I have installed the script just like it says and I always get a 500 error. The same happens with my other perl scripts except a links.pl from Matts Scripts. I checked to make sure that the perl path is correct and the same as in the working cgi file. But none of my other scripts work. I need help fixing them.

Anytime that I've ran into a 500 error it seems to stem back to a permission setting. Make sure that all of the permissions are set correctly on your scripts.

Hope this helps!

The problem could also stem from improperly configured variables in the configuration file...double check the paths and url settings in the variables in the config file.

I set fileman.cgi to chmod 755 and the log file to 666
I also set the rest of the items using what the readme said.

Also in response to the other solution given, I host it on www.f2s.com and when I log in FTP I see /www.natecj.f2s.com/ as the folder with my pages.
They also mention a full path: /web/????????/www.natecj.f2s.com
I replaced the first type path with the full path and tried again, no luck there.
It still dosent work though.

You need to use the COMPLETE absolute path including the first forward slash in ALL the path variables in the config file.
