Hi all,<br /><br />I recently moved my website to totalchoicehosting.<br />I had a cgi script working at my old site, so I moved all of the files into the matching folders here on the new server, and it returns with an internal server error 500.<br />It is just a cgi script to process a web form. On the old server, the form was submitted to: cgi-bin/test.cgi.<br />It worked fine there.<br />Do I have to do something different here on this server?<br />I've also tried the path: <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.mysite.com/cgi-bin/test.cgi">www.mysite.com/cgi-bin/test.cgi</a><!-- w --> - no luck.<br />Please help me out, I had a guy originally set this up for me and I don't know much about web hosts or scripts.<br />Thanks for any advise.<br /><br />matt<!--content-->

Welcome to the forums Matt<br /><br />Did you upload the cgi file in ASCII mode versus Binary? Are the permissions set to 755 to allow the script to be executed as Don says.<br /><br />If the answer to both is YES, please open a ticket with the help desk and ask them to take a look.<!--content-->
