No Cpanel, no site

[t0nymel]

Off to a bad start - signed up yesterday. Got to a point where I could see my home page but errors with other pages.
Now today I cannot access cpanel and the homepage gives an index listing just as if there was no index.* file. I have probably put things in the wrong directory, I guess, and I checked permissions last night for the other pages (500 error).

Could someone let me know what information I need to add here?

I'm more inclined to PM if possible, but anyway of resolving this would suffice.

All files that you want to be public should go in the public_html folder, I see the directory listing and there isn't an index.html or index.php file in there so that is why it's showing.

I did put an index.cgi there yesterday and it was fine. I have managed to get into cpanel now and I see it has mysteriously moved to a subdirectory. Now I have corrected that, I am getting 500 error with another .cgi file that only contains this:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use CGI;
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "Hello";

Incredible, especially as I have set permissions on everything to 755.
Something else I have forgotten to do?

Is CGI.pm installed on these servers? because the use CGI might be your problem...

 

[t0nymel]

Yes, CGI.pm must be installed because my home index.cgi works ok and that has use CGI; at the top and also uses CGI->param which is in CGI.pm

My index.cgi calls another .cgi file and that throws up a 500 error. Now these files have been working for ages on another webhost so I'm not configuring something quite right. I have set permissions to 755 (that would have caused a 500 error if wrong).

What I have not confirmed is whether or not index.cgi is the only .cgi file you can run from the root directory and if all other .cgi files must run in a dedicated subdirectory (cgi-bin ?) or not.

Don't know, still waiting for answers.

Um, if you're busy, skip me.
I try to log into my CPanel or whatever it is, at tfn.exofire.net, and it my credentials are invalid. I try going to exofire.net and it says it is under contruction as the realm name to log in. ...Eh...? I'm clueless about whether I've done something wrong or not.

Your site works you need to modify it to your liking. By removing the current index.html and replacing it with your site.


As for the creator of this thread try renaming your .htaccess files to .htaccess.bk and see if that works.

 

[t0nymel]

Great idea, but no luck. I did notice no +ExecCGI Options in the .htaccess but still no luck, but that is a great suggestion - must be there somewhere, thanks a lot.

I expected the server to be set up for CGI already.

I added the +ExecCGI to your virtual host, see if that helps.
