Hi,
thanks for this program. It's cute, easy, and very reliable. After some minutes, i found out how to configure it to fit my needs, and it works fine now.
The only thing i would have to suggest, would be to write some README and/or INSTALL file for those of us that have shell access but no clue how to use it :-)
Since the program is from 2004, i assume that you don't do any active development anymore on it, but if you might do something sometime later, i would feature-request (not for me, but for others it might be helpful):
- own configuration file for making the program language-aware, e.g. variables instead of text and a config file where one can select prewritten languages
- Disabling some parts (e.g. gallery and rant) completely by configuration variable
- Making the php_errors away (e.g. adding isset() function around if() statements like variable tests)

If you're interested in my modifications, i might send you a diff ... it's not much, but something i found worth to be cleaned up :)

But... thanks again for it, it's working for me (besides my little changes :)

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/howto/htaccess.html

Basically, a .htaccess file tells apache what settings will apply in the current directory (and subdirectories therein). Any settings specified in this file will override those set in the global httpd.conf file.

Among other things, these files are necessary (generally) for creating password protected directories in apache.

Sorry to be a total newb, but what is a .htaccess file, and how do I set one up? I'm familiar with basic unix commands and have basic shell access at my isp, but I don't know much at all about php or apache.

Your site has been inaccessible for the past few hours. Why don't you email me your config file, and I'll look at it?

Ok, you see how that error message says: opendir([unixpath][unixpath][webpath]); and the links at the top go to (e.g.) http://www.hollicost.com/home/holcost/public_html/mycomic/archives.php?

The problem is your path variable. Right now from looking at this, it looks like it is "/home/holcost/public_html/mycomic/", that is the unix path. What you want is the website path, which would be simply "/mycomic" in your situation.

You can fix this by editing the config file-the variables are all commented with examples.
