Title: General Help: How to troubleshoot the configuration errors
How you can troubleshoot for the mistakes using telnet.

If you get the "Error 500 - Configuration Error" message when executing a script, try to troubleshoot for the errors yourself. An Error 500 usually indicates:

- File or folder not chmoded properly.
- Corrupted script.

If you have telnet access to the server, please follow these steps:

1) Login

2) Change directory to the location of the script
E.g. cd /usr/username/www/cgi-bin/myfolder

3) Run the script
E.g. perl myscript.cgi OR
perl -wc myscript.cgi (to see if the script is broken)

Then see what the error messages are.
