Internal Server Error

[vbkris]

o.k i am a newbie...

i have a cgi file that runs file in my local server. but once i upload it i get the error:
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@ilovetiny.com 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.

the program is a simple program:
#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Content-type:text/html\n\n";
print "hello world";

And the server error log says...?

Chances are you're trying to run it outside a cgi-bin specified directory under Apache, and your own local server is much more forgiving.

Daniel's point is v.valid though - check the logs and come back, on Apache under linux usually var/log/httpd/error_log, also look at the cgi.log as well

If your system, and the system on the web were identical, you wouldn't have a problem if it works on your setup.

Problem, they're not the same, hence issue
Problem, there is a known error, and its in the logs
Problem, we have no idea of your operating systems, or webservers, or where the script resides on the server (webside)

If you give us something to work with we might be able to assist
