Installation
Path to Perl
#!/usr/bin/perl
- The script uses the most common path to Perl however if the script doesn’t run for you, you may have to change the first line of each cgi and pm file.
Configuration
- The Configs.pm file contains several variables that will need editing before the script will run on your server.
This is the directory where new, unused images will be stored, this can be a the name of the directory if its under the scripts path, or you can enter the full server path to the directory.
Enter the directory to store images that have already been displayed. Once again this can also be a full server path.
You can also change the files accepted by the script by changing the values in this array.
- Upload your images to the directory specified in $new.
- Customise template.html to your liking. Be sure to include %img% where you’d like the URL of the image inserted.
