Check the path to the Perl shell, the CGI script extension, the path to CGI-BIN...

I have recently purchased a dedicated server Windows 2003 from Pipex I have set up IIS 6.0 installed Perl & CGI scripts.

My Network settings are attached every time i test or upload the site it give me this error below.

I need desperate help as actinic support says nothing they can do I paid £200 to Microsoft they say nothing they can do. You can see what errors i get on www.homemummylondon.co.uk

The test script failed to execute on the web server. The error could be caused by several things. Check the path to the Perl shell, the CGI script extension, the path to CGI-BIN, and the CGI-BIN URL. This error could also occur if your web site is out of disk space or your web server is not configured to accept POSTs to CGI scripts.

You help is appreciated.

You don't seem to have entered any FTP details in those screenshots.

The best way to show us your network settings is via Advanced / Network Setup / Export. This will give you a text file that you can paste the contents of into a Forum post. Make sure you obfuscate any passwords.

OK. I don't know Windows 2003 server so it's up to others to help. All the info they might need is now available.

Riya,

Do you have a copy of the Advanced Users Guide for v7? If so look on page 100. If you are not making any headway even after using that guide I would suggest raising a support ticket and sending in your NW settings file with usernames and passwords so that a member of the support team can look into it for you.
