CGI Scripts

[shauntp]

Can I run cgi scripts normally or do I have to do something with cgi-bin. Because whenever i try to run a cgi script it returns an Internal Server Error.

Is it set for 755?

 

[shauntp]

I changed it to 755 and it still didn't work.

Put the scripts into cgi-bin

 

[shauntp]

Ok. All the Scripts are in cgi-bin and are all 755. And it still isn't working. Could this be todo with perl?

 

[Slothie]

What scripts are you trying to run...

 

[shauntp]

I am trying to run the setup script for perlsupporter (a Support Helpdesk).

http://support.humanitix.org/cgi-bin/setup.cgi

Edit:
I just checked my Error Log and it says this:

Premature end of script headers: /home/umanitix/public_html/support/cgi-bin/setup.cgi

 

[Slothie]

Open the script in your text editor, and under the path to Perl on the first line, place this:

use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);

Then upload the script again, set it to executable and point your browser at it. If all goes according to plan, the error message will now be printed to the browser for all to see. Fix the error it details, and then comment out (or remove) that line because its never a good idea to give server settings out.

The above file (setup.cgi) is no longer a Perl Script .... internally it is just an error report ...

<pre><h1>Software error:</h1>
<pre>Could not open .htaccess for reading. Make sure the file exists. at setup.cgi line 37.</pre>
