Server error!

The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request. Either the server is overloaded or there was an error in a CGI script.

If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.

Darn, it is doing exactly what you told it to do. The problem is in your <FORM> tags: the action tag is set to "_URL_", which is exactly what the error log is complaining of. The correct entry there is the name of the script that should handle the upload. You need to write in an actual filename in place of the _URL_ placeholder that was used in the example in the PHP manual. That is not absolutely obvious from a quick reading of the page, but there is a note below that code box that sort of says this.
