    CGI Wrap problem

    I have just started looking at loging-in to give discounts to customers, but when testing it came back with this error. I have looked on the knowledge base and read the info about Cobalt servers as my site is on a Cobalt server, but as far as I can see everything is correct.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    HTML Code:
    CGIWrap Error: Script Execution Failed 
    CGIWrap encountered an error while attempting to execute this script: 
    
    Error Message: Exec format error 
    Error Number: 8 
    This message usually indicates there is a problem with the script itself. Often this indicates either that the #! line of the script is incorrect, or the script was uploaded in binary mode instead of ascii mode. Check to make sure that the script does not have control-M's at the end of every line. That will prevent it from executing. An easy fix that takes care of this most of the time is to put '#!/.../perl --' instead of '#!/.../perl' on the first line of the script. This is typically a problem if the script was edited or uploaded from a DOS/Windows/Macintosh station to a unix based server. 
    If you are not the owner of this script, please forward this error and the URL that caused it to the script owner. That is often the component in the URL right after /cgiwrap/.

    It's odd that your scripts work normally and it's only when trying to log in that you get this error. I suggest you try going to 'Help | Troubleshooting | Web Site Purge & Refresh' first (note that if you have any customised perl scripts, you will have to re-apply the customisations after the site has refreshed and then re-upload your site).
