Hi! My best wishes for all of you!
I have what I consider a simple question
about Apache and Perl.
¿How do I get my Hello World script
to run into my browser?
Maybe my config is not good; so here's the
procedure I followed:
1- I installed "apache_1.3.20-win32.msi"
(Apache Ver 1.3 Win32) into the dir: "c:\Apache\"
2-Because I´m in a single machine (No LAN, No
Domain) I configured the "httpd.conf" as follows:
-I put absolute paths in the
first section (Like "C:/Apache/")
-I put "Server Name:127.0.0.1"
(Cause I´m not in a Network so it´s suppose to be the localhost)
-I check the config with
"apache.exe -t" and The Sintax were OK.
3-I install "ActivePerl-5.6.1.631.msi" in
"C:\Apache\Perl" and then tested in the command line with:
C:\Apache\Perl\eg\>perl
example.pl
And it printed
correctly the "Hello World" FROM THE MSDOS WINDOW (So the paths are
OK)
4-Then I modified again my "httpd.conf"
as follows:
AddHandler cgi-script .pl
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "C:/Apache/cgi-bin/" Then I checked
sintax with NO PROBLEMS.
5-At last, I create a test file in
"C:\Apache\cgi-bin\" and named "HelloCGI.pl" with the content:
#!C:\Apache\Perl\bin\perl.exe
use CGI qw(:standard) ; print header(); print "Hello, world"; 6-But when I try to open it with
IExplorer 5.5, IT LAUNCHES THE MSDOS WINDOW, prints the HTML header and
the
"Hello World" string
in the MSDOS Window and then closes. BUT IT NEVER PUT "Hello World" In my
browser.
7- I try it also with the pop-up
window over "HelloCGI.pl" and choosing "Open with... IExplorer" But it try to
DOWNLOAD
the file
instead of open it.
8- At last, I change my script with
the example of the Apache GCI Documentation:
#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Content-type: text/html\r\n\r\n"; print "Hello, World."; Nothing happend! It also works fine only in
the command line window.
NOTE: After installing Perl and Apache, I
restarted my system, I verified the paths and in all the procedure the Apache
server was running.
SO, PLEASE help
me!!!!! |
