Checked everything I could find on your site for similar problem and found only a report on leaving .exe off shebang line for perl. >Description: Error log entry: [Fri Apr 17 01:11:33 1998] [error] (2)No such file or directory: couldn't spawn child process: c:/internet/apache/htdocs/cgi-bin/env.pl Transfer log entry: 207.213.5.209 - - [17/Apr/1998:01:11:45 -0700] "GET /cgi-bin/env.pl HTTP/1.0" 500 389 Tried w/wo (.exe extension, shebang switches, and \r on shebang line and full doc). Script runs from cmdline. Tried a couple of user/group combos (commented out now). Perl crashes if I remove the -w switch from the shebang line. Tried lots of scripts that worked under Website, none work. The scripts are being found by the server because changes to the shebang line affect the operation. Tried putting ls.exe in cgi-bin and renaming it to ls.cgi and got the same result (spawn error). I tried configuring .bat file as CGI and it just printed the content instead of executing it although it did prepend C> to the result: #!c:/command.com echo Content-Type: text/plain echo echo I:/gnuwin32/b18/H-i386-cygwin32/bin/ls.exe *.* I:/gnuwin32/b18/H-i386-cygwin32/bin/ls.exe *.* Except for CGI execution, the server seems fine. Very fast and reads all of my .htaccess files etc (that I use on my ISP's Linux system). All of my pages are CGI generated though, so basically nothing works for my duplicate home website situation. :( >How-To-Repeat: I can supply .conf files in reply to email request, but I'm using dialup to net and running only on local machine. >Fix: No, I'm a Unix kinda guy stuck on Windoze. :) I'd be glad to try 1.3b5 if binaries are available >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: [In order for any reply to be added to the PR database, ] [you need to include <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> in the Cc line ] [and leave the subject line UNCHANGED. This is not done] [automatically because of the potential for mail loops. ]
