quiz installing problems

i have just installed a quiz on my site. chmodded all the files correctly, but for some reason it isn't working

http://www.totaltwaddle.co.uk/quiz/ what causes that error,
i tried the help files that came with it but nothing.... and i am posting it here as it isn't a server/hosting issue?

:cry:

:shifty:

That's odd. Doesn't look like the server's restricting access from CHMOD, normally you'd get a 403 Forbidden page. I'm pretty sure despammed or burningsnowman will know the answer to this

i had a similar problem with an image program i uploaded, and changing the .htaccess sorted that... but there is no .htacess in that folder...

i am completely flumoxed

Ehh... /quiz/ You have banned from accessing this site. :wallbash: Firstime i've been on your site

i get that too and it's my site....
mee thinks it's broken

Where'd you get the quiz from?

http://www.teca-scripts.com/cgi-bin/quirex/index.cgi
that's it, i just wanted a play around...

There's no where in the code that i could see that refers to the string "You have banned from accessing this site"

Have you set one of your error messages up as this?

no i haven't...

told you i was flumoxed

What's in the error log? Can you post it here with code tags?

here is what is in my error log minus i.p
[Tue Mar 30 23:10:12 2004] [error] [client ********] Options ExecCGI is off in this directory: /home/mrselnom/public_html/quiz/index.cgi[/

That's odd, On Titan I can run CGI anywhere... Try moving it to the cgi-bin folder, and then double check the permissions.

ok, i'll give it ago, but i checked the permission so they are exactly what the help files say they are...

watch this space

nope same error....?

actually i get this
/cgi-bin/quiz You have banned from accessing this site.

Try accessing the .cgi directly?

ok i tried this addy
http://www.totaltwaddle.co.uk/cgi-bin/quiz/index.cgi

and got this error

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Now look at the log...

Premature end of script headers - Upload the script in acsii mode rather than binary ?

i uploaded it acsii... should i try binary?
