Hi all,
I have a sample CGI introduction script that I copied from a textbook (uhn.x10hosting.com/cgi-bin/cgitest2.cgi). It has 0755 permission and it's in /public_html/cgi-bin, yet I still get a 500 Internal Server error. Heck, even the scripts that I got from the CGI center from CPanel (like the randhtml one) don't work.
Edit: I forgot to mention that I tried the Simple CGI Wrapper, moved the cgi files to scgi-bin and it still doesn't work.
Thanks in advance for the help.
Here's the code for the CGITest2.cgi (though it's probably irrelevant)
#!/usr/bin/perl -wT
use strict;
my $time = localtime;
my $remote_id = $ENV{REMOTE_HOST} || $ENV{REMOTE_ADDR};
my $admin_email = $ENV{SERVER_ADMIN};
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print <<END_OF_PAGE;
