500 Internal Server Error

Hi, I keep trying to install these cgi or php scripts on my server and i keep getting the '500 Internal Server Error'

Can anyone help me figure out how to fix this problem?
Ive tried CHMOD the files to '755' and '777' and neither work. Ive also tried renaming the file ext to .pl

any suggestions?

try reinstalling cgi or php. That is how I fixed the same problem.

either that or your perl scripts have errors. I can't explain the PHP ones, but you get a 500 error when there's a problem with a Compiled language script (CGI/Perl, C++)

Check the first line of the PERL scripts. It should look something like:

#!/usr/bin/local/perl

At your shell prompt type:

which perl

The path returned by the 'which' command should be the same as that at the top of the file. If it isn't then change the top of the file to reflect the path returned by 'which'.

thats is the path I have, but i dont know where the command prompt is because Im a client on a server, it's not mine.

Where do I find it?

So I can't really reinstall teh php or cgi since it isn't my server.

could there possiablly be any other flaws?

Nope, I'd say it's that or permissions. Check with your host the path to the PERL executable.
