http://www.diatone.net/perldesk/ - I set up everything like it says EXACTLY in the INSTALL readme. All scripts to 755, change the dbname, dbusername, and dbpass to match what i imput into adding a database in mysql throgh cpanel, yet still, when I try to access http://www.diatone.net/perldesk/admin/admin.pl - it gives me an internal server error. It's driving me insane. Does anyone know how to get this working? I set the perl path correct also, and installed DBI and DBD:mysql through WHM.

And you uploaded them in ASCII mode?

You should try to post at http://www.perldesk.com/forums

You could also run the script at command line and see what error it gives you.

Yeah it's an extremely well know issue with Perl (*).
Here's the content of a script we offer on our servers, called blessperl:


#!/bin/sh

for fl in *.pl
do
perl -p -i -e 's/\r//g' $fl
done


It takes care of the extra \r...


But, yeah, like Jeremy pointed out, there's a support forum.

(*) Oddly enough, the issue IS well known, but the answer ain't. I have the feeling there will be references to this post for months :homer:

Hi ebo,

I replied to your email, and posted a reply on our forum..

You have edited your conf.pl file but you have deleted the single quote and semi-colon from the end of the $imgbase line. ';

I despise myself. I was so sure I had everything configured to! Thank you so so much!

You also might want to consider either turning off directory browsing on your server and/or turning on index.pl in your httpd.conf to be recognized as a directory index.
