..when I test the asp cgi scripts...
Is this ASP or Perl?
If Perl, set the permissions to chmod 755. (rwx r-x r-x)

I set my permissions to 755 but recived this error when tring/testing
cgi scripts on my wbsite

Typically this is caused by a syntax error in your script, but here's a few things to check:

1. Make sure your shebang line is correct
#!/usr/bin/perl ...something like this

2. Did you include a header before your html output followed be two \n's
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
or
print $q->header(); ## if using CGI (see below)

3. Add this line near the beginning of your script and your errors will be reported on the browser.
use CGI::Carp(qw/fatalsToBrowser/);

Also consider using...
use strict; ## avoid silly spelling errors and control variable scope
use CGI; ## Makes life much easier.
my $q = new CGI; ## a cgi object;

If your current script is relatively short, post it here, otherwise attach it as a .txt file. I'm happy to help out but I'm not going to write it for you.
