Hello Mark. Tried replacing <Directory “/var/www/cgi-bin/”> with <Directory “/var/www/cgi-bin”> Looking thro the Apache docs it should be <Directory “/var/www/cgi-bin”> And The +ExecCGI as far as I can tell is not needed as there is
only one option within <Directory “/var/www/cgi-bin”> so it’s
the most specific one. But I did try it anyway! I’ve been trying various things ; I can http://localhost/cgi-bin/mycgi.cgi
and see the script run correctly However, viewing the html file that invokes the script named
by ACTION gives the error message The file
/cgi-bin/mycgi.cgi cannot be found The complete line is <FORM METHOD=POST ACTION=""> I’ve tried putting a / infront of
the cgi-bin/mycgi.cgi by the way Document_root=/var/www/html Cgi-bin =/var/www/cgi-bin Shebang line is ok, the script works from command line Thanks for you help, I’ll happily try any other
suggestions Stephen -----Original Message----- Allso is <Directory “/var/www/cgi-bin/”> Options ExecCGI the same as <Directory “/var/www/cgi-bin”> Options +ExecCGI Try replacing <Directory “/var/www/cgi-bin/”> with <Directory “/var/www/cgi-bin”> Thanks Wesley for your reply. Unfortunately that not it, the script has the extension .cgi I find it a bit odd that unless I put the entire path in my web page,
the script cannot be found. i.e. I have to put
ACTION="" instead of ACTION="" or ACTION=""> what do you think? Stephen From: Craft, Wesley [mailto:Wesley.Craft@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: 29 July 2005 20:40 To: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: [users@httpd] cgi scripts not running This might be a shot in the dark, but in your first post you mention
that you are running Bash scripts. Did you name those scripts with a .sh extension? If yes, you’ll need to include .sh in your ‘AddHandler’
line after the .cgi. Wesley -----Original Message----- From: Stephen Elmer [mailto:Stephen.Elmer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, July 29, 2005 3:28 PM To: 'users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: [users@httpd] cgi scripts not running I cannot get my cgi scripts to run; the script is displayed in the web browser instead. I presume the problem is that the cgi directory is not recognised as a directory containing scripts. I have checked httpd.conf for: ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ “/var/www/cgi-bin/” I do wonder if this line is being seen, unless I put the entire path in
my script the file cannot be found. I have also tried adding AddHandler cgi-script .cgi and checked that an Option directive is included: <Directory “/var/www/cgi-bin/”> Options ExecCGI AllowOverride None Allow from all Order allow,deny </Directory> just to see if that would work, but it does not L I’ve checked that the scripts are set as executable and are
executable by others (i.e. everyone) I’ve run apachectl configtest gives Syntax ok What I’m I doing wrong, any suggestion would be most greatly
appreciated! I am using Fedora Core 3, Apache 2.0 Many thanks Stephen -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus. Version: 7.0.338 / Virus Database: 267.9.7/60 - Release Date:
