Hi guys,

I'm having some issues with getting CGI to work, in the browser I get the above issue, in the logs I get
Code:
AH01215: (13)Permission denied: exec of '/var/www/html/test/perltest.cgi' failed
And
End of script output before headers: perltest.cgi

Regarding the permissions and directory structure, I have set up the Apache2 config to look like this
Apache2.conf
Code:

<Directory /var/www/>
   Options +Indexes +FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI
   AllowOverride None
   Order allow,deny
   Require all granted
   Allow from all
   AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
</Directory>

Sites available.conf

Code:

Alias /cgi-bin /var/www/
<Directory /var/www/>
AddHandler cgi-script cgi pl
Options ExecCGI
</Directory>


All permissions are set to www-data
perltest.cgi
Code:

#!/usr/local/bin/perl

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print '<html>';
print '<head>';
print '<meta name="author" content="Kay Vogelgesang">';
print '<link href="/xampp/xampp.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">';
print '</head>';
print "<body>&nbsp;<p><h1>GCI with MiniPerl</h1>";
print  "CGI with MiniPerl is ready ...</body></html>";


Any ideas?

What is the chmod value of that file? Is it executeable? Is it saved with the correct line endings ( linux and not Windows) ?

The box is currently off for upgrades, I'll check and report back once I have the box up and running.

The script was copied over from a Windows (xampp) install, how would I end the file accordingly?

The line endings

Code:

sed 's/^M$//' windows.txt > unix.txt


In doubt use chmod +x
