Apache/2.0.52 (CentOS) Server at * * * * * * Port 80


BUT WHEN I RUN HELLO WORLD, It works fine no error message

#!/usr/bin/perl -wT
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "Hello, world!\n";

 

Did you make the script executable? Is there anything in the Apache error log?

Does /var/www/cgi-bin exist, and did you put your file in there?

Centos4.2 CGI error

Hi Flako,
thanks for your helps.
I solved my problem.
I convert my cgi script to unix format. now is working.

The same cgi script working with centos 3.4 no problem.
but centos 4.2 not working.
you have any idea about this format problem?

 

You mean you converted Windows linebreaks to Unix linebreaks? But then you should have gotten errors when running that script on the command line with Windows linebreaks...
