vraa Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 I've followed everything down to all the instructions as listed on Tobi and everyone elses respective site but when I drop the 14all.cgi script (after editing it to fit my nature) into my /cgi-bin/ directory I get this error message when trying to access the script. Internal Server ErrorThe server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. Please contact the server administrator, [no address given]and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error. More information about this error may be available in the server error log. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Apache/1.3.29 Server at vraa.gotdns.com Port 80 Any ideas on what's wrong? I checked google to see how I could enable CGI and it seems like it's enabled from everything I can see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearded Kirklander Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 I like using canned CGI scripts in web pages. The ones that come with the hosting sites, like Formmail.cgi. No java or other scripting needed. Just cool behind the scenes stuff. (Y) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearded Kirklander Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 Canned CGI scripts? Ones that are pre-written and provided to you for use by the web hosting company. Formmail.cgi is one that is widely used, for example. It is designed to email you feedback from forms on your page. I can't alter it, but I can use it as part of my account. Transparent to the visitors of my page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
