Cgi Problems

[bleerigsby]

When I try and runn my test.cgi script I get an internl server error! Everything else seems to be working fine. Any idea of what could cause this?

make sure you upload the script as ASCII NOT binary
and then give it a run permission

sometimes thats what every one forgets, maybe yours is the same thing

I tried what you said and still getting error. I also tried /scripts/fixsuexeccgiscripts. But still get the 500 internal server error

http://www.groupffa.com/cgi-bin/test.cgi

It is just a test script that puts welcome in big letters if it works

Thats what I would do:

I will first delete the file from server,
then I will make sure script is correct,
include path is correct in script

then I will upload the script using wsftp(or ..) mode ASCII.
then will give it a 755 perm.

If you still had a problem shoot me a pm containing your script.

If you have suExec enabled, even the directory the script is in needs to be chmod 755. If it still doesn't work, run the script and then do 'tail /usr/local/apache/logs/suexec_log' to see if there are any errors there. Also, I would double check the path to perl (first line of your script).

#!/usr/bin/perl

print &content-type: text/html\n\n&;
print &Welcome&;


Done forget the print &content-type: text/html\n\n&; or it wont work.... if you wanted to make the text larger you could just do like....

#!/usr/bin/perl

print &content-type: text/html\n\n&;
print &&p&&font size=\&7\&&Welcome&/font&&/p&&;


or

#!/usr/bin/perl

print &content-type: text/html\n\n&;
print '&p&&font size=&7&&Welcome&/font&&/p&';


Make sure the script is owned by the correct user and has the perms of 750 (755 will work but i dont like 755 because of security reasons).

The first place to look is at your error log. What does it say? It's better to start there than to have everybody take guesses at what the issue might be.
