I am trying to run a perl cgi script for the first time... under linux redhat8. my apache works fine. localhost gives me the test page. I have this script (very usual) #! /usr/bin/perl #!/usr/local/bin/perl # hello.pl - My first CGI program print "Content-Type: text/html\n\n"; # Note there is a newline between # this header and Data # Simple HTML code follows print "<html> <head>\n"; print "<title>Hello, world!</title>"; print "</head>\n"; print "<body>\n"; print "<h1>Hello, world!</h1>\n"; print "</body> </html>\n"; I have put this file at /html and /cgi-bin as a pl file as well as a cgi file... no way.. netscape displays the text content of the file, but does not execute the script. so it is just printing the whole textual content of the file... I have chmod 755 the file.. so... what do I have to change and where... please.. if I place the script at /cgi-bin then it gives me an error msgs forbiden.... so?Thread Previous | Thread Next
