CosmicDirectoriesLite problem

I can't get it set up

[IrishWeimGirl]

I've contacted CosmicScripts and my hosting company but haven't heard from anyone yet. I uploaded CDL up onto my site the way the documentation said to do it, but when I launch install.cgi, I get an internal server error. The file permissions were set the way they were supposed to be, so I'm not sure what's wrong. Any thoughts?

Duh! I forgot something important...it's a Red Hat Linux Apache server, version 2x

did you upload the scripts in ASCII (text) mode and not binary mode?

KevinADC: "did you upload the scripts in ASCII (text) mode and not binary mode?"

I used the file uploader that's built into the site's control panel, which doesn't give an option for choosing between ASCII and binary. Should I use an FTP program instead, perhaps?

It won't hurt to try. It's not working as is....

Have you tested the script locally to make sure theres no bugs in it?
Does it depend on any modules you dont have installed on your server etc?

Not yet, but I'll definitely give it a try :)
"Does it depend on any modules you dont have installed on your server etc?"
That I'm aware of, no, but I'll double-check the program's documentation.

I have just looked at the install file, you need the CGI::Carp module, and you need to upload the cosmic.pm file to the same directory as the install.cgi otherwise it cant find the module.

You can ask your host if CGI::Carp is installed, it should be, or you can check using a ready made script, like perldiver (1.1 is best) from scriptsoloutions.

If is not the modules that is a problem then it must be something else.
