Issue with gm.cgi
« Thread Started on Dec 31, 2009, 5:55pm »

Hello,

I was using GM version 1.3 (but have tried to see if the issue would resolve if upgraded to 1.8).

I'm a little noobish, and have used greymatter before and it worked just fine. I would use my user gm.cgi and it would allow me to login no problem.

Now I have tried to use Greymatter again and have entered the same URL for gm.cgi and it prompts me for my password. However, the page is not the same login page as before. It's just bunch of text and stuff like

"#!/usr/bin/perl

I'm trying to understand this concept of perl. It used to work for me before and I don't know if i used to have perl...(I'm actually confused to what it is). Do I have to upload perl on my ftp? Why did it work before and now it doesn't?

Thank you!
