RE: Unable to run cgi script
Got it, after spending two days on just this problem I have found the answer with the help of David T_G and David Kirol and others, many thanks. And the answer was Setting ScriptAlias /cgi-bin /home/kelvin/cgi-bin/ Means that I still need http://localhost/ But I don't now need /home/Kelvin So the final path is http://localhost/cgi-bin/myscript.cgi Simple eh! thanks again Kelvin Ps just spotted that Scott suggested this within one of his answers yesterday > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:Linux@;onion.perl.org] On Behalf Of > zentara > Sent: 12 November 2002 14:15 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: Unable to run cgi script > > On Mon, 11 Nov 2002 12:27:25 -, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Kelvin > McWha) wrote: > > >System is > >SuSe 8.1 stand-a-lone > >Apache 1.3 > > > >Have got Apache running OK and tested it in standalone mode using > >http://localhost > >which shows the appropriate test page > > Can you get http://localhost/~kevin to run? > > In SuSE 8.1 you need to enabled user home dirs. > > Look at /etc/sysconfig/apache and see if you have home directories > enabled. > > > > > -- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

In SuSE 8.1 you need to enabled user home dirs. Look at /etc/sysconfig/apache and see if you have home directories enabled. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: Unable to run cgi script
David Still no joy, the script now just hangs as if searching for about 10 secs I have tried the following shell script which gives for the most part no result.

RE: Unable to run cgi script
So I have tried the method below ie and the server was unable to find the file? I have tried commenting out the other alias which was pointing somewhere else for the cgi-bin I have removed the file associations with each pl/cgi file this then brings up the open with dialog box So my guess is somehow Apache isn't opening the cgi files. Apache is running I proved it with the localhost page And another thing running the script by the command line just produces the script, by that I mean, where I would have thought it would have run the html bit it doesn't. It prints all the tags as well. Or am I misunderstanding what should happen?

RE: Unable to run cgi script
I don't think that's it; with the ScriptAlias set it should call the script through a relative or full path as easily as it does via that full HTTP call. I'm curious what the document root is...if it is /home/kelvin, then technically you *should* just be able to write it as . Or, if you want to try the HTTP call, http://localhost/cgi-bin/myscript.cgi";>. It sounds to me like .cgi or .pl may already have file associations with an external application (since the scripts are opening in your editor), and for some reason those are overriding your AddHandler directive in Apache. Did you try troubleshooting it by using an either/or approach? By this I mean simply adding a handler for either .cgi or .pl but not both, and trying it that way. What are the results you get when you run the script via the command line or run a perl -c on it? Another quick question: I noticed that you called the configuration file httpd.config. Since its actual name is httpd.conf, I wonder if it's as simple as renaming your configuration file? If you already have it named httpd.conf, then never mind this question. :) - Scot Robnett inSite Internet Solutions Square West Center 454 West Jackson Street Woodstock, IL 60098 (815)206-2907 office (815)342-6480 mobile [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.insiteful.tv -Original Message- From: David T-G [mailto:davidtg-perl-beginners@;justpickone.org] Sent: Monday, November 11, 2002 7:58 AM To: perl beginners cgi Cc: Kelvin McWha Subject: Re: Unable to run cgi script Kelvin -- and then Kelvin McWha said... % % I *think* you have to qualify this, as action="http://localhost/home/kelvin/cgi-bin/myscript.cgi";> Certainly worth a try...

RE: Unable to run cgi script
mmm. to be honest Robert I picked this script up on the web and I have
used it as an example to show that my system will not run cgi scripts,
it also does not show any errors but opens them for editing instead. I
don't think I'm anywhere near looking at cgi.pm yet I am simply trying
to teach myself the basics so I need to get up and running first.
Thanks

Unable to run cgi script
I am trying to set my system up as a Webserver
for testing purposes
System is
SuSe 8.1 stand-a-lone
Apache 1.3
Have got Apache running OK and tested it in standalone mode using
http://localhost
which shows the appropriate test page
I have configured httpd.config to point to my directories as follows
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/kelvin/cgi-bin/
Options +ExecCGI
AddHandler cgi-script cgi pl
I am now trying to run simple html & perl scripts as shown below
My test page
First Name
Last Name
E-Mail Addr
#!/usr/bin/perl
use CGI;
read(STDIN,$temp,$ENV{'CONTENT_LENGTH'});
@pairs=split(/&/,$temp);
foreach $item(@pairs)
{
($key,$content)=split(/=/,$item,2);
$content=~tr/+/ /;
$content=~s/%(..)/pack("c",hex($1))/ge;
$fields{$key}=$content;
}
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "\n";
print "\n";
print "\n";
print "Thank You\n";
print "$fields{fname} $fields{lname}";
print "I will write\n";
print "you at\n";
print "$fields{email}\n";
print "\n";
print "";
What happens when I run the html code and click send, is that instead of
running the perl script it attempts to open it. I have tried a number of
scripts and they all do the same. I am sure it is something simple but
it's got me beat.
Thanking you in anticipation
Kelvin
