Dear All, I have a cgi script that uploads two files and then it execute a program using the system call. This program then uses the uploaded files as input, and then it generates a file that I am interested in displaying in the web browser. Unfortunately, the system command does not work and it makes the cgi to crash. The log error message is the following:
[Wed Mar 6 20:32:11 2002] [error] [client 155.52.22.78] malformed header from script. Bad header=Problems reading input file as: /usr/freeware/apach e/share/cgi-bin/shannon/entropy2pdb.cgi However, if I try to run the program in the background as it follows: system ("$program $dir/$file1 $dir/$file2 \&); then cgi does not crush, but unfortunately it does not wait to complete the job and I can not open the results in the browser. If someone has a solution for this problem, please let me know it. Cheers -- *************************************************************************** PEDRO A.
