cgi put script?
Hi, Thanks to everyone for the suggestions- I have not tried many of them. There does not seem to be much documentation, for this function. I need some time for further "experimenting", and will let you know the results. Thanks! Steve -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Have you correctly set the parameter which let Apache know where is your cgi-bin is ? and in your code, have you state #!C:/blah/blah... / -wT correctly ? Did your success for some simple test, just like print 'hello world' ? > I just get "server error" messages, because perl doesn't like > the commands, or the syntax, in the scripts. Do you mean 500 Server error ? but can you sure there are no error inside the code ? did you turn on warnings ? and use die "..." ? and did you print header (ie. print "Content-type: text/html\n\n" ) ? > I found the scripts from a web site, and a book on Apache.

There are a lot if you search it by a google engine. But what do you want ? Rgds, Connie -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: cgi put script?
If you're using CGI.pm that comes with perl, it's POD documentation gives an example of how to upload a file. Search for the header "CREATING A FILE UPLOAD FIELD" That example code has worked just fine for me. Your file system permissions *have* to be set properly though. In Unix/Linux that's done with chmod. I have never used Apache under NT so I can't help you there. Hope that helps.

RE: cgi put script?
Hi Steve, is this the HTTP PUT method we are talking about which allows resources to be written to a web server? If so, obviously the 'out of the box' config for most webservers (inc Apache) wont allow the anonymous user to write files to the servers file system (security risk no?). To alter this config I guess you have to amend the httpd.conf file but, before you do that, I would: a) check the apache access and error logs to see if they say anything interesting (probably in c:\program files\ApacheGroup\Apache\logs" b) use CGI Carp to try and get meaningful CGI errors Can you let us know more about this script you are using etc? joel -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 16 July 2002 01:31 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: cgi put script?
