Here is the sample script I am trying to execute: #!/usr/bin/perl # hello.pl -- my first perl script! print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
This is what I get running it from shell: [eric@Mithrilhall cgi-bin]$ ls -lh total 48k -rw-r--r-- 1 apache apache 268 Oct 17 15:09 printenv -rwxr--r-- 1 root root 788 Mar 28 22:16 script.cgi* -rw-r--r-- 1 apache apache 757 Oct 17 15:09 test-cgi -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 216 Mar 28 14:34 test.cgi* -rwxr-xr-x 1 eric eric 20k Mar 27 23:48 wwwboard.pl* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 102 Mar 31 02:08 x2.cgi* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 92 Mar 29 00:19 x.cgi* [eric@Mithrilhall cgi-bin]$ perl x.cgi Content-type: text/html [eric@Mithrilhall cgi-bin]$ When trying to run it from the browser this is how I call it: http://mithrilhall.redirectme.net/cgi-bin/x.cgi This is the result in the browser: 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.

You have to watch ownership to get the cgi Also what does /var/log/httpd/error_log read, after you run the script. Make sure that #!/usr/bin/perl Is the very first line in the script (must be at the top of the page) The '*' in this line must be the very first character in the file -- Gerald Waugh : Registered Linux user # 255245 http://www.frontstreetnetworks.com New Haven, CT, United States of America 7:10am up 9 days, 15:35, 2 users, load average: 1.05, 1.02, 1.07 _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
