I'm trying to make a file upload script on my server, and I think I have done everything, even though I must have overlooked something completely obvious.

Whenever I try to run the script from a form, I either get:
Quote:
Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, ----------------- and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

if I set the form action as "/cgi-bin/upload.cgi"

or
Quote:
Not Found

The requested URL /upload.cgi was not found on this server.

if I set the form action as "upload.cgi"


Can someone perhaps tell me what I'm doing wrong, and don't be too hard on me if I'm a complete noob. Rolling Eyes

If I have /cgi-bin/upload.cgi as the form action:
Quote:
[Mon Apr 10 13:06:33 2006] [error] [client 192.168.1.1] C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/cgi-bin/upload.cgi is not executable; ensure interpreted scripts have "#!" first line, referer: http://------------------/file_upload.html
[Mon Apr 10 13:06:33 2006] [error] [client 192.168.1.1] (9)Bad file descriptor: don't know how to spawn child process: C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/cgi-bin/upload.cgi, referer: http://------------------/file_upload.html

The script definitely starts off with #!, the first line is:
Code:
  #!C:/perl -w
or am I doing something wrong there?

and if I just have the script name, so it looks in the root directory:
Quote:

Did you try
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ C:/perl/bin/

Did you try to reinstall perl ?
