CGI issue
We relocated our server to a new location. All my links work fine, but I cannot get into the admin page or anything that is in the cgi. The path to perl is right, all .cgi file are 755 and so are the directories. I even tried changing to 777 and keep getting a 500 error. Any ideas how to fix this? Thank you in advance.

Hi,

are you asked for your admin/password to get into the admin.cgi area? If not, then it may be you need to edit your .htaccess file to reflect the new full path to the admin folder.

Otherwise, I would suggest putting the folder CHMOD back to 755, and then trying again to see if it work.

Also, do you have an error log? If not, then you may be able to see some kind of errors with SSH/Telnet, with something like;

Code:
cd full/path/to/admin/
perl admin.cgi

...and see if that prints out the HTML (for the frames), or gives you an error message.

Hope that helps.

Cheers
