Hello everyone,

I'm trying to run Jacqueline Landman Gay's Fiction Search CGI example on my iBook. I think I've set the correct file permissions for the files in the CGI bin; everything is read-write. But when I try to do a search in my browser, it loads for a very long time and then I get the following internal server error (no. 500):

Assuming the scripts are typed in correctly, I'd check the following:

Permissions: You need Execute permission set on the script files, not just Read-Write. I'm not sure if you can do this from the Finder, but you can do it from the Terminal by typing the ollowing:

   chmod 755 <filename>

Failing that, you should check that you have Unix style line endings in the script file. One way to ensure this is to put the script contents in a Rev field, and then export the contents to a file using the "binfile" url type. Something like this:

  put field "cgi" into url ("binfile:" & <filename>)

These are the two things that usually catch me out.

Cheers
Dave
