I have tried almost everything to get the antibot to work. Nothing. I've tried every permission, nothing. Here is what I have done: cgi-bin (CHMOD 755) | - config.py - config.pyc - parseidat.py - perlform.cgi - perlreply.cgi - png.py - png.pyc - pythonform.cgi - pythonreply.cgi - templates | - template1 httpdocs | - antibot | - data (includes all .png, .dat and back up) Put in the proper paths in config.py, fired up (through a browser) parseidat.py, it hangs for a minute, and then the always lovely "500 Internal Server Error." Move onto the perlform.cgi, a blank screen is received and the browser source shows nothing written (no html code at all). Perlreply.cgi either gives the beautiful "500 Internal Server Error" or just writes "Wrong!" (from the script). I am completely baffled and cannot figure this out for anything. I thank you for your speedy help in advance. - WBO- Back to top haris Site Admin Joined: 22 Aug 2002 Posts: 40 Posted: Thu Oct 09, 2003 8:09 pm    Post subject: Hello, Parseidat is not supposed to be run from the browser, just from the shell. Did you change permissions on the perlform.cgi script to 755? Also what about the path to the python interpreter? Have you changed the first line to point to the correct location on your system? You are not supposed to run perlreply.cgi directly, perlform.cgi should call it after running. If you get internal server errors please send me the error_log file so that I can see what was the reason. Also please let me know which platform (Operating system) you are using.

All tect files were uploaded as ASCII. All png files were uploaded as automatic. Please let me know what you suggest, unfortunately I do not have access to the error log at this time.

In order to troubleshoot this please use the shell. Go to the antibot directory and run the following command: ./png.py Once you run this please send me the output, or the error message you get. If you do not have shell access let me know and we will find another way around this.

Thank you Back to top haris Site Admin Joined: 22 Aug 2002 Posts: 40 Posted: Thu Jan 29, 2004 7:19 am    Post subject: Hi, Could you run the png.py script from the shell (not from the browser) and let me know what you get as the output? Thanks, Haris Back to top Guest Guest Posted: Thu Jan 29, 2004 11:32 am    Post subject: How do I execute (run)... Hi Haris, Thanks for getting back. I can login using ssh, cd to the directory... but I don't know how to execute the file. bash is the interpreter... Thank you Brian Back to top haris Site Admin Joined: 22 Aug 2002 Posts: 40 Posted: Thu Jan 29, 2004 11:51 am    Post subject: Brian Go to the directory that contains the png.py file. To make sure its there execute an ls command and see if it appears in the file listings. Then to execute it type ./png.py In other words here are all the necessary commands: cd /path/to/antibot ls ./png.py After you execute ./png.py you should get some output. Please let me know what is the output you get.

The only thing I can suggest is to give me temporary access to your server so I can take a closer look.
