Hi,

This should be an error of the web server not from the intall.cgi. So, please check that your server has been installed perl already.

Did you update the path to Perl at the top of install.cgi?

You just open up install.cgi (in TextPad, WordPad or Editplugin, whatever you use), and change it to your path for perl.

For example, my local Perl machine has this;

#!C:/bin/Perl/perl.exe

Can you copy install.cgi to intall.pl. If it's working with install.pl, that means your server has not yet supported CGI program with .cgi extention. Then just enable that.

Hi,

Have you ever setup a perl script before? Try running sometihng *simple* to make sure that it works. Installing LinksSQL is a pretty hard task for a "test", as there are many issues that need to be taken into account. If its a fresh server, the chances are that its not setup right Tongue

I think now you should contact with your hosting provider for cgi/perl running because it is not default in Windows world.

Re: [Anbarasan] Please help me. In reply to
That means your server supports cgi and perl with .pl extension. Can you copy the gustbook.pl as gustbook.cgi to see if it is working?
