Hi. I've moved your thread for you, as it was in the Links2, and not LinksSQL forum :)

Regarding your problem, it could be one of many problems. The main ones are;

1) The CHMOD is set to 755 on the script, and NOT 777 on the /cgi-bin folder (can cause security problems on some server, and give 500 IS Errors).

2) The path to Perl is not correct. Double check with your host. Its normally something like;


#!/usr/bin/perl
or
#!/usr/local/bin/perl

or on some Windows servers;

#!c:/bin/perl/perl.exe

3) You uploaded the install.cgi file in binary mode, and not ASCII, as it is meant to.

I'm not sure which, if any, of the above are correct in your case. Just throwing a few suggestions your way :)

Cheers
