Hello all,
I'm a rookie at web related coding stuff, I'm not going to sugarcoat it, I really don't know more than html editing and doing stuff from the file manager. I am trying to integrate PayPal's password management system into my site so I don't have to type in usernames and passwords manually every time somebody signs up thru paypal.
I've got the paypal pearl script put in the cgi-bin folder as they've asked and put in all the paths I can figure out directly from CP but I have a couple things I can't seem to find. Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction please?
1. Need to change the owner of the .pl file to the "user that apache runs as" .. so who does apache run as and how do I change the owner inside CP?
2. They also had me create a file to store info about processed transactions - and change the owner of that to my actual username - which I know, but don't know how to change it. Basically same premise as question 1.
3. Finally, they want me to specify the path of sendmail. The PayPal manual example looked like this:
my $SENDMAIL_PATH = '/usr/sbin/sendmail';
I looked all over CP's file manager and found no such thing (this will indicate to most of you how sketchy at this I really am) -- so can anyone give me a hint on what to do with this?
Thanks for any help that anyone can provide, it will be greatly appreciated.
