Support- Error 500

The problem: After having uploaded everything correctly, the weblog.pl/cgi file is unaccessible, or I get a Error 500 page.


How to solve it: There could be many reasons behind this, though primarily it may have to do with your host. Verify firstly that you have done the following:

  • That your host does support Perl/CGI
  • CHMOD'ed your folder and the files to 755
  • Uploaded every file as is
  • Not omitted/deleted a ; (semicolon) when you altered weblog-config.pl
  • Inquire your host's Perl server location. Usually it is found under /usr/bin/perl but sometimes this is not the case, at which time you should alter the first line of each script (#!/usr/bin/perl accordingly.)
