I'm exasperated. I've looked all over the web, and everywhere offers the same answers, yet the answer doesn't seem to work.
I'm trying to get perl/cgi working on my server so I can use bugzilla.
Here's some basic setup info:
Apache HTTP 2.2
Snippets from the config file:
| Code: | LoadModule cgi_module modules/mod_cgi.so
...
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI
AllowOverride None
AddHandler cgi-script cgi pl
</Directory>
...
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/var/www/cgi-bin/"
...
AddHandler cgi-script cgi |
Most other stuff seems unrelated, mostly default.
Now, I'm trying to run a basic .cgi file in my home directory.
Location: myserver.com/home.cgi
Script content:
| Code: | #!/usr/bin/perl
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "Hello, world!\n"; |
Script chmodded a+x
.htaccess contents:
| Code: | php_flag display_errors on
Options +FollowSymlinks +ExecCGI
AddHandler cgi-script cgi pl |
When I run the script in command line with ./hello.cgi, I get:
Content-type: text/html
Hello, world!
However, when I run it in my browser (http://www.myserver.com/hello.cgi) I get:
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator to inform of the time the error occurred and of anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
Now, all the sources I've found on the internet say to check the error logs. So, I check my error logs and I see nothing.
So, what's happening? Any ideas or help I get would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much for your help. |
