CGI Woes in Xampp

[ronwcrockett]

Just wondering if someone could look at this:

and let me know how I can fix these CGI scripts. or if this is the wrong board please point me in the right direction.

Thank You

I get a page with 3 menu items.

On the first menu when I try and click the submit button I get a 500 error.
On the first line of your cgi script, called the shebang line, the path to perl looks like this:
#!/perl/bin/perl

You should change this line to the real path of your perl executable maybe for windows it should be like this:
#!C:/perl/bin/perl.exe
or where ever you have the perl.exe file maybe here:
#!C:/xampp/xampp/perl/perl.exe

The second on submit an entry I get a 404 page not found error returned. This is a missing link when you click the submit button. Check the form submit button link.

The other item is a url entry facility to the guestbook I guess.
This has a permissions issue.
Set the directory and files to 755 on linux or on windows set them to writable, not readonly. In windows XP read only is usually the default.

Come back with actual error messages if you want more detailed answers.
