chatroom/CGI/HTML Q's

<< < (3/4) > >>

Master of Reality:
whenever i tried to set-up the CGI for tha chatroom, when i clicked on it from teh browser, it would show the actual cgi file and not run it.

voidmain:
There is a line you have to uncomment  in the httpd.conf called:

AddHandler cgi-script .cgi

And make sure your Perl scripts end in *.cgi.

Master of Reality:
dont i also have to change the ScriptAlias stuff to change the location of my cgi-bin.

Master of Reality:
I made the directory '/var/www/html/cgi-bin' it has the same permissions as /var/www/cgi-bin but my browser says it cant fins the directory or file when trying to access bluechat.cgi which is in the cgi-bin.

voidmain:
I'm not sure why you have a /var/www/html/cgi-bin when you have a /var/www/cgi-bin.  What I normally do is make it so I can run CGI programs from anywhere under my web root.  You can do this in the section in the httpd.conf where the /var/www/html directory is defined.  There should be an "Options" tag.  I usually set it to:

Options All MultiViews ExecCGI

I also set:

AllowOverride All

which will allow you to use ".htaccess" files etc.  You should then be able to put CGI files anywhere under your web root and they will be executed.
