http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11655 CGI - couldn't spawn child process: ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2002-08-13 14:02 ------- Thank you for this and any other replies in advance. The CGI script is straight out of the O'Reilly Learning Perl book as follows: #!/usr/bin/perl -w # cgi-bin/ice_cream: program to answer *and generate* ice cream # favorite flavor form (version3) use CGI qw(:standard); my $favorite = param("flavor"); print header, start_html("Hello Ice Cream"), h1("Hello Ice Cream"); if ($favorite) { print p("Your favoraite flavor is $favorite."); } else { print hr, start_form; # hr() emits html horizontal rule: <HR> print p("Please Select a flavor: ", textfield("flavor","mint")); print end_form, hr; } Invoked in perl you get the following: E:\Program Files\Apache_Group\Apache\cgi-bin>perl ice_cream.cgi Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML Basic 1.0//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-basic/xhtml-basic10.dtd";> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; lang="en-US"><head><title>Hello Ice Cream</title> </head><body><h1>Hello Ice Cream</h1><hr /><form method="post" action="/ice_cream.cgi" enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded"> <p>Please Select a flavor: <input type="text" name="flavor" value="mint" /></p></form><hr /> E:\Program Files\Apache_Group\Apache\cgi-bin> The Perl scripting works OK on the NT device. I have not enabled the ScriptInterpreterSource registry # Note you _must_not_ indent the actual shebang line, and it must be the # first line of the file. Of course, CGI processing must be enabled by # the appropriate ScriptAlias or Options ExecCGI directives for the files # or directory in question. # # However, Apache on Windows allows either the Unix behavior above, or can # use the Registry to match files by extention. The command to execute # a file of this type is retrieved from the registry by the same method as # the Windows Explorer would use to handle double-clicking on a file. # These script actions can be configured from the Windows Explorer View menu, # 'Folder Options', and reviewing the 'File Types' tab. Clicking the Edit # button allows you to modify the Actions, of which Apache 1.3 attempts to # perform the 'Open' Action, and failing that it will try the shebang line. # This behavior is subject to change in Apache release 2.0. # # Each mechanism has it's own specific security weaknesses, from the means # to run a program you didn't intend the website owner to invoke, and the # best method is a matter of great debate. # # To enable the this Windows specific behavior (and therefore -disable- the # equivilant Unix behavior), uncomment the following directive: # #ScriptInterpreterSource registry # --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
