Hi,

I've run perl/cgi scripts on a shared server for a few years and recently set up and configured my own server.

I installed two of my old cgi scripts on my new server but can't get either of them to run.

Is there a way I can check to see if I have perl and my cgi-bin set up correctly? I use Red Hat Linux 7.3, perl v5.6.1 and Apache 1.3.23 web server software.

Any suggested linux commands or settings info for my apache httpd.conf would be appreciated.

ALso, do I need mod_perl to run cgi scripts?

1) Check your Perl path in your cgi scripts and verify your Perl path on your server.

2) In terms of mod_perl, depending on what your scripts depended upon in the past, not necessarily. Meaning that if your scripts ran fine without mod_perl than you don't need it on your new server.
========================================
Buh Bye!

Cheers,
Me

Yes I did check the path and it's OK - /usr/bin/perl, and the path on the scripts is OK too, still does not work.

What does your error log say?

Apache, by default should allow cgi scripts to run in the cgi-bin. Have you changed any settings?
