Receiving many of these these errors when running debug.pl.

•The file does not exist
/cgi-bin/calendarscript/calendars.txt

Have set the $BASE_DIR line correctly.  Still getting errors.  Install was successful:

ftp> dir calendars.txt
200 PORT command successful
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for file list
-rwxrwxrwx   1 atucker  psacln         67 Jun  2 23:03 calendars.txt
226 Transfer complete.

Also getting 500 error when trying to run calendar_admin.pl

help?

thanks

** Receiving many of these these errors when running debug.pl.

I wouldn't think the debug should check for the existance of the exact same file mutilple times. I don't know what would cause it to.

** /cgi-bin/calendarscript/calendars.txt **

That path doesn't look correct for being on a web server. What *exactly* have you set the $BASE_DIR variabe to??

It's not the same message over and over again -- it throws that message once for each file that the debug.pl checks for.

Having said that, my provider has set my home directory as a virtual root; therefore, when I FTP to my account on my webserver, it dumps me at "/" and to get to my CGI directory, it's "/cgi-bin/".  My httpdocs folder is exactly that, "/httpdocs/".

So I made the installation in the folder "/cgi-bin/", and I can successfully browse to "http://www.domain.com/cgi-bin/" and it throws a 500 error, instead of a "file not found" error.  But debug.pl reports those files missing, and i can browse to that directory with my FTP client and visually verifiy that they exist.

Thus my boggle.

**  I can successfully browse to "http://www.domain.com/cgi-bin/" and it throws a 500 error **

That could be caused by as simple of incorrect file or directory permissions. It might also be generated if 'directory browsing' is turned off. Check with your host.

** when I FTP to my account on my webserver, it dumps me at "/" **

That doesn't mean that's what the file system's directory structure actually is. Check your host's CGI FAQs (or with their support) for what the absolute path to that directory is and use that as the value for the $BASE_DIR variable.
