What are the permissions of your cgi-bin directory and the script?You say that your script has the .cgi extension but your error message is refering to a .pl extension!?
What is the name of your file? /cgi-bin/perl/routers2.pl or /cgi-bin/perl/routers2.cgi ?
Where is your cgi-bin? Is it /var/www/cgi-bin or /var/cgi-bin Why do you have a sub-directory /cgi-bin/perl/ ?what are you typing into your browsers address bar? http://DomainName/cgi-bin/FileName or http://DomainName/cgi-bin/perl/FileName ?
Sample code for a httpd.conf file for a cgi-bin: ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/var/www/cgi-bin/" <Directory "/var/www/cgi-bin"> AllowOverride None Options +ExecCGI +Includes -indexes Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> <Location /cgi-bin> AllowOverride None Options +ExecCGI +Includes -indexes SetHandler cgi-script </Location> Try testing a simple perl script, get this to work correctly then move on. Create a script called test.cgi and place the following code within it: ####################### #!/usr/bin/perl print "content-type:text/html\n\n"; print "Hello World!"; ########################place this in your /cgi-bin/ directory change its permissions to 775 and try loading it into your browser using http://DomainName/cgi-bin/test.cgi

I installed mod_perl from the package that was distributed with OpenBSD 4.0. The install didn't give any errors, so I have to assume it installed properly. As far as I can tell, it didn't make any configuration changes. Just placing the script in my CGI directory (and removing the #!/usr/bin/perl line) gives "[error] (8)Exec format error: exec of /cgi-bin/perl/routers2.pl failed".----------------------------------------------- Israel Brewster Computer Support Technician Frontier Flying Service INC. 5245 Airport Industrial Rd Fairbanks, AK 99709 ----------------------------------------------- On Jan 10, 2007, at 1:39 PM, Serge Dubrouski wrote:For this configuration you need to have mod_perl installed on your server.

I am running Apache 1.3.29 on an OpenBSD 4.0 system, with Apache chrooted to /var/www. I have a perl script CGI (it has the .cgi extention, not .pl, but is actually a perl script) that I need to run. Currently, the script is written to run using the system perl interpreter, with the first line of the script being #!/ usr/bin/perl This obviously doesn't work, since when it runs as a CGI it is chrooted to /var/www, and can not see /usr/bin. Now I would think that Apache should be able to run this script using the perl module, which I have installed, but I can't seem to get it to work. Could someone point me to something that tells me how to properly enable/run perl scripts in Apache? I looked at mod_perl website, but all it says is to add a code block like the following: Alias /perl/ /home/httpd/perl/ PerlModule Apache::Registry <Location /perl> SetHandler perl-script PerlHandler Apache::Registry Options ExecCGI allow from all PerlSendHeader On </Location> which just gives me an 'Invalid command 'PerlModule' This would imply to me that mod_perl isn't being loaded, in spite of being installed, but that leaves me needing to know how to load the perl module. Adding a line like LoadModule mod_perl /usr/local/lib/mod_perl.so (which is the correct path to the mod_perl.so file) just gives me a "Can't locate API module structure `mod_perl' in file /usr/local/lib/ mod_perl.so: Unable to resolve symbol" What am I missing here? How can I get Apache to run perl scripts?
