I'm installing a mailing list prorgram for a website that is in development and the software is from the CGI-Factory - http://www.cgi-factory.com/maillist/index.shtml

I've installed it correctly, so i think. Since the DNS on the domain hasn't propogated yet, I'm acessing all the files via the IP address. So, the IP address to the website is: http://216.127.70.91/~admin52/

The files are located in the cgi-bin, http://216.127.70.91/~admin52/cgi-bin/maillist/

I'm trying to get http://216.127.70.91/~admin52/subscribe.html to work - but i'm getting a 500 error. Does anyone know the problem? I've chmoded all files to 755...

Thanks in advance!
Darren

If it's trying to send mail in the subscription process and the domain hasn't propogated yet that could possibly be the problem.

OR

Maybe you don't have the correct path to send mail set in it's configuration file?

HiHi~ :angel:

I think is the script or the installation problem!
I tried to subscribe but it gave me a 500 Internal Server Error... better check the error logs and see what's wrong...

I don't think your domain name has anything to do with the script... :(

Make sure the first line of each CGI file contains the correct path to Perl, make sure you uploaded everything in ASCII mode, make sure nothing needs to be CHMODded to 666 instead of 755, and as a last resort, you might want to try CHMODding the /maillist/ directory to 777.
