Troubleshooting

Most of the time, BaconCall would work fine. However, it's not impossible for things to go wrong.
Here is a list of errors and what they mean.

`BACON/400 (Bad Request)`

This error indicates that there may not be an index file in the baconfile directory. Try adding an index file, or making sure that $bacon_indexfile is set properly.

`BACON/403 (Forbidden)`

Well, aren't you naughty? This usually occurs when you attempt to escape the baconfile directory.

`BACON/404 (Not Found)`

The page which you are requesting doesn't exist.

`BACON/500 (Internal Error)`

This means that the baconfile directory does not exist.

Config Options

baconcall.php has several configuration options you can set.

`$bacon_indexfile`

The filename that the script looks for if there is no requested BID.

`$bacon_errors`

A list of error messages to display when something goes wrong, in the form of [ 400, 500, 403, 404 ].
