I am having a problem with the intsall. I checked the location to my perl5, and corrected the line, ftp'd the files up in a directory in my cgi-bin called mysqlmanager (to keep my cgi-bin cleaned up) and chmod to 755, and I get a 500 error, and it also creates a file: mysql.cgi.core in that directory. What did I do wrong? I deleted it all off the server (including the core dump) and checked everything again, and re-ftp'd (ascii mode) and still same thing. Any ideas?

I also did this:

mainfiber: {8} % perl -c mysql.cgi
syntax error in file mysql.cgi at line 16, next 2 tokens "use lib"
syntax error in file mysql.cgi at line 30, next 2 tokens "check_libraries("
syntax error in file mysql.cgi at line 34, next 2 tokens "} or "
syntax error in file mysql.cgi at line 43, next 2 tokens "my $in "
syntax error in file mysql.cgi at line 46, next 2 tokens "->"
syntax error in file mysql.cgi at line 47, next token "else"
mysql.cgi had compilation errors.
mainfiber: {9} % perl5 -c mysql.cgi
mysql.cgi syntax OK
mainfiber: {10} %

I do have perl 5.004 installed, and is running other scripts, and is located at /usr/bin/perl5, and the cgi-file is refering to it properly.

Try typing:

./mysql.cgi

and see what it prints out.

Cheers,

it prints out a bunch of HTML. I checked my permissions, set to 755, and in ascii mode. When i call the script through IE, it hesatates, then comes back to a 500 error.
