I have a site using smartsearch's cgi script. It was working fine for over a year until serveral weeks ago. Now when you do a search it gets an error.

I do not believe it is a hard problem since it was working fine and no changes were made. I'm guessing it is something simple, but I do not know cgi.

Here is a url to the error, http://www.datamine.info/cgi-bin/smartsearch/smartsearch.cgi.

I will pay someone for help.

Thanks and Best Regards,
Rodney

Try running it from shell, if you have access. Best way to spot the issue in a hurry. Don't have shell? Try adding this to the top, right under the PERL call:
$| = 1; use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);

Might offer a clue...

Thanks for the help, but I still cannot figure it out.

Are you interested in fixing it for a fee?

Best Regards,

Consider checking the path. Was there a server upgrade done (perhaps by your provider without your knowledge?)
