Re: running cygwin bash scripts from apache
Thank you Rene and Max for your replies. Rene's response did the trick: Did you put the script in Apache's cgi-bin directory? Once I put it there, the script works ok. Much to my relief. Thanks for the tip that I can configure Apache to run scripts from other places to - that might come in handy later. Are you using the Apache packaged with Cygwin, or some other Windows Apache? And, what version of Apache? Max, I have Apache 2.0.55 for Windows installed - I thought I needed the Cygwin version, but it turns out the Windows version is still ok to run Bash scripts as long as it has the right shebang line. Thank you both!

running cygwin bash scripts from apache
Hi All, I have Apache and Cygwin. I would like to run bash scripts from Apache, but am unsure as to how to do it. Do I need to configure Apache for this at all? I have seen some posts on the newsgroups that suggest I just need to have a script that references bash through the shebang line. This is what I tried: #!C:/cygwin/bin/bash.exe echo -e Content-type: text/html\n\n echo html echo body echo ==test== echo /body echo /html All I get is the whole script displayed in my browser. Could this be something to do with line endings? Do I have to specify some other path for bash or configure Apach somehow? Any advice would be most appreciated!

I have seen some posts on the newsgroups that suggest I just need to have a script that references bash through the shebang line. This is what I tried: #!C:/cygwin/bin/bash.exe Have you tried posix paths? i.e. #!/bin/bash echo -e Content-type: text/html\n\n echo html echo body echo ==test== echo /body echo /html All I get is the whole script displayed in my browser. Did you put the script in Apache's cgi-bin directory? or is Apache configured to run scripts in the directory you used? Could this be something to do with line endings? Do I have to specify some other path for bash or configure Apach somehow? The above, no. But you'll have those problems too unless you use something like: echo -e whatever\r\n Any advice would be most appreciated! Look at the samples that Apache installs (in its cgi-bin directory), I think there is one shell script, one perl script and maybe other. -- René Berber -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
