1. When I start the script I get an Internal Server Error (500).

Maybe you have made a failure by transfering the file to the server.
There are two diffrent sort of textfiles (DOS and UNIX). They uses different line ends.
If you change the script under Windows, the file is now in DOS-format, which the server can't read correctly.
You must transfer the file in the ASCII-Modus of your transfer program, then it should work.
The FTP-Server converts then to UNIX-Text.

But maybe the script is only not executable.
See
3. chmod ..

2. I always get an "Guestbook error".

Either you haven't uploaded the 'gdata' directory', or the directory is not writeable or readable.

Sometimes the webserver is badly configurated and you are not the owner of the script.
Now you must make the 'gdata' directory for all writeable. That's not fine..
See
3. chmod ..

3. What the hell is chmod ?

With chmod (changemodus) you can change the rights of a file.
For example to make the guestbook-script executable.

Take a look at
http://bruce-hamilton.com/tutorials/chmod.shtml for more information.

4. Can I run the script in every directory?

No. Only in a 'cgi-bin' or 'perl-bin' directory.
Subdirectorys are mostly allowed.
If you can execute the script in every directory, why do you read this question? :-)

5. When I run the script I only see the sourcecode of it.

See
4.

6. What is the meaning of the whole templates?

header_template: This is the html-header of the guestbook. Color, title and so on..
body_template: Is under the header_template.. Includes the functions number of entries, pagebar, thanxmessage, the entries, etc.
write_template: The design of an guestbook entry
footer_template: Foot of the guestbook

header_template+body_template+write_template+footer_template = A complete page

In body_template and write_template are
Design-Patterns, which are allowing dynamicle creating of the guestbook page.

7. What's the meaning of FG by 'FG Guestbook'?

My name is Felix Gertz. Strange, isn't it? :)

8. What's a guitar?

A musicinstrument, that has mostly 6 Strings.
You can produce cool tones with it.
