I'm configuring Apache 1.3.14 with Mod Perl 1.24_01 and PHP 4.0.3pl1, and I
got a problem in which when Apache wants to run a perl script (for PHP
script there is no problem), for example for this script
[root@is cgi-bin]# cat hello.cgi
#!/usr/bin/perl
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);
#
# Simple "hello, world" program to demonstrate basic
# CGI output.
#
# Print the CGI response header, required for all HTML output
# Note the extra \n, to send the blank line
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n" ;
# Print the HTML response page to STDOUT
print <<EOF ;
<<html>
<<head><title>CGI Results</title></head>
<<body>
<<center><h1>Hello, world (in Perl).</h1></center>
<<center><h5>Written by me</h5></center>
<</body>
<</html>
EOF
[I add < in front of the tag, to make it won't be considered as HTML mail]
Then, when I accessed the script, Apache would give output
500 Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable
to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, root@localhost and inform them of
the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have
caused
the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
And in the error log it says :
failed to open log file
fopen: Is a directory
[Fri Dec 22 03:48:35 2000] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Premature end of
script headers: /home/me/public_html/cgi-bin/hello.cgi
But, if I add this one in Apache Configuration
<IfModule mod_perl.c>
# Alias /perl/ /home/httpd/perl/
# <Location /perl>
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Apache::Registry
Options +ExecCGI
# </Location>
</IfModule>
Then the script will work, although not 100% correct, because it will show :
Content-type: text/html
<<html>
<<head><title>CGI Results</title></head>
<<body>
<<center><h1>Hello, world (in Perl).</h1></center>
<<center><h5>Written by me</h5></center>
<</body>
<</html>
In which, actually the line
Content-type: text/html
should not be there
And also the problem if I add this line in httpd.conf
<IfModule mod_perl.c>
# Alias /perl/ /home/httpd/perl/
# <Location /perl>
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Apache::Registry
Options +ExecCGI
# </Location>
</IfModule>
, then if I can access http://localhost/~me/index.html before, now it will
show Forbidden
Is there any clue to fix this problem ?
this is the result of ./httpd -l
[root@is bin]# ./httpd -l
