script to a web-accessible directory (e.g., /home/username/example.com/cgi-bin). You don't have to put your CGI scripts in a cgi-bin directory, as CGI scripts can run from any directory within your domain on DreamHost.

So i created cgi-bin. if anyone https://help.dreamhost.com/hc/en-us/articles/217297307-CGI-overview could tell me if this is right or why i keep getting the error that would be great. even better if someone could give me a script that works with dreamhost i placed this script #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use CGI ":all"; print header(), start_html(), "Hello World", end_html(); into a notepad document and saved it as hello.cgi then uploaded it to nicktenhulzen.com/cgi-bin using https://discussion.dreamhost.com/thread-50318.html smartftp in acsII mode and i get the same server error. i've set the chmod to 755 or 777. so maybe the problem isnt just my uplaod script. here is the script i edited and below it is how it came # START USER EDITS # absolute path to folder files will be uploaded to. # WINDOWS users, your path would like something like : images\\uploads # UNIX users, your path would like something like : /home/www/images/uploads # do not end the path with any slashes and if you're on a UNIX serv, make sure # you CHMOD each folder in the path to 777 $dir = "/uploads"; #$dir = "/uploads"; # absolute URL to folder files will be uploaded to $folder = "/uploads"; # maximum file size allowed (kilo bytes) $max = 100000000000; # for security reasons, enter your domain name. # this is so uploads may only occur from your domain # enter any part of your domain name, or leave this # blank if you don't mind other web sites using your copy $domain = "http://www.nicktenhulzen.com"; # if a file

I've set up a couple of CGI scripts that I call from one of my pages, but it always returns a message saying 'Internal Server Error'. It doesn't actually seem to do anything. What do I do? A CGI is a program or script that interfaces with the web server in order to provide some sort of extra functionality to a web site. Some CGIs provide counters or guestbooks, while internal server error some of the more ambitious ones provide feature-rich bulletin boards or search engines for your site's visitors. CGI is one of the most powerful tools you can use to create a professional, dynamic web experience for your target audience. One very common problem when setting up a CGI is the error message 'Internal Server Error'. This is a generic message meaning that somewhere along the line, the script or program being run could not successfully complete the task. For Perl scripts (the most common way to write CGIs), this can be one of a few things: Often, scripts edited on Macs or Windows-based PCs will contain carriage return characters, which the Perl executable does not deal well with. Also, any syntax error or mistake in the program's code which does not allow it to execute properly will result in this error. Debugging CGIs The best way to debug any CGI is to run it from a command line by using telnet to log onto the server, changing into the directory which the CGI resides in, and running it. For example, typing this: ./cgi_name.cgi ...or... perl scriptname.cgi (only with Perl scripts) ...will run the CGI and return whatever is meant to be sent to the user's web browser (usually a messy glob of HTML tags). If you run a Perl script which is unable to be interpreted successfully, you

Well, I tooled and toiled and I found an answer that has yielded a big boost. If the next 5 to 7 days go as well as the last 48 hours, I might be willing to say that DreamHost is a viable concrete hosting option. Now on to the goodies.. In the Dreamhost panel, create or edit the domain you will be hosting your site on. Make sure that both PHP and FastCGI are enabled for this domain. Install concrete as you normally would for Dreamhost (expand it into the domain directory, and follow the typical instructions). Once complete, cd into your site directory and do the following. mkdir cgi-bin touch cgi-bin/dispatch.fcgi chmod 744 cgi-bin/dispatch.fcgi Now, with your favorite editor, edit cgi-bin/dispatch.fcgi and give it the following contents: #!/bin/sh export PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN=2 exec /dh/cgi-system/php5.cgi $* Next, create or edit .htaccess in the root folder of your concrete installation and give it these contents: Options +ExecCGI AddHandler fastcgi-script fcg fcgi fpl AddHandler php5-fastcgi .php Action php5-fastcgi /cgi-bin/dispatch.fcgi
