After uploading to the web server, the entire website broke. During a painful interlude during which the web host service provide called me an idiot, I discovered that the CGI scripts were looking for a (now missing) CONFIG.INI file. About 5 years later, the web hosting service owner who called me an idiot hired me as lead software developer and senior tech support analyst.
