CGI > Error 500

[DjMiX]

Hello
I've got a little problem, but it's really annoying. Everytime I run a CGI script, I get an error 500, any idea were this could come from ?

Thanks in advance

have u tested upon the script locally; are there any errors on this script ? and also u will need tocheck on the permissions on this script.

Try chmod to 755 instead of 777 - worked for me.

[DjMiX]

It does that for all the scripts.
I tried chmodding, doesn't arrange.

What permissions do you have on your cgi-bin directory itself? That needs to be 755. You could also try:

/scripts/enablefileprotect

You should also be checking for errors in:

/etc/httpd/logs/error_log
/etc/httpd/logs/suexec_log

in your script open it and look at the very top line
make sure your path to perl is correct

#!/usr/bin/perl OR /usr/local/bin/perl

to find out what path for sure..open up ssh and type
"which perl" (without the quotes of coarse)

If you're uploading these scripts from a Windows box, make sure they are uploaded in ASCII mode, not binary. The line endings are different between Windows & Linux and will cause errors when a script is executed.
