I'm trying to debug
WebBBS Admin (http://awsd.com/scripts/) and
I cannot get anything other then:

"...\cgi-local\cooler_admin.pl' script produced no output"

all of the required files seem to be present as they are used by other scripts...

This is further complicated by the fact that the shared hosting enviornment I work on will shut all scripting off if I generate 7 errors in 5 minutes.

Any way if any one has had any experience with this perl based webbbs I would appreciate any tips... The board works with no problem only the admin script won't work.

Here is the code: 
## (1) Specify the location of your webbbs_settings.pl script:

require ".../cgi-local/webbbs_settings.pl";

## (2) Locate the files and directories unique to this forum:

$webbbs_admin = "d:/Webs/dougsm/cgi-local/webbbs_admin.pl";
$adminurl = "http://ncmadev.mindtown.net/cgi-local/cooler_admin.pl";

$ArchiveDir = "";
$BypassPassword = 0;

$dir = "/data/cooler";
$cgiurl = "[email me]/cgi-local/cooler.pl";

$boardname = "Water Cooler";
$shortboardname = "";

## (3) Define variables you want changed from webbbs_settings.pl:

##$HeaderFile = "d:/Webs/dougsm/cgi-local/headerh2o.txt";
##$FooterFile = "d:/Webs/dougsm/cgi-local/footerh2o.txt";
##$MessageHeaderFile = "...cgi-local/headerh2o.txt";
##$MessageFooterFile = "...cgi-local/footerh2o.txt";

##I removed the full path names for this post...
