check to make sure you downloaded and uploaded using ASCII/text via ftp.

After that, missing files would be the next thing to check.

I am already running fatbomb on a subdomain of this host.
I just started a new site on another subdomain.
So,should I check for missing files now?
well then, let me check.

Well, I checked the error logs too. and the error is " premature end of script headers". What should I do now?

bye,
faraz

Faraz,

You should start completely over. Delete the FatBomb files and reupload them.

Often, mistakes will occur on the 3-4-5th installs because we think we know what to do, but will forget something.

As you posted, you know the script works on a subdomain on your host. That means the scripts are OK and the host is OK. That only leaves one thing: User error.

Start over from the begininng reading the ReadMe and viewing the video, assume you know nothing. If you download Fatty from a domain of your's, do it a couple of times to make sure everything was downloaded. Then, when you reupload, do that a few times just to make sure.

I'm guessing that:

A- fatbomb,cgi creates that admin thingie somehow

or

B- that the admin file being looked for isn't in my upload fileset, because when I downloaded the fatty2.zip, I extracted it and looked at all the files I had in there, and no admin folder, so I'm assuming it's #1?

I checked my perl location, it's the default, and I renamed fatbomb to something else, and I watched the video, too.

All permissions were set correctly, to either 755 or 777, so I'm stuck here

Hi Dan,

It needs to be installed in your cgi-bin. Although, it is possible to install it in other directories, this requires a special server set up that most hosts don't have.

The admin "folder" is created dynamically by Fatbomb.cgi and doesn't really exist on your server. You need to access this "folder" using a web browser and the URL similar to:
www.YourDomain.com/cgi-bin/fatbomb/fatbomb.cgi/admin/do_login

Note that your set up may use the directory "fatty2" instead of "fatbomb".

Hi Dan,

You said you installed fatty in the cgi-bin, but neither of the above are the cgi-bin. The root may contain a cgi-bin, but it's the cgi-bin and not the root where the files need to be uploaded.

Email your FTP info to me and I'll take a look...Something just doesn't sound right.

Do you hve any other perl/cgi files installed and running on this host? They may not have cgi configured properly.

   Kurt,

I put them install cgi bin directories,outside of those directories, in .com/blog, in the .com directory, pretty much everywhere I could think of, but on several sites, it was installed to the cgi bins, eithe rin /blog, or in .com directory.

Will PM you FTP info for one site in particular, I removed all vestiges of these installs, by the way, just to clean things up

   Hey Kurt,

please disregard my latest PM. I got it to work with Mary M's help tonight, also had old version of Fatty via welcome email, too, but she helped me work through all that and we got fatty install and admin panel accesible on a subdirectory (like .com/blog) and on a wordPress site, to boot.

Mary did some voodoo for the .htaccess file that got things working for me, now its time to choose skins and configure the Fatty admin, then its back to working on setting up blog bomb.

hopefully that works well on wordPress blogs appendined to a main domian name

Thanks,

Dan

   Hey Dan,

You can go here to find out about Fatty skins:

http://www.dombom.com/cgi-bin/dcforum/dcboard.cgi?az=show_thread&om=17&forum=DCForumID42

You can ask skins questions there too.

As far as BBX working in WP goes, I'm not sure how to go about getting it to work. It seems to me someone else posted a thread about WP. I may be wrong about this one too, but if not, I suggest you look for it in the main section, and see what you can gather from it.

Hope this helps ...


Mary

Hi Russ...

This error doesn't have anything to do with permissions, so you don't have to tweak those.

You're not entering the correct URL in your browser in relation to where you installed Fatty.

Check the name of the directory you put Fatty in, and also double check that the name of the script is fatbomb.cgi and not something like fatty.cgi.

It's a simple error that can be a pain to fix if you aren't familiar with installing scripts.

   Thanks Kurt I found the culprit, it was a capital letter I was missing.

Hi,

Fatty is trying to read where Blogbomb is installed to include RSS in the Fatty search results.

You have two choices:

Enter the correct "FULL SERVER PATH" to BlogBomb's feedsearch_ssi.cgi .

-or-

In your FatBomb admin, click "Feeds" and either disable or delete the existing "configure BlogBomb "feeds".

The full path can be tricky if you're not sure what it is. However, if you are familiar with full paths, it's pretty easy.

Also note, quite a few of Fatty's engines aren't working right now and need an update. I'll try to get to this once my programmer is back...


-Boom boom boom boom.

   Hi Kurt,

Thanks very much for the help and fast response. I'm looking forward to getting the update for the engines so that I can try these tools out. Guess I'm a bit late for the "party" so to speak, but hopefully I can catch up quickly
