The Internal Server Error number and message itself can be really
helpful in troubleshooting. But without that information, a couple of
thoughts:

1. are your scripts locate in the cgi-bin (usually /var/www/cgi-bin)? If
not, I *think* you have to configure Apache to run scripts outside of that
directory (somebody correct me if I'm wrong on this).

2. do your scripts have the proper permissions? Check the documentation
that came with them, but usually 755.

HTH,
