Hi,
I am trying to run my first CGI-script on my remote host. The script
have been taken from Ovid guide -
http://www.easystreet.com/~ovid/cgi_course/index.html
and should provide output of errors to the browser (IE 5.0 or
Netscape), but besides annoying 500 Internal Server mistake I could
not get anything, after trying it's url in browser
(http://208.56.78.155/cgi-bin/time.cgi );
#!usr/bin/perl -wT
BEGIN {
$|=1;
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);
}
use strict;
use diagnostics;
use CGI;
my $query = new CGI;
print $query->header( "text/html" );
my $time = localtime;
print <<END_HERE;
<html><head><title>This is the time</title></head>
<body bgcolor="#ffffcc">
<h1>This is a another lame Web page</h1>
<p>
The time is $time
</body></html>
END_HERE

I've upload it in ASCII mode, set permission rwxr-xr-x,
server path to Perl5 is: /usr/bin/perl
I've copied some additional info from access log which is available
for my account:
212.119.102.144 - - [21/Oct/2001:08:45:03 -0400] "GET
/cgi-bin/time.cgi HTTP/1.0" 500 533 "-" "Mozilla/4.51 [en] (Win98; I)"
and for similar test.cgi
212.119.102.144 - - [21/Oct/2001:08:46:00 -0400] "GET
/cgi-bin/test.cgi HTTP/1.1" 500 545 "-" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE
5.0; Windows 98; DigExt)"
Also, I have tried to run it from shell,
>perl -T time.cgi and >perl -Td time.cgi
but when it creates
>my $query = new CGI;
then it awaits some input :
(offline mode: enter name=value pairs on stdin input)
And do not know what to try the next.
This is not the situation when host's support gives any explanations
or help by e-mail or phone.
Hope, somebody from [EMAIL PROTECTED] could help and give some
advises.
Best regards
