If you truly want to debug the script as CGI, you will need to access your server error log. That is where the actual errors generated by your script will be located. However, I will reiterate my previous sentiment and that of Tobin that you need to make sure that the CGI "Hello world" script works and that you have a script that successfully connects to and can query the database. Once you have both, then you can begin to combine them.
