yes ! but it looks weird even some simple cgi script that will show message
"hello" doesnt work.
here's my server error log:
[error] (8)Exec format error: exec of /home/httpd/cgi-bin/test.cgi
[error]premature end of script headers: /home/httpd/cgi-bin/test.cgi
and heres my samplecgi file config (/home/httpd/cgi-bin/test.cgi):
#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "Hello World!!\n";
exit;
and heres my html file (/home/httpd/html/test.htm):
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Hello World CGI Script</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<A HREF="http://insert.path.to.your.script.here/";>Say hello to
the world!</A>
</BODY>
</HTML>
