I have been running Calendarscript on another server for years. Switching over to a new host and their server keeps rewriting the following lines...

These are the lines when the script is first installed.

my ($path) = $ENV{'PATH_TRANSLATED'} | | $ENV{'SCRIPT_FILENAME'};
unless ($path) {
print

Server? changes lines to this...?

my ($path) = /usr/local/cpanel/base/frontend/x/files/savefile.html | | $ENV{'SCRIPT_FILENAME'};
unless ($path) {
print

Why is this happening? The server Im presently does not rewrite these lines??? Ive tried to set path manually but it still rewrites lines.

** new host server keeps rewriting the following lines... Why is this happening? **

I'm afraid you'll have to ask that host's support. I've never heard of such a thing before.

Thanks for the reply DanO! Very strange indeed. Well see what my support figures out.

Just a thought, how are you uploading the file??

I see ../local/cpanel/base... in the new path. If uploading through cpanel, maybe it (for whatever reason) is acting upon that variable.

If you are uploading it that way, I'd suggest using a dedicated FTP client instead. That way you should be able to control what's going on during the process.

I will try that.

Didnt change. Still rewriting the path info. Ive noticed that on this site, anytime I go leave root level things get wrong. ex.
If i am off root level but I call to root like this... /images/somepic. does not work but /subdomainname/images/somepic works. Seems wrong that I have to call sub name instead of just / am I totally off base to say this server doent link up very good. anyway Its late and im typing to much...Thanks for replys DanO

** I call to root like this... /images/somepic does not work but /subdomainname/images/somepic works. **

That's because the leading / says, start looking from the root. If you don't supply all the directory information from there, you can't get to where you're going.

If you are already in the sub-directory subdomainname, using just images/somepic as a path should work (note the lack of leading /) which says look from here on and not start at the bottom (or top - depending on how you view the tree).

I got it! I dont know why paths keep messing me up. Anyway, my calendarscript problem was caused by using my ftp client in auto. Corrupted files! Thanks as always DanO

I've never heard of any kind of file corruption changing a variable in the script like you stated was occurring.

Glad to hear you got it running though.
