Anyone else using GoDaddy as their host?  GoDaddy employs the utility "sbox" to "contain" cgi scripts.  It seems to do a lot of path mangling.  I had Calendarscript working fine, and it suddenly stopped working as of 6/05.  I've tried to find out what changed on the server, to no avail so far.

I am having the same problem. GoDaddy changed something in their servers without contacting anyone who has a CGI acct with them to let them know. None of my CGI stuff works now. I'm waiting for a call back from their customer support who will hopefully help me to fix this issue, and I will let you know what's up when they do.

It appears that GoDaddy has fixed the problem. My scripts work again.

Thanks Johnny -- glad to hear it was a general problem rather than something I screwed up (although I hadn't changed anything recently).

My site is working too -- got a reply to my support incident on Thursday evening.

Oops -- spoke too soon.

My main script - calendar.pl - works, but the admin stuff doesn't work.

Johnny -- are you running CalendarScript on GoDaddy?

We have the same problem with GoDaddy.  They still have not been able to help me come to a resolution.  Has anyone out there figured out how to get it to run with the new Sbox setup?  It has something to do with the addressing.  GoDaddy gave me the absolute path information but nothing is working.  This really stinks.

I was having the same problem and after several days of frustrating wrong responses from tech support, I finally browsed through many of the messages on this support board and was able to discover that you need to make a change in the 'calendar_admin.pl" file in line 322:

$admin_template_dir = $AdminConfig->get("admin_template_dir") | | "English";

As best as I can figure it out, there was a change in the way that the GoDaddy servers are configured, but someone forgot to change the reference on the server.  They used to use sbox but no longer do, so the script is asking the server for the CGI URL and is being returned a directory structure which includes "http://www.yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/sbox/script.CGI" and it is no longer correct.  We now need to list our CGI URL as "http://www.yourdomain.com/cgi/script.CGI".  By replacing the above line in the calendar_admin.pl file, though, you go around this by having the script obtain the CGI URL from your config.txt file instead.

You said that -

you need to make a change in the 'calendar_admin.pl" file in line 322:

$admin_template_dir = $AdminConfig->get("admin_template_dir") | | "English";

Change it to what exactly?

[smgrizzle]

Line 322 reads:

$Template::CGI_URL = $ENV{'SCRIPT_NAME'} | | $ENV{'REQUEST_URI'} ;

Changing it to the following works for godaddy:

$Template::CGI_URL = $ENV{'REQUEST_URI'} | | $ENV{'SCRIPT_NAME'} ;

   The "| |" in the suggested line of code above should not have any spaces between them when written into the script's pages. This forum software adds a space there when posting in these forums.

JFYI

actually that doesn't really work

it's better to grab it from the config file instead, correct me if I'm wrong

here's what i put
$Template::CGI_URL = $AdminConfig->get("calendar_admin_url");

or else the menus just don't work

In regards to Godaddy and the calendar script.
I am having the same problems with godaddy and the /sbox thing.
Have followed the advice of changing line 322 in the admin script. But no luck. the Admin script will not work.
So are there any other suggestions out there.

Help
