Hello
I am in the process of rebuilding a web server for a non-profit
organization that I belong to. I ahve the site back up and running,
with the exception of a program that they use for password protecting a
members only section of the web site.
What is the problem? I can not get the perl scripts to run from a
browser. I have created simple perl scripts that I can run from the
command line, however, when I attempt to run them from a browser, it
will either type them out (instead of executing them) or give me a "500
Internal Server Error - The server encountered an internal error or
misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request"
I am fairly confident that the problem lays with giving apache
permission to the directory with the Perl - CGI scripts in it. I have
even tried (with no change to anything) to place the CGI-BIN folder
directly in the web site home directory. This made no difference. Same
errors. If need be, I can change or move almost anything on the server
that needs to be moved to get this working
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Darcy
*_Configuration_*
CentOS 5.4
Apache 2.2.3
Perl 5
root directory for web site /var/www/html/locks (locks is the name of
the web site home directory)
path for CGI-BIN directory /var/www/cgi-bin
path for perl /usr/bin/perl
permissions on the perl scripts are set to 755, and the CGI-BIN directory
I have verified that at the beginning of the scripts is the following
#!/usr/bin/perl
Excerpts from the httpd.conf file (If I haven't included the information
that you need, please ask)
