I'm having a bit of trouble with my host. When I post to my form mailer PHP file, I keep getting HTTP 500 errors.

I'm certain that I did everything right:
- set "#!/usr/local/bin/php" as the first line (sans quotes)
- Uploaded in ASCII
- Set permissions as execute and read for all parties.
- Used the .cgi extension

I think my host compiled PHP as a CGI binary, so its a little tricky, but my other pages work, so is there something I missed?


Note to self: Never let Quantumlynx host your stuff ever again.

In IE's internet options under advanced turn off Friendly HTTP Errors, then it will tell you exactly what the error is, since HTTP 500 can mean a great many things.

Once you do that, if you can't figure out what it is post that error here.

Now it wants my server admin to check an error log of some sort. So it looks like i'll have to do some detective work.

Thanks a lot.
