phpmotion cgi script help

[legrand]

Hello, i am trying to make a media sharing community site, but when i try to upload anything its says initializing progress bar, and then it jumps to uu_upload.pl
I is suposed to use uu_upload.pl but when i click upload it opens the uu_upload.pl as a text document, and nothing more happens.... Usually instead of redirecting to it as a text document it should just appear a progress bar.

This is my site: http://chillweb.org/media 🙂

Plz anyone help!
Thank You

legrand,

A .pl is a PERL script. Perl scripts usually need to be within the cgi-bin subfolder. Please note as well, depending on your server it may not parse the ".pl" extension, you may need to use ".cgi".

This is the case with the host that I use, so you may need to rename the file.

Also, check the permissions on the file, it should be 0755 - Which is User: Read, Write, Execute, others: Read and Execute.

I hope this helps..
