First, be sure that your script is properly configured. The number one reason that scripts do not work is that you made a mistake when you changed the location variables in the script. Then, make sure that the permissions on your script are set to 755. Finally, be sure that the link to your script is properly configured on your web page. The problem is almost always somewhere in the configuration!
