Errors | Webserver errors
|  |  | 01.) "not found" (overview)
|  |  |  | Screenshot:
|  |  |  | This indicates most often that the shebang line (`#!` - the first line within a script) hasn't been adjusted i.e. the perl interpreter path doesn't point to the location of the installed perl interpreter.
|  |  | 02.) "internal server error" (overview)
|  |  |  | Screenshot:
|  |  |  | Either the "ScriptAlias" directive (within your Apache HTTPD configuration), which controls the execution of CGI scripts, - for example`:` `ScriptAlias "E:/www/cgi-bin/" - hasn't been adjusted to the correct path which contains the CGI scripts or the script & its belonging files haven't been given the right permissions.`
|  |  | 03.) "the site cannot be displayed" (overview)
|  |  |  | Ensure that the string-variable `$script_url` within your configuration file has been adjusted to match the absolute URL of the location of the script within the internet.
|  | Filename- & path errors
|  |  | 04.) "no such file or directory" error (overview)
|  |  |  | Most likely you've changed the name and/or the location of a certain file and/or directory and did not subsequently update the entry within the configuration file. Be also aware that the standard path of ping isn't valid on win32-systems; sendmail is per se not installed; so examine those two points carefully too.
|  | Admin interface errors
|  |  | 05.) interface login denied or "no access" (overview)
|  |  |  | Either your submitted user and/or password are constantly being different from the configured ones or more likely - the two chosen random digits (which are used to "calculate" a random admin session-ID) exceed the length of eight characters.
