Script Error

Error:

Can't verify file locking - aborting.

Make sure the following has been observed:

Unix Servers:

data.cgi is writable by this script
If a file locking problem, make sure the directory this script resides in is writable. Note, the directory does not have to be writable for the script to write to files, only for it to create files. File creation is required for proper file locking.

Windows NT systems:

data.cgi must be writable and accessible by the script
banner.cgi must be able to write to files and create files
On some NT systems, the variable near the top of banner.cgi must be set. It is currently set as follows:
Note that under most systems, "." is fine. This specifies that it is set to the current directory. However, some NT systems require the full server path. Contact your system administrator to find the full path to your cgi-bin directory.

If you still have trouble, contact BannerCGI@HostFacts.com and I will attempt to help.

Edit Preferences

This is where you can set up your preferences for your banner rotation script.

If you do not wish to change your password, just leave those fields blank. If you change it, you will be prompted to enter it again once you have submitted your preferences.
New Password:
Confirm Password:
Set the Default Banner and Default Link to reflect the banner you want shown if your regular banners run out of remaining impressions. A good idea is to use an "Advertise Here" banner, so that the script can attempt to solicit more advertisers once they have run out.
Default Banner Image:
Default Link:
Checking the Random checkbox will cause the script to select banners randomly, based on the weight property of each banner. If it is not checked, the script will select them in the order they appear in the data file, ignoring the weight property all together. This will ensure that your banners all get the same number of impressions.
Select Banners Randomly:
Check the checkbox below if you do not want the Remaining Impressions to be decreased - for example, if you simply want your banners to always show, setting no maximum impressions. The Total / Remaining impressions property will have no effect when this option is enabled.
Disable Banner Expiration:
Check the following checkbox if you want your banner links to open in a new window. This applies to all banners served by the script.
