I keep receiving a "Server error" when I run my script. What is wrong?
SUMMARY
There could be many things wrong.
DETAILED SOLUTION
Animus does not provide free support for cgi script debugging.
You can use the following method to debug most cgi scripts.
Telnet to the server and try to run the script from the
command line.
- If you are unable to do so, then the script might not have
the correct permissions. You can see our FAQ on script permissions
to help you with that problem. It might also be possible that the
top line of your script does not contain the correct location of
perl. If it is a perl script use " #!/usr/local/bin/perl ".
- If you receive errors, this usually means there is a problem with
the script. You should be able to solve the problem based on the
error message that you receive.
- If the script runs correctly from the commandline, but not from
the web server, then the problem usually means the web server is
not receiving the proper header. The VERY first thing that should
be output by the cgi script is the proper header. If the script
is outputing html, then the header should be
"Content-type: text/html\n\n". If this is incorrect, then the web
server will generate an error.
If the problem is still unresolved, you can call Animus. We will have
to charge you, however, unless the problem is our fault.
