I have uploaded this via Cute and then just did it in the zip and unzipped via telnet to amke sure it was in ascii. I have modified the cfg file to point to the right url and paths but sill keep getting internal server error. I'm on Unix/apache..I modified via telnet so I didn't have to upload at all.
? How do I find the path to perl and the version via telnet..?
Any suggestions would be helpful.
Thank You

I would unzip the package on your home computer and upload it. I don't know if it makes a difference, but I've never done it your way. It's easy enough in CuteFTP to upload everything in ASCII mode.

To find the path to Perl in a telnet shell, use

which perl

and it will give you the path. I'm not sure how to get the version number.

ok I redone it and now I get this

any ideas..the html.pl is in there

I just don't know. My expertise is with coding. I don't know the rest of this stuff. Cross your fingers that someone else will be able to give you an idea.

The only thing I would do is upload the html.pl file again. (That's how I do things as a rule. Even if it didn't work before, maybe this time it will. )

You didn't, by any chance, change the $db_script_path variable in the db.cgi script, did you?

------------------
JPD

Nope but thought about it thnx *crossing fingers* I'll try the reupload

If the re-upload doesn't work, copy the line that defines

$db_script_url

in the db.cgi script and the line from default.cfg that mentions

html.pl

into your next message. That's gotta be the problem.

I went and deleted the "." in the db.cgi and put the full path to the script dir..then deleted the full paths in front of the "/db.cgi"; etc... I(I found the"." in the db.cgi was looking for a directory ./usr/ which don't exist.) ran the db.cgi again and this is what I got..

I had commented# the html.pl in the upper part and bottom in hopes to track the problem down.. I went in and uncommented them and wala! now I get a demo sign on screen..I didn't change the fields until I was sure I could get it running..no i need to go in a set up the cfg file..Thank You so much hopefully I won't bother you again! we will see *crossing fingers*
