After much fiddlin', I tried changing eConfig161.pl permissions to 444...worked!

also used basepath option (get_path=0) and don't forget, no trailing slash on  basepath.

Thanks,

Ron

I have read the similiar thread and tried all the recommendations.  I still have a blank screen.  

I called my ISP and they are running Perl 5.6.1

I have changed the attribs on the files according to setup and I tried the 444 the last user suggested.  If you have any suggestions I am open.

Thanks,

Jerry C.
