When I load my setup.pl file: http://www.w8k8.com/cgi-bin/forum/setup.pl i get a 404 error
When I load setup.pl from my ftp control panel i get the file in text form
tried changing the file extension to .cgi but that didn't help

Hope this is enough information and thank you for your time

Either you don't have cgi enabled or you forgot to chmod Setup.pl to 755

Blah.pl also needs to be chmod to 755 and Settings.pl to 666

hi martin thanks for the swift response, i've just double checked and the chmod settings are set correctly, I've been poking around on my hosting providers website and cant see a option to enable cgi, i assume they are automatically enabled?

thanks

ok just tried a simple test, uploaded a really simple mailing script and chmodded it to 755, showed me the text version of the file, it would appear that cgi is not enabled as you suggested but how to enable it... i have no idea, any suggestions on the usual procedure?

There are usually 2 options when it comes to enabling scripts, 1 is in your control panel and 2 is to contact your host but it if the type of account allows it, it is usually on by default.

First step is to login to your control panel and use the help.

You are getting a 404 because you are going to the wrong file.  There is no setup.pl on your server.  It is Setup.pl

If you go to this address, it works:
