simardbrad Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 Everytime I try to use Cgi-bin it always gives me a 500 error. I created a folder in my www folder called cgi-bin and tried it there, i've tried to main cgi-bin foler in w:\ and no matter what script I have it always screws up! Please help me!

olajideolaolorun Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 First, Chill... a place for support is not a place for "Damn thing" Second, All CGI Files should be in W:/cgi-bin/ Third, is this a script which is made by someone else? or is it made by you. Try running the example file in the cgi-bin folder and see if that works. If it works, then we will know that we have to debug the problem from your script. Good Luck Quote Best Regards Olajide Olaolorun The Uniform Server Development Team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simardbrad Posted October 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 I deleted all of the pre-made cgi stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simardbrad Posted October 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 Ok, I re-downloaded and stole the cgi-bin files. I try to go to the directory and it says I am forbidden to access it. So I edit the htaccess file and then it gives me the same error as always: 500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olajideolaolorun Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 Download a new copy of the server and run that ones perl files... don't move them over... run it from the new copy's instalaltions and see if it works... Do NOT DELETE anything this time. Quote Best Regards Olajide Olaolorun The Uniform Server Development Team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simardbrad Posted November 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 Ok, well I'll get back to you some day cause I'm not re-installing the server again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olajideolaolorun Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 lol, why not . Its just delete and re-extract? Quote Best Regards Olajide Olaolorun The Uniform Server Development Team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nv1962 Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 Also, check the Apache logfile for clues on what and where things go awry, and post the results here - i.e., go here http://localhost/a-cgi/errorlog.cgi It's not very efficient to request help with basically "it doesn't work" as the problem descriptor...
