Re: HELP..CGI Scripts and Perl!!
> What I get is a Error 500 cannot execute counter.pl... make sure that your script is executable and readable by the web server: % chmod a+rx counter.pl then, try running counter.pl from the shell: % ./counter.pl it won't `work' in the sense of doing the same thing that it would do if served up by an http server, but at least you'll be able to see whether perl is complaining about syntax errors. finally, start a `tail -f' on the error log file that is generated by the http server (this example may be wrong for you; depends on where your log files are): % tail -f /var/log/apache/errlog this will show you any errors that the perl interpreter is having while running the script. this is a great (well, better) way to debug cgi scripts. john -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

HELP..CGI Scripts and Perl!!
For months I have tried to get the CGI scripts to work. Today I really became upset when I got a simple script with the instructions to install it and it still didn't work. I went through a book called WEB SITE Administrators Survival Guide that explained all of the Permissions settings and it still didn't work. The Url to the CGI script I put is: http://www2.shorebreak.com/cgi-bin/counter.pl What I get is a Error 500 cannot execute counter.pl... I also often get Contact system administrator, that's me and I am not being great help to myself... If anyone can help me with my problem please contact me directly if you can to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I will be incredibly greatful to anyone that can help me -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
