It does look like your host supports perl, You may wanna ask your host why a perl script isn't running when you have the necessary perl modules installed. Your forum folder is in your cgi-bin folder, good good. It looks like it may be a problem with your host rather than something your doing wrong.

Take it up with them, If all else fails you know where i am

Ok, I contacted my host and here's what they said:


To run .pl scripts they need to be either placed in your cgi-bin or you'll need jailed SSH access so you can run this via shell. I've enabled shell access for the user 'jodiiii' at this time. Please note you'll need to use a program like putty to SSH to the server and use the custom port 2222 that we use for shell and you should then just be able to cd to the directory this install.pl is located in and run it from there. Please let us know if you have any further questions or concerns. Thanks.


Now, being a total beginner...this is completely overwhelming to me.   What now? Thanks for all of the help so far, I hope I'm not being annoying.

All that sounds complicated but read the first part, "To run .pl scripts they need to be either placed in your cgi-bin or" the rest is abit more complex but remember the "or"....
Your forums perl scripts are in the cgi-bin folder so there shouldn't be a problem, they are saying that because some servers don't support running scripts from outside the cgi-bin folder, my does fortunately but as all of eblah's perl scripts are supposed to go in the cgi-bin folder anyway, there shouldn't be the issues your having...

To me, (i could be wrong) but it sounds like there is nothing you can do, you've done everything correct so far. Your perl scripts are in the correct place, they still won't run. Let the host know this.

Inform them the scripts have been placed in the cgi-bin folder and the server is still not handling them correctly. As if the perl module isn't working correctly.

Hope they sort it for ya!

PS. sorry for the long delay, i was hoping Justin would jump in as he's the perl expert!

Jodi,

If you would like  me to install your board for you, let me know via a PM.  Sometimes it is tricky with certain hosts.
