UBB.Developers Forums Community Development Programming Web Hosting little webhosting error problem

okay didn't know extactly where to put this, but it is about hosting so ill try to be clear as i can.

Okay couple days go i have this site i work on with a ubb, my problem is that if i wanna upload any other cgi file it get a Internal Server Error, even if i upload a fresh UBB or hello world cgi file. so i just said okay ill just leave it how it currently is. But now we move to a faster line since he got a new job at a different isp and is hosting there with a different box. But we are still receiving this same error. with any cgi file, weird thing is that if i move the current ubb we have set up it will work, but no new cgi or any other type of files.

So today i decided to take a look at the log file after i run the hello.cgi file supplied with the ubb. It showed:

[Sat Oct 12 20:52:31 2002] [error] [client *.*.*.*] File does not exist: /var/www/html/spacer.gif

so anyone know why the server is doing this, the server runs redhat 8 i'm sure with apache Apache/1.3.23 not sure what version of perl

ohh and yes i chmoded the files correctly, uploaded in acsii, perl path is correct
ohh and if this is hte wrong forum could someone kindly move it for me thnx.

never saw this out of curiosity, what was the problem(s)?

Do you have a shell access? when yes, you can check your perl path with which perl. To see the perl version type perl -v.
