The Visitor counter doesn't work.

If the Web Search software is installed on a Unix web server, remove the COUNTPATH line from the lib.conf file.

If the problem persists: Make sure the tmp folder has been created beneath the cgi-bin folder.


I get an Internal Server Error when trying to run libsearch.cgi.

Please try these suggestions, one at a time.

  1. This error usually means that the access rights (chmod) of the libsearch.cgi file have not been set to executable (755).
  2. Please also ensure that it was transferred as ascii not binary.
  3. If you have made any changes to libsearch.cgi, go back to your back copy and see if the same error occurs.
  4. You may need to comment out the following line

use CGI::Session;

  1. You may need to comment out the following line

use LWP::Simple qw(mirror getstore is_error status_message);


Can't locate CGI/Session.pm in @INC ...

Open libsearch.cgi in notepad, set the status bar on (View, Status bar), go to line mentioned (usually 1016 or 1051) and put a # at the start of the line.  That line is trying to look for a module that is not on the web server.


The line will be

use CGI::Session;
