Below are solutions to some of the more common CGI script problems, in question and answer format.
When I activate my CGI program, I get back a page that says "Internal Server Error. The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request."
This is generally caused by a problem within the script. Either wrong paths, or user configuration.
I am being told "File Not Found", "No Such File or Directory".
Upload your Perl or CGI script in ASCII mode, not binary mode.
