Help installing a script...

sickkittens · 2004-01-25, 07:49 PM

I'm trying to install a simple dating script but I'm getting an error right from the beginning during installation. (I get a 500 Internal Error when I go to the setup area.)

This is a simple script and I'm guessing it's either a CHMOD issue or htaccess issue but I still can't figure it out.

Is there someoen here who would be able to give me a hand?

thanks,

Homer

What script?

MML should be around soon. He more then likely will be able to help you.

#1 did you upload the executable script files in ASCII mode?

#2 are your paths correct?

#3 is your path to perl correct

Triple check these .. they are the most common cause.

Check your server logs for the "actual" error.

I think I'm having a problem setting up my .htaccess file. I know my path to perl but I think I'm not setting up my htaccess file.

Disable your htaccess file and then see if the script works.

The CGI files should be chmod 755 and often database files or directories need to be chmod 777.

What Cleo said...

..and.. if your htaccess has " " around the Auth Name

try it without them

Just rename it. To re-enable just name it back to .htaccess

Did you set the variables in config.pl

Did you chmod all the files?

I CHMOD'ed all files.

When I try to open config.pl that is where I get the 500 error.

Cleo · 2004-01-25, 08:54 PM

You need to open config.pl in a text editor before you upload it to the server and set the variables in that file.

If you have a code editor that will open text files right on the server you can also do it that way.

This is not done through a web browser.

You go to config.pl in a web browser after you have edited it in a text editor.
