Most likely there is one of two solutions:
1. Check to make sure it is correctly chmoded
- One of the most commons errors, is the one that
occurs with chmod. The problem is often that users
forget to chmod, or they use the wrong commands. If
you have a setup in which the guestbook.pl is in the
cgi-bin directory and the rest of your documents are
in a guestbook directory, you would cd to
the correct directory and perform the following
commands:
$ chmod 777 guestbook/
$ chmod 777 guestbook/guestbook.html
$ chmod 777 guestbook/guestlog.html
$ chmod 744 guestbook/addguest.html
$ chmod 755 cgi-bin/guestbook.pl
The above '$' symbols represent your Unix prompt.
2. Make sure the paths are correct in the cgi
scripts - Make sure that in your variables for
the cgi scripts, the paths to the documents are
correct. If you are on a Unix system, you can take
the filename and type:
more filename
If it spits out the file, you probably have the
correct path. Do not use '~' in your path, instead
spell out each directory in the filepath.
