In your httpd.conf file, look for these lines.... # To use CGI scripts: # AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
Add ".pl" to the AddHandler line and restart apache.... AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl Manuel Tejada wrote:
Hi I use RedHat 7.2 in a PC workstation not for production, just for homework. This is the first time working with Apache. It is working fine with html pages, but not with cgi programs. I buil the following text cgi program called "mi_cgi.pl" in my home directory /home/manuel/ and then copy it to /var/www/cgi-bin : #! /usr/bin/perl print "Content-Type: text\html\r\n\r\n"; print "Hola, Manuel."; When I enter the direction http://localhost/cgi-bin/mi_cgi.pl in Netscape I don't see the line "Hola, Manuel", instead of that a windows appear asking to save the mi_cgi.pl file in my home directory. This window has the following spaces: Filter: /home/manuel/*.pl Selection: /home/manuel/mi_cgi.pl And three buttoms: "Accept", "Filter" and "Cancel" When I click Accept and then goes to Netscape to try again see the output of the cgi program the same window appear again. I don't know why this is happens. When I ejecute the cgi program in command line I get the output, then the sintax is OK. I gave everyone permission on the file. The path to the script interpreter is OK. What I am doing wrong? I will appreciate any help
