Common Problems

Problem 1

If you get a message as shown below:

then the likely problem is probably due to not setting the permission on the .pl files. This can be done in WS_FTP
by right clicking on the .pl file and selecting "chmod". Then set execute permission for owner, group, other. Note:
set write permission only for owner otherwise your script will be disabled.

Problem 2

If you get a message as shown below:

Software error:

Can't locate DBI.pm in @INC (@INC contains: c:/perl/lib c:/perl/site/lib .) at e:\domains\w\worldpedigrees.com\user\htdocs\cgi-bin\pp_test2.pl line 17.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at e:\domains\w\worldpedigrees.com\user\htdocs\cgi-bin\pp_test2.pl line 17.

For help, please send mail to this site's webmaster, giving this error message and the time and date of the error.

then the likely problem is that you haven't set the $DatabaseHost = "localhost"; correctly in your pp_config.pl file.
It typically looks like "mysql5.my_isp_name.net".
