Stupid Question on Apache

[linuxluis]

Hello all, this must be the most stupid question I have ever posted. But my mind is blank at this point just plan forgot..

I am having trouble setting up the cgi-bin in apache.

I have written a perl script place it in the directory went to my browser and I get this error.

Apache/1.3.19 Server at local Port 80


I thought I wrote the script wrong so i did a basic script.

!#/usr/bin/perl

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "Hello";

But I keep on getting the same error.

So does anyone have a clue on what's going on. I check my httpd.conf file but every looks the same plus I gave the file full permission chmood 777 test.pl


Thank
Tux :cool:

The first thing I can see wrong with your script is the head. Unless you mistyped in the forum post, the first line should be:

#!/usr/bin/perl

You've got the hash and exclamation reversed.

Other than that, you might post a little more on your apache setup, whether you're running mod_perl, verify exactly where 'perl' is on your system, e.g. /usr/local/bin/perl, etc.
