Internal Server Error
Hi,

I am trying to install Dbman and I am running into a problem. Attached to the end of this post is the message that I am getting. I have put all of the Dbman files into the cgi-bin and I have set $db_dir_url = "http://www.forefront.ca/cgi-bin"; and I have set #!/usr/bin/perl as my path to perl (does the # at the start of that line make it a comment ?) and I set $db_script_path = "/magma/users/u20/foreweb/public_html/cgi-bin";

Now when I go to run it I get :

Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

Premature end of script headers: /magma/users/u20/foreweb/public_html/cgi-bin/db.cgi


Thanks in advance...Tom

Hi Tom,

500 server errors are 99.9% of the time caused by:

1. Uploaded scripts in BINARY mode. Make sure you ftp all the files over in ASCII mode.

2. Path to perl is wrong, make sure the first line of db.cgi goes to perl version 5.

Hope that helps,

Alex
