Hi,
I moved my server from NT to UNIX and I keep getting 'Internal Server Error' message. Although I changed debug variable to 1 I still get the same message. Please help me.
Thanks

Here are the first things to look for:

Is your path to Perl correct in the first line of db.cgi?

Did up upload all files in ASCII mode?

Have you set the permissions correctly?

Here's what to do:

Recheck the path to Perl.

Delete the files on your server.

Upload all files again, making *absolutely certain* that all files are uploaded in ASCII mode.

Set the permissions.

If you're still having problems, come back and we'll see what we can figure out.

Hi,
I uploaded the file again in ascii mode after I had delted the all related files, but it seems the same. The path on the first line of db.cgi, should it be sth like /usr/bin/perl or the directory cgi file is actually located in?

Thanks

The first line of db.cgi should something like

/usr/bin/perl

It is where the Perl interpreter is on your system. You may need to ask your sysadmin about the path to Perl.

Have you changed the

$db_script_path

in the db.cgi file? It should say

$db_script_path = ".";

What changes did you make to the script before you switched servers?

It may be a good idea to upload the demo script first to your new server and check that out before putting your database in. It makes it easier to figure out where the problems are.
