I can't get my script to run

[Infinity]

I finally got all of the required scripts to run except for one
http://gquest.net/scgi-bin/manager.cgi
I'm using this instead of genesis (which will not work in this scgi-bin).
Any ideas of what's wrong? The permission is 755, like the others, but get's an error for some reason :(

Try looking at the error log in your CPanel .... if you don't understand what it says, post it here, and maybe I can help! :)

Here's the error on the log:
[Sat Aug 11 19:48:46 2001] [error] [client 65.65.211.31] File does not exist: /home/mistysky/public_html/500.shtml

I can get it to sign people up here:
http://www.gquest.net/scgi-bin/signup.cgi
and it makes their website (you can try it)...then it messes up when letting you log into your account.

I can't imagine what the problem is!

Try using the login script CHOMDed as 777... if that's the problem, try moving the script to the CGI-BIN

That is a tough one. When you get a 500 error in the scgi-bin it doesn't report a reason for the error. I'd suggest double checking permissions, but I'm not sure what else it could be.

from your error log I can tell that file not found error was not caused by your script directly. When the server encountered a 500 error, it tried to redirect you to 500.shtml, which I don't think you have created yet. so it gave "file doesn't exist" error.

I finally got it to work :)
I changed it to .pl instead of the .cgi ext....
Good for future reference.

Thanks for letting me know. That is a nice easy fix for future cases.
