Here's what my modified code looks like right now, I've taken anything out that I thought might cause trouble with the server, and just did some basic prints. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------- #!/usr/bin/perl
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; print "<HTML>\n"; print "<HEAD>\n"; print "<TITLE>Perl Test Page</TITLE>\n"; print "</HEAD>\n"; print "<BODY>\n"; print "Perl Test Page\n"; print "</BODY>\n"; print "</HTML>\n"; ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------- the error log on the web server spits out this line every time I try to access my script via a browser 63.201.89.246 - - [11/Feb/2003:00:42:48 -0600] "GET /cgi-bin/schedule.pl HTTP/1.1" 500 546 I don't know why I'm getting a 500 error since everything seems okay...the perms are set to 755 on my file, and my isp says that the cgi-bin is executable (I can also run other cgi scripts there without a problem). does anyone have any other suggestions? this is driving me nuts :) "Dan Muey" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]. com... > > > Thanks George, I thought that was something I had in earlier > that I had accidentally deleted...I took your advice though > and stuck that html header in there after the shebang and > just before I printed out any html.

What does your "html header" look like? If it runs fine from the comand line but not in a browser then you do not have A proper header, the rror log probably says sopmething like "Malformed header form script" Use the content type bit I have above, exaclty as I have it ( ie double quotes not single ) Or use the CGI module to do it. Whatever the case you either don't have That header or it wrong. > permissions seem setup correctly. Please let me know if any > of you have any other hints.
