freakin http500 errors
hey guys,
before i dive in, just wanna confirm that i've read the threads, and tried the usual fixes - still can't seem to get it to work.

I can add categories, and links, but it hangs when I build.
As for permissioning - my provider doesn't use chmod, but a web-based permissioning system (apparently it's a security thing). So I can set permissions for the files in any directory as Read only, or Read-Write. They tell me that all files in the cgi directory can execute. And I can Mount a directory as read or read-write. So I've set everything to read-write (both file permissions and mounting). Can you have too much permission (i.e. Templates are the equivalent of chmod777 not 666)?

I've been able to get other cgi scripts to work with this set-up. Other than that, I can't figure out what the problem could be. Any help would be most appreciated.
Thanks.

What server are you on? RAQ?

How can I tell? I searched the support area at my host and it came up blank. I'm using XO (or Concentric), and they tell me they have:
• Server cluster architecture
• Sun Microsystems® Enterprise™ servers
• Network Appliance® fileservers
Does that help?

Hmm there's a good possibility that they are RAQ's then.

Try commenting out $nph++; in nph-build.cgi

#$nph++;

If it is just hanging then try running it from telnet.

ok, i tried that (found $nph++; in two places and added the # in front to rem), and still no build.

as for telnet - they're using a VDE shell that won't allow me to run from telnet. They only support a limited number of commands.

any other ideas?
