It should mean (I think) that the script "simpletest.pl" as found in the C:/Program Files/Apache Gruop/Apache2/cgi-bin/ path is referring to a file (and/or path) inside of it's souce code that doesn't exist on the host machine. Because the un-found path does not exist, the script can't run.. because the script can't run ... it can't be created as a child process. Perl is *parsed* for errors prior to execution. So, it's in that moment before execution that it checks to see that everything is right so that it will be executed. Broming plutonium wrote:
Hi all,If you are going to reply to this email, please send the reply directly to my email address, not to the mailing list. I use the digest version. I thought I'd want to add some CGI scripts to my website yesterday. I followed the documentation, and created a test page that should print "Hello World!" to the screen. When I executed the script by typing http://24.156.102.171/cgi-bin/simplest.pl, I get "500 Internal Server Error". When I checked my error logs, I found these two entries: [Fri Feb 25 19:43:23 2005] [error] [client 192.168.1.6] (OS 3)The system cannot find the path specified. : couldn't create child process: 720003: simplest.pl [Fri Feb 25 19:43:23 2005] [error] [client 192.168.1.6] (OS 3)The system cannot find the path specified. : couldn't spawn child process: C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/cgi-bin/simplest.pl Could anyone tell me what those mean? Feel free to try my test page out at http://24.156.102.171/cgi-bin/simplest.pl. Could anyone tell me how to fix the problem? I am a newbie. Help is appreciated, and so are comments and suggestions.
