RE: [users@httpd] cgi scripts not running

If I have <FORM METHOD=POST ACTION=""     the error is    The file /var/www/html/cgi-bin/mycgi.cgi cannot be found

 

If I have <FORM METHOD=POST ACTION=""     the error is    The file /var/www/html/mycgi.cgi cannot be found

 

If I have <FORM METHOD=POST ACTION=""  the error is  The file /cgi-bin/mycgi.cgi cannot be found

 

So how do I get it to look in /var/www/cgi-bin   

 

I’ve put  ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/  “/var/www/cgi-bin/”  in the config file, dosen’t this do it?

 

 

Thanks

 

Stephen

Stephen,

I think the answer may be that you have: <FORM METHOD=POST ACTION="">

When called from the page that has the form on it... it is looking for the mycgi.cgi file in: /var/www/html/cgi-bin

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks,

Kevin

 

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
