RE: RE: First Script (Ozymandias: Instructions)

[Ozymandias]

Your provider might have to do it.

If you can log in using a shell account, do so. Go to the directory where the script is located, and execute the command (assuming the filename is script.pl) chmod 755 script.pl And that's all you have to do. If you can't do that, then your provider will have to explain how to do it.

Also, make sure your script is in the CGI directory for the site. Your provider will tell you where that is.

I really appreciate all the help and patience everyone has been throwing my way.
If you look at the past messages, I was unable to get my script ot work and before that was due to me not giving access to the file. Now I am getting a 500 (Server error) problem.

#!/usr/bin/perl

is the correct directory (i checked with my system administrator) so i'm not sure where I'm going wrong. Again, I appreciate help from everyone willing to help a new guy out. Thanks a lot.
