I'm trying to upload a v8 installation (for the first time to this particular ISP) and keep freezing on the "checking perl" settings of the "test network settings"
the ISP is EVOHOSTING,
I've uploaded other sites before, and am accustomed to tweaking the settings to make it work 100% but this one has got me a bit flumoxed (is that the right spelling??)
anyway.
Testing the network installs three perl files into the CGI directory
so the path is correct, date-time stamps are also correct
I've deleted the three files and they get re-created
it then tries to run the perl scripts and fails,
When I talk to the support staff he quotes this from the error-log
its easy to search the files for content-type and correct it, but he's telling me to insert the content-type, of course, I can't find something that isn't there.
I've looked for actinicPost.pl in all the cgi-bin folders, I've looked for the string "actinicPost" within the perl files, nothing.
does anyone know where I should be looking (and what for) and what the patch should be

This has nothing to do with the perl location (ie can't find the perl executor)
Your scripts are working fine it's just that your POST requests are getting blocked by our mod_security rules.
It's always the same rule, and here's what gets logged:

If you add a proper 'Content-Type' HTTP header for your POST requests then that should fix it.
Try it out and let us know how it goes.
