Beginners Help Needed again
Hi All,
I am trying to get the following cgi script called ice_cream.cgi to work. I
has been copied from the 'Learning perl' book. When I call the script I get
an error message:
Error Message: Permission denied
Error Number: 13
Can someone explain what I might be doing wrong?
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use CGI qw(:standard);
my $favorite = param(flavor);
print header, start_html(Hello Ice Cream), h1(Hello Ice Cream);
if ($favorite) {
print p(Your favorite flavor is $favorite );
} else {
print hr, start_form;
print p(Please select a flavor: , textfield(flavor,mint));
print end_form, hr;
}
Thanks for your help.
Regards
Brian Smart

It may be buried in Properties somewhere. After you find that, turn on execute (X) permission for the file. Hopefully that's your problem, but that error may occur due to a few other things too.

Either type perl scriptname.pl or type chmod a+x scriptname.pl

Hello David, I have checked the file and directory attributes. They are set to read and execute OK. Still no luck.

Hi, My web server is unix Apache. I am running Window2000 on my machine. If I use ssh to contact my website, change to the cgi-bin directory and enter ./icecream.cgi as stated with the web host documentation, I get the following: Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 !DOCTYPE html PUBLIC -//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd html xmlns=http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml; lang=en-USheadtitleHello Ice Cream/title /headbodyh1Hello Ice Cream/h1hr /form method=post action=/./ice_cream.cgi enctype=application/x-www-form-urlencoded pPlease select a flavor: input type=text name=flavor value=mint //p/formhr /[bsmart cgi-bin]$ Unfortunately this means nothing to me.

Make sure that /usr/bin/perl exists - on some systems (you still haven't told us anything about your system!) it's /usr/local/bin/perl instead, for example. We need more information. What web server, what operating system? Roger

I hope it means something to you all! The output is the HTML for your webpage and it proves that the script is executable by your userid and that the path to the perl interpreter is correct. It would seem reasonable to state that the problem is that the script is not executable by the web process. Ensure that the user your apache process runs as has execute and read rights to the script. The easiest way to do this is probably chmod 705 ice-cream.cgi Jason Clifford -- UKFSN.ORG Finance Free Software while you surf the 'net http://www.ukfsn.org/ Get the T-Shirt Now

IMHO, it looks like a miss-configuration on your apache server. Please verify your 'Directory' run-time directives on your Apache configuration files. Another possibility is the absence of a 'ScriptAlias' directive. Good luck. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Luis Campos de Carvalho Computer Science Student OCP DBA Oracle Unix Sys Admin =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

to be totally nitpicky correct ... scripts on many platforms need to be chmod
a+rx ... binaries need execute permissions, scripts need read and execute
chmod 755 scriptname is the much same thing.
