Newbie Questions

First off, great forum. It has been very helpful so far with my initial setup. I do have a few newbie questions though.
1. I have noticed that some of the user sites have an index.html main page. How was this created as my install has index.Shtml which references auction.cgi?
2. How can I change the name of the IE window to reference my site name instead of the default Mewsoft? I have edited the auction.cgi and can't find it.
3. I am hosting my own site and need the Business::Onlinepayment PERL module. Any ideas as to where I can find it? Its not in the default installed PMs. I assume I need a URL as I did with DBI, DBD and CG. I can't register new users without it.

Thanks for all of the help.

Normally the index.shtml file is placed in your docs root to pul any cgi script or program as your homepage. If you place .html or any other extension, you will have to put a Javascript code to call the scripts and this needs browser redirect while the .shtml file is parased on your server so it is much faster and easier also.


2. How can I change the name of the IE window to reference my site name instead of the default Mewsoft? I have edited the auction.cgi and can't find it.



This is in your admin->general classess, see the "Header" class, but you will need to editthe meta tags in your admin->general options:

Default Meta Title:
Default Meta Description:
Default Meta Keywords:
