There seem to be a lot of people around here who are very helpful with this subject. And, for a while now, I have been searching for a problem in a calendar I put up on one of my sites. If anyone can help with this, I would appreciate it greatly!

The program is WebCal. It worked up until the time I moved servers at the end of August. So, since then I have spent my "free" time (about two hours total) :D looking for the problem. I thought that I had altered everything I needed to alter, but I guess I didn't. So, if anyone has any tips or pointers or could look at it, I would appreciate it.

The url is http://www.wellingtonohio.net/events/webcal.pl

Right now it just shows the code for the calendar. I don't know what the problem is, but I think it is something simple that I'm overlooking.

Thanks!

Right now I'm getting a very, very nasty recursive call to webcal.pl (so the URL when I killed it looked like this: http://www.wellingtonohio.net/events/webcal.pl/webcal.pl/webcal.pl/webcal.pl/webcal.pl/webcal.pl/webcal.pl/webcal.pl/webcal.pl/webcal.pl/webcal.pl/webcal.pl/webcal.pl/webcal.pl/webcal.pl/webcal.pl). If you're getting code instead of the page itself, you might need to add (or have your host add) a handler for .pl, and make sure that CGIs are executable outside the /cgi-bin.

Thanks Annette!

I thought it was something simple that I was overlooking. How dumb of me not to realize the problem :blush:. I just moved it until I get everything else set up. It works, that is what matters right now!

Thanks again!
