I am having a problem with the links SQL install. I run it and they go to the link to my admin and I get a 500 internal server error message. What can I do. I have tried everything that I can think of. . .

Thanks in advance,

Lennie

Check the syntax of your admin.cgi script:



Also, double check that your paths are correct in the configuration files (PM modules) and that you have the correct path to Perl in the admin.cgi and that you have changed the permission of the admin.cgi script to 755.

Have you checked your error log? It will usually give you the cause of the 500 error.

I have double checked my paths and permissions. I am right now downloading my log file, my server doesn't provide a seperate error log. Once done, I will check that. While on the phone with tech suppor at my server, they told me that my path to perl is #!/usr/local/bin/perl, but I have been using this path #!/usr/bin/perl for all my other scripts that are running fine. Could this be the poblem? I will look through my site logs now.

Thanks,

Well the site log doesn't give an error explanation, only that it was error type 500. Back to the drawing board. . . Appreciate the help and suggestions. . . .

Yes...if you are using a "legacy" non-usable Perl path, then that most likely is causing your internal server error.

I just did a reinstall with my "correct" perl path and what the installer is doing is installing the non cgi files into my cgi-bin folder. I have used build url: http://www.assistantdirectors.com/Directory and build path /Directory which I recieved an error message. Directory (with no slash) which put the directory in my cgi-bin folder. and my server root path /. . ./. . ./Directory, which gives me an error message. Then the same without the preceding slash ie: . . ./. . . /Directory which just put the "Directory" folder 3 folders deep in my cgi-bin. . . . What to do, what to do? Am I missing something?

Thanks again. . .Lennie

Enter the FULL path not /../../Directory or /Directory or Directory - the full path!

That's what I did I just didn't want to post the full path here. With the preceding slash, I get an error message and without it builds the directory in my cgi-bin folder using the names of my root path as folder names burying "Directory" 3 folders deep in my cgi-bin folder. I hope I am being clear enough. Thanks for your responses!
