Hi there,
I've recently setup my hosting service and am wanting to try to use a perl/cgi chat site. Now I was having problems with the chatsite so I attempted to diagnose the issues I was having (mostly Internal Server Error 500) by starting at the beginning. I copied this test script from the net (very basic as I am not too familar with perl)
#!/home/[username]/perl
print "Hello, World!\n";
where [username] is my username - anghel. (This has been taken from the perl page in CPanel, it was formerlly /usr/bin/perl and not /home/[username]perl.
Running that script (with 755 permissions) still brings up I.S.E. 500 errors, both if it is in the native cgi bin file of the chat script (located in root/airuza/bin) as well as when it is in the cgi-bin folder.
My questions are these:
1) Am I doing something wrong with the way the script is coded or located, am I missing something?
2) Are there any specific requirements that I have missed to get perl/cgi scripts going, if so what are they? (i.e., must be located somewhere, must have specific modules installed etc)
