Topic: Exec CGI files in CGI-BIN

[veryloco]

Does anyone know how to run .cgi files in an i-bay that has CGI enabled?  I have searched the forums for an answer, but no one seems to have posted it.  I have an index.html file in the html directory with a link to the .cgi file in cgi-bin.  I keep getting the internal server error when trying to access the .cgi file, even directly.  I have chmodded the .cgi as 755.  Does anyone have any ideas?  

Thanks for your help.

Did you do #chmod +x filename.pl

this makes it executable i believe

url for primary i-bay like: http://192.168.0.1/cgi-bin/mycgi
(dns works ? -> http://mysmeserver/cgi-bin/mycgi )

cgi MUST CONTAIN as first line (include the "#" !):

Code: [Select]

#!/usr/bin/perl -wT


Unless you have a specific reason:
owner: www
group: www
Permissions: 100750

logged in as root you (better?) make a script executable:

Code: [Select]

chmod a=r+w+x your_script_file_name

------------------------------------------------
note: use midnight commander (mc) to modify

Code: [Select]

Thanks for your replies.  It turns out that the -wT added at the top of the script is what is needed.  Thanks.
