while i was changing the templates and went to make a new entry the gm.cgi url stopped working. it started redirecting to the forum index on my server which always happens with a broken link. i was wondering if i had done something random to make this happen??
i'm using gm 1.7.4 windows xp OS perl vers 5.8.8
thaanks ;D

Can you post an example link? Are you going directly to gm.cgi? What path are you expecting to work? Nothing you changed in the templates would stop www.test.com/cgi-bin/gm.cgi from working, but if you link to it from your website, then that url may have been altered by your template changes.

I recently started having this issue out of the blue. Server generates 500 Internal Server Error plus: _________________________________________________________________________ The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, xxxxxxxxxxxx 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.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. ________________________________________________________________
I've made no changes to templates or permissions and haven't made a post in a while. My page functions OK but the gm.cgi admin page will not display.
Apache/2.0.46 (Red Hat) FrontPage/5.0.2.2634 mod_ssl/2.0.46 OpenSSL/0.9.7a
Thanks

Hmm, weird. I would suggest checking the file permissions for gm.cgi. Otherwise, you can re-download the gm.cgi file for your version at one of the download sites at the top of the forum. Try reinstalling just that file and see if that helps.
Otherwise, if you haven't changed anything recently, I would suspect your webhost has changed something recently. That error page you are seeing is simply the default apache (web server) error page, something we can't control.

I upgraded to 1.74 and I'm still getting the same error message however I did get this from the log file:
Premature end of script headers: gm.cgi
Permissions are set to 755. Thanks

I wonder if you webhost is wiping out the field parameters (the request data) because that premature end of headers happens when gm.cgi doesn't get any data to work on. In the future it will default to showing the Menu screen, but it wouldn't fix your issue, just make it prettier.

Well this is weird? I went in and checked my perl paths and either the webhost has changed the path since I installed and last ran gm.cgi or someone has changed the path statement in the script! Probably this lame web host made changes and didn't notify me. Anyway, 1.81 seems to be running fine! Thanks for your time.

No problem. I wish I had thought to check the paths, thats a good catch. I wouldn't have expected those to change without notice.
