Ok, don't laugh. I can usually figure things out, but this is a complete brain freeze.

I need the answer to the following:

# $classdir should point to the full server path of the new directory that you created
# for this program where the ads.counter file and the HTML pages for the ads will be
# stored. For Unix servers, this new directory should have its permissions set to 777.


$classdir = "/usr/
What are they using as the example data. This is a classified ad script written in Perl. I don't know Perl and don't have it to check my syntax with.

Could someone please give me an example of what I need?
Thanks in advance,

Hi,

You need to use the full path from the root of your drive to the file.

Normally, the server path is something like / etc, but really could be anything. Ask your host what the path is to your files.
