Greetings!
I while back I wrote about assisting a neighboring school district with some
perl scripts I had written to allow teachers to easily make web pages.
Thanks very much to everyone who gave such good advice. That really helped.
Now we are actually in the process of getting the scripts to work for them
and have hit an early problem...
I loaded a simple script to just test things out (one that just prints out
environment variables) and it will not run. When I try to bring up the
script I get:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /hck/cgi-bin/printev.cgi on this server.
----------------------------------------------------------------------- -----
----
Apache/1.3.26 Server at eagle Port 16080
I set the permissions to 755 for the script, and the folder is web
accessible because html files open up fine from that location. When I make
a terminal connection and try to run the script from the command line, it
will not work either.
I think it may be a more fundamental problem, such as needing to edit
something in their httpd.conf file or needing to enable something else on
the server so that perl scripts will be executed. They have never runs
scripts before, so nothing has every been set up for this.
I would appreciate any suggestions you have for this problem, especially an
idea of what configurations are needed the first time to get an OSX server
to execute perl scripts.
As always, thanks so much!
