How would I go about getting help?

[peapod]

I have a cgi script that worked fine on the other domain server. Somehow, in the transfer, it no longer works. It's a web bbs rotating banner program. I do not expect this to be part of IH's support, so does anyone have any suggestions as to how to fix it? I am an artist, not a geek, so I am at a loss. :) The guy who sets up my cgi script forum can't seem to figure out what's wrong, either.

Thank you. :)

If it's a cgi script, just make sure that you are using the correct path to perl which is /usr/bin/perl and also make sure that the path to your script is setup correctly. IE /home/yourusername/public_html/cgi-bin/pathtoyourscript ......
Then you might need to chmod that file to 755

I will try that. I don't have high hopes, though. These things never seem to go smoothly for me. :)

...that Perl doesnt work as /usr/bin/perl but as /usr/local/bin/ and he tried it both ways, and it didn't work. He also tried the permissions the way you suggested, and that didn't work either.

If you have any other ideas, I wouldn't mind hearing them. :) If not, np. :)

Best Idea, is to use phpadsnew in your control panel :) CGI banner rotating scripts are server resource hogs especially on sites that have a lot of traffic.

Also, believe me the path of perl is what I stated /usr/bin/perl . It is that way on 12 servers. Maybe if you told us what script you were using or showed us some errors you were getting that would help.

Thanks, Steven. But it's working now. :) I don't know what he did, but he fixed it. :)
