Login but nothing is there!

Login but nothing is there!
I removed the -T from the fileman.cgi script because I was getting an Internal Server error. Now I can see the login screen, and login - but once I login, I just get a white screen. There is nothing there.

Please Help!
Thanks

I believe this is do the the fact I'm getting an "Internal Server Error" on the "../images/fileman.js" file. I guess what I need to know now, is what the correct CHMOD for this file would be? Unsure

Javascript files won't give you internal server errors.

I'd check your error log.

Shocked Well, when I type my password and advance to the next page (in Netscape)...It gives an HTTP 500 Internal Server Error; In IExplorer, I get a blank page. I looked in the code, and it is trying to pull the "/images/fileman.js" file. Also, if you try to type in that page ("/images/fileman.js") directly you get the same error; usually it gives you the option to open or save the file.

Is it within your cgi-bin?

Thats why you get a 500. Only cgi scripts can be viewed from within your cgi-bin

So you're saying that when I install this program, I am not supposed to put it in my cgi-bin folder? HUH? I have to put the fileman.cgi in the cgi-bin folder. So am I supposed to put the other files outside of the cgi-bin?

Thanks for your help

Hi,

Take a look at ConfigData.pm, make sure everything's correctly.

Everything looks correct to me. Here it is though, you can verify it for me.

{
'checkspace' => '0',
'cookie' => '1',
'password' => '**********',
'html_root_url' => 'http://www.vhbc.info/cgi-bin/images',
'reg_number' => undef,
'command_time_out' => '20',
'root_path' => '/mnt/web_a/d01/s26/a00082rk/cgi-bin',
'username' => '**********',
'template_root' => '/mnt/web_a/d01/s26/a00082rk/cgi-bin/private/templates',

};

Hi,

You should move the images folder outside cgi-bin, after that change the 'html_root_url' => 'http://www.vhbc.info/cgi-bin/images' to 'html_root_url' => 'http://www.vhbc.info/images',

SmileOK...I'll try that.

I just found out that my web host doesn't support ASP or JSP. Will this effect the script?

>>ASP or JSP<<

Shouldn't do. Fileman is perl.

I moved the images into my html directory and changed the 'html_root_url' to the new location. Still didn't work. Unsure

This is the current software installed on the server: Apache/1.3.20 (Unix) mod_perl/1.26 mod_ssl/2.8.4 OpenSSL/0.9.6a

Is there some software I need which isn't installed?

Sorry to be such a pain...Thanks for the help! Smile

I don't get an error message in IExplorer...All I get is a blank page. Originally in Netscape I got an HTTP 500. Since I moved the image folder into my HTML folder I know get this message in Netscape: "Fileman requires you to use a frames enabled browser.."

This issue has been resolved.

It was due to the fact that I was using free hosting, and it was putting banners in the html. Just thought people might like to know if they ever run into the same problem.

Thanks for all the help,
