Installation
  1. The package of Perl, GD needs to be installed on your server.
  2. Put nerimb3.cgi and cgi-lib.pl into a CGI executable and writable directory

  4. Modify the Perl path of the first line of the nerimb3.cgi to match your server environment.
  5. Modify permission of nerimb3.cgi properly.
  6. Open nerimb3.cgi in your browser. Then it will ask admin password. Please set it here.
  7. Once set the password, Click the "admin setup" link and set the CGI environement.
  8. Now you can use it as a Message Board.
SSI Preview mode
    nerimb3.cgi display first *lt;line> line by putting it as a SSI in a shtml file as follows.

    <!--#include virtual="nerimb3.cgi?mode=ssi&line=10" -->

    In this example, it displays first 10 lines.
    This can be used as a preview in your top page.
    SSI mode sample

    If you use this script as mbssi.cgi(either copy or symbolic link), it is automatically invokeed as the SSI mode.
    If your server does not support include, you may be able to use exec.
    Example : <!--#exec cgi="mbssi.cgi" -->

Light mode for mobile device
    Next URL allows to display minimum message for mobile mode.
    Example : nerimb3.cgi?mode=iread
    Mobile mode sample

    If you invoke it as mbiread.cgi(either copy or symbolic link), it is automatically invoked as a mobile mode.
    It is easy to enter in a mobile device due to a short script name.
    Example : mbiread.cgi

Special usage
    Particular messages can be displayed by a directo link with <a href> as follows.
  • nerimb3.cgi?mode=print&message=<number>
    displays Message# <number>
    <number> can be specified multiple numbers by separating with hyphen or comma.
    Hyphen indicates a range, comma is a separator.
    Example : nerimb3.cgi?mode=print&message=12,15,24,20-22,8-5
    displays Message#5,6,7,8,12,15,20,21,22,24
  • nerimb3.cgi?mode=print&message=<number>&title=on
    displays the titles of Message# <number>
    <number> can be specified multiple numbers by separating with hyphen or comma.

  • http:// in the message will be linked automatically.
  • (#1234) will be automatically linked to the Message number 1234.

Security
    The permission of the updated image files are automatically modified to 0666. However, any files can be uploaded by anyone. To have tight security, it is recommended to have an image upload directory which is different than cgi execution directory and the directory where the files will be stored should not be a CGI executable by server setting.

Explanation
  • This scirpt is not required to run nerimb3.cgi. Sololy executed.
  • mbutil.pl ueses the setup file of nerimb3.cgi.
  • Perl modules LWP::UserAgent, GD, CGI::Carp have to be installed.
  • This was not included in nerimb3.cgi in default because the above modules are necessary. Some of server might be not installed them in default and I did not want to restrict running nerimb3.cgi because of this script.
