Okay. I grabbed the active.txt file, and saved in my ubb directory as active.cgi. I CHMOD to 755 (even 777). I am still getting a 500 error. I changed the $digest to 3, and try calling it via SSI, and it still doesn't work. Am I missing something? I ran perl -c /cgi-bin/ubb/active.cgi and it reports the syntax in active.cgi is correct. What did I do wrong? SSI is working fine, as is the forums themselves.
