How to start perl script using FCGID module

[Ananya Dey <ananyadey.95@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I am trying to run a perl script using fcgid module.

I have loaded mod_fcgid module.

I have created a directory in apache called fcgi-bin and added the below snippet to my httpd.conf file.

<Directory '/home/ananya/apache-http-connector/apache-2.4.29/fcgi-bin/'>

AddHandler fcgid-script .pl

AllowOverride All

Options +Indexes +FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI

Require all granted

</Directory>

And have also added -

ScriptAlias /fcgi-bin/ '/home/ananya/apache-http-connector/apache-2.4.29/fcgi-bin/'

My perl program is a simple hello world programme as follows-

#!/usr/bin/perl

print("Content-Type: text/plain\n\n");

print "Hello world";

But the problem that I am facing is that the 'Hello World' output is getting printed in my Apache error logs and not in the browser as a perl script. Can someone please help me out with this?

Thanks

Ananya
