Why ‘500 Internal Server Error’ on my website?3

Syntax or coding errors in your CGI/Perl script

If it is a web page ending in .cgi or .pl that is producing the error, check your script for errors. You can use the following web-based tool (where membername.netfirms.com is the member name assigned to your account – please check your Netfirms Welcome Letter for your membername; scriptname.pl is the name of the script you are attempting to run):
  • http://membername.netfirms.com/cgi/cgierr.pl/cgi-bin/scriptname.pl
OR
  • http://membername.netfirms.com/cgi/cgierr.pl/cgi-bin/scriptname.cgi  source netfirm.com
