    I'm having some problems with a script...

    I'm trying to set up a voting script. Here is the link to the test one that I set up: http://djpetra.pcriot.com/ratem3_graph.html

    I keep getting an internal server error and I think it may be the fact that the cgi script I have set up points to /usr/bin/perl. Correct me if I'm wrong on this. If I'm wrong, can you see what I may be doing wrong? If I'm right, where should my script point to?



    Can ya help me out?



    Thanks!

    Re: I'm having some problems with a script...

    There are lots of free scripts around. I've tried many types, but not a voting script. If I can't get a script to work, I usually drop it and go to another. I am finding out that some scripts are free, because they only work on older versions of php or mysql or other such things.
    As far as cgi, you have to make sure the permissions are set properly. That's the main problem with cgi. Read the instructions carefully. Some scripts need some files in the "cgi-bin".
    If you had to edit anything, make sure you didn't accidentally remove something silly, like a slash, comma, semi colon, quotes, or whatever.
    Check those out.

    I just went to your site. (I couldn't get there before I wrote this) Your code is showing up. I think you removed some punctuation.

    Thirty years ago I was young and foolish.
    Now, I'm just young.

    The cgi files are in the cgi bin. do you know what the path is for X10's Perl bin is?
    Edit:
    Nevermind, I found it. It's /usr/bin/perl. It must be something else that's wrong...
