permissions on the perl scripts are set to 755, and the CGI-BIN directory
755 should give full access to the owner, read and execute to group and
others, so even if the APACHE user does not have ownership, it should
fall under the "other" permissions
Does the webserver uid have ownership of this folder and the files
within? Under Debian the apache user is called www-data. If the
folder/files are owned by another user, the permissions you listed will
prevent the perl scripts from executing.
One of the test scripts that I had written was owned by apache (that is
the apache user), but I have changed ownership of the entire CGI-BIN
directory and tried it. No change
It might be a good idea to make sure that there are no extended ACLs
getting in the way.
Have you had a look in /var/log/apache2/error.log? Usually there are04
more verbose error messages in there.
yes, I have. What they are saying for the test scripts is;
malformed header from script. Bad header=This is a test so see if
this works : darcy2.pl
what I have in that script is
#!/usr/bin/perl
print"This is a test to see if this works \n";
It works fine from the command line, but not from the browser
From the script for the password program, when I run it from the
browser, I get
(2)No such file or directory: exec of
'/var/www/cgi-bin/batchsetup.cgi' failed
Premature end of script headers: batchsetup.cgi
I'm so confused about this,
Darcy
I have verified that at the beginning of the scripts is the following
#!/usr/bin/perl
Make sure that this accurately reflects where perl is installed. At the
very least there needs to be a symlink in this location which points to
the correct location.
You also need to make sure that Apache knows to execute perl scripts. I
avoid perl like the plague but I have seen similar issues with PHP when
I did not enable and configure the PHP module.
Hth,
