Can ya help me? I just need to get the Forum.cgi running that's all..and what should i CHMOD forum.cgi and i upload them in BINARY mode like the Guide says. And when i tried to run ....../cgi-bin/forum.cgi? via web i get ERROR 500. I know i screwed somethin but i cant seems to able to find it.

It's an executable, so you can't open it with a text editor. It should be chmoded to 755 IIRC.

Are you sure it's uploaded in binary mode, is the size still the same?
