Hi Lee, Thanks for your reply. I tried the script you sent and it failed with "document contains no data". This is odd because I previously found that mod_perl API scripts ran ok but CGI scripts running under mod_perl failed.
The script printed some output in the log which I have attached below. I've also attached the earlier messages in the thread in case they might help. Any further comments much appreciated. George Savvides. Script output ============= I've edited the output, removing most of the HTML which is quite long, please let me know if I've left out something important.

I realise that this question has been asked before but I have not been able to find a reference to this particular behaviour in the manuals or newsgroups. Problem summary --------------- Scripts running under mod_perl fail. Netscape returns the popup 'The document contained no data' Nothing is printed in the browser window. Scripts that use the mod_perl api work OK. Example scripts --------------- The cgi script below fails. #!/usr/bin/perl -w print "Content-type: text/plain\n\n"; print "Hello World\n"; The mod_perl api script below works. my $r = Apache->request; $r->content_type("text/plain"); $r->send_http_header; $r->print("Hello World"); Script configuration -------------------- Alias /perlbin ${TOP}/perlbin PerlModule Apache::Registry <Location /perlbin> SetHandler perl-script Perlhandler Apache::Registry Options +ExecCGI allow from all PerlSendHeader On </Location> Machine config -------------- The cgi script fails on this box: FreeBSD 4.5-RELEASE-p23 Apache/1.3.27 perl-5.8.0 mod_perl-1.26 The same cgi script with the same script config works fine on this one: FreeBSD 4.5-RELEASE-p23 Apache/1.3.20 perl-5.005_03 mod_perl-1.26 It looks as if the CGI script is not returning its stdout to the browser but I can't for the life of me see why. Any help would be very much appreciated. George Savvides Reply from Stas Bekman ---------------------- What has error_log to say about this? Do you have the file perms right?
