//Result:

500 Error
An internal server error has occurred. Please try your request again momentarily.

    File or directory permissions are set too high: Files should be 0644, directories 0755.
    Problem with your .htaccess file.
    A syntax error in a CGI script.

Problem description:
500 Internal Server Error. Any ideas how to fix. I know it's not the CGI script for it's the .dmb which I'm using the Dantom/CGI and a tutorial I found on DMCGI to test if its functional.

The file or directory permissions should be okay with what I have set.

This leaves the .htaccess file program, so any ideas on how to fix?

By the way, I'm using the host: http://www.x10hosting.com and it allows .htaccess editing and so on.

DMCGI at this point is pretty much deprecated. FYI

I understand that but some people, like myself, still find it useful for various things. Any help?

Is BYOND actually installed on the server? DMCGI requires that BYOND be installed on the server that's executing it.

Oh, not sure on how to install it exactly. Any guides??

It requires that you have SSH access to the server and permission to install new programs. If the server is running Linux you'll have to download and install the Linux version of BYOND on it using the instructions found inside of the zip file. If it's running Windows it can't function with DMCGI.

Alright, thanks. I'll set it up and see how it goes.
