NPH-Verify Won't Work
Hi,

I searched for this problem, but only found internal server error posts. I don't get an internal server error when I try running nph-verify, browser simply gives me a "page cannot be displayed" error. All other scripts work except for verify. All chmod settings and paths are correct.

Server is Unix with perl 5005_03

I can telnet in and run the script, but it displays the following, and then after running for about 250 checks simply hangs.

Unable to load Parallel User Checker. System Error:

Checked 21 - Success (200). Message: OK 200
And so on until it simply hangs 200+ links further down.

I've been working on this problem for a week now, both the host and my tech guys have no idea why it simply won't work. Are there any modifications I can make to the script to make it work correctly?

Thanks in advance!

I suggest you find a new host if they can't get it to work......If they can't figure out a simple problem like a missing perl module then you are in trouble.

Can't locate HTTP/Request.pm

shell> perl -MCPAN -e 'install HTTP::Request'
