I ran the script at hostgator, cpanel hosting, and the install went very well.
I then tried to install at godaddy, and the install.cgi page rendered all of the code as a txt file only and not the actual html web looking page.
here's what i did
1. took new script and uploaded the files to website.com/xfilesharing/
2. inside that folder i have the cgi-bin, and htdocs folder
3. I changed the permissions at godaddy, and set up the database using godaddy's platform
4. I next navigated to the install.cgi and that is where just the code shows up, not in html
Thanks for help in advanced
