I was right it was the hosts fault. They fixed the problem and now it all works fine.

Thanks for the help all

Try a script that you *know* works in that .htaccess protected directory.

I'm no expert on UNIX and .htaccess, but the IndexIgnore line looks wrong. Surreally enough, an error in an .htaccess file will produce ISE500's on any script called under it.

this:
print "Content-type:text/html\n\n";
should be this:
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

note the space....
May not make a difference, but all my CGIs have that space.

have you checked your paths?

Maybe the shebang is wrong.

http://www.scriptsolutions.com has a script called perldiver that will track all the info you need to run perl properly.

And it really isn't odd for host not to help with cgi scripting -- if you don't know what you are doing, you should get help before blaming the host for helping you. Troubleshooting cgi scripts is way outside of their contract with you.

Also, make sure you are uploading your scripts in ASCII. If you upload in binary they won't work.

I hope this helps a bit,

Tried all that with no change. So I took my files and installed them on different server. They work fine. Called tech support and told them about the problem. They said sorry your on your own.

Needless to say I am getting a new hosting site asap.

Try uploading a new file to the server, the file could probably be corrupt as it sometimes happen and you have to chmod the directory/subdirectory to 755 where the file resides in most cases.
