Hi there!
I'm desparately looking for help. Whenever I try to execute any of the links cgi's (including admin), I get an error500 only.

On the other hand, when I check any of the scripts via my ISP cgi-output viewer I get the fully translated html-page, even the CSS-formating works. Only error of course is "Please enter one or more keywords." with search.cgi, for example.

Has anyone an idea of what might be wrong?
Thanks a lot,
Denis

Most likely your permissions are not set correctly. Remember that you need to change the permission of *.cgi files to 755 (rwxr-xr-x).

Also, your Perl Path (first line of the file) could be incorrect.

For dealing with chmod permissions, CuteFtp is the best.

Thanks, Eliot.
Can you advise me a good program (some freeware) that I could use for changing chmod-permissions? I used to use ws_ftp light, but one can't even check actual permissions of a file or folder as it shows last set permissions only, not the actual ones.

Thanks for any hints,
Denis

Thanks, indeed CuteFTP is much better than WS_FTP. Just one more request:
When I set data & backup directories - as I was advised before - to chmod 0666 I can't even access by any FTP program. Can the script? Or is it a wrong setting?

Denis

That is the correct permission setting for the directory and files. That is odd that you cannot access the files and directory via FTP.

I use AceXFTP, which allows me to see all directories and files, including hidden directories and files. (It is much better than CuteFTP or any FTP on the market.)

Thanks Elliot.
Do you know this error message and how to solve the problem?

Error including libraries: Can't modify subroutine entry in scalar assignment at /home/pages/eurabel.de/mopedfahrer/cgi-bin/links2/admin/site_html.pl line 50, near "'!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/strict.dtd"';"

Thanks, Denis
