Installing Honey Pots

Error accessing

Author: D.Barefoot (25 Nov 04 2:34am)

The installation into MT went smoothly, apparently, and I activated the plugin using the postobit.cgi script. However, when I try to access the plugin at:

http://www.darrenbarefoot.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-projecthoneypot.cgi

I get the following error:

An error occurred: Can't locate HTML/Template.pm in @INC (@INC contains: plugins/Blacklist/lib ./plugins ./lib /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.1/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.1 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.1/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.1 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.1/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.1 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl .) at lib/MT/App.pm line 403.

I've got nothing. Any thoughts? DB.

It looks like you are missing the HTML::Template module. This module is required by a function in Movable Type that the Project Honey Pot MT Plugin calls. You may be able to solve this by installing HTML::Template. The easiest way to do so is use CPAN. Try entering the following at the command line of your server:

perl -MCPAN -e "install HTML::Template"

That should walk you through the process of installing the HTML::Template module. If that doesn't work, you can install the module by hand by downloading it from the following site:

http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/module/HTML::Template

Even if you are unable to get the plugin to behave, you can still take part in Project Honey Pot. The plugin simply makes it easier to add hidden links to your site's pages. You can add them manually as well. To get instructions on how to do so for your honey pot, visit the following page:

Sorry for the problems, hopefully this will resolve them. Welcome to the Project!

Thanks for that. I'll try the manual root, as that seems quicker and easier. I've embedded a couple of different usages in my individual and category templates, so hopefully that will function as it's supposed to.
