*_Configuration_*
CentOS 5.4
Apache 2.2.3
Perl 5
root directory for web site /var/www/html/locks (locks is the name of
the web site home directory)
path for CGI-BIN directory /var/www/cgi-bin
path for perl /usr/bin/perl
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
Sorry, that was a brain mis-fire, my bad.
And what surprises me, is that after staring at this for 3 days, that I
actually even caught that one
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
Sounds like there is something missing that the script is calling.
Have you checked to make sure all the required binaries are present?
Perhaps there is a perl module that needs to be installed?
What is surprising me, is that the basic script that I listed above, is
failing also (but ONLY from the browser). That is why I suspect the
apache configuration
Hth,
perhaps there is another solution to this problem. What I am attempting
to do, is to create a secure section of the web site (password
required) If anyone can suggest another non-perl program that will
allow an authorized person to add or remove users, and allow the user to
retrieve / change their information as needed, let me know about it and
I will give it a try.
Thanks
Darcy
