Forgive me for being a n00b, how to isntall CGIproxy?

Ok, I admit it... anything other than PHP is over my head.
I was hoping installing CGIproxy was a upload and go, but it just displays a blank page onload.
I used the CGIproxy autoinstaller, and it works... but they don't have the latest version... and the file is a .pl whereas the the CGIproxy file is a .cgi.
Anyone know how to do this? Thanks a bunch

 

MAke sure in htaccess .cgi is recognised also open the proxy script and cheap if the header is pointing to the right cgi folder.

 

I allowed CGI in the account on my VPS.
do I need to put it in the cgi-bin folder?
Also, I am not sure what you mean by check if the header is pointing to the right cgi folder.

 

You dont have to put in cgi folder.

Open nph-proxy.cgi in notepad.

Is the tope line?
#!/usr/bin/perl

You have to change it to fit your vps.

 

- upload nph-proxy.pl
- set 755 premission to file .
point to file @ url .
if you give internal server error you cgi processor is out of service or your file is corrupted

 

Sorry

Forgot to tell you about permissions.

 

It was the permissions I was missing, thank you both very much

Also I'm sure on the site there is a link to an auto install, be sure to check it out.
