I'm a newbie to Apache and throwing myself on the wisdom of the list. I'm running FreeBSD6.2 in a jail with Apache 2.2.6.The basic set-up works but I'm having problems with dynamic HTML and cgi scripts. I'm using perl for my testing.
Going through the HowTo I can invoke the script as a direct URL.I can make a tag with an href of "/cgi-bin/xxx.pl" and clicking on the link brings up the script's result. So it looks like I have the CGI rules configured correctly.
But no matter what I've tried I can't get the text into the HTML page when it loads initially. I've tried:
#exec cgi="/cgi-bin/xxx.pl"and a number of tags that shouldn't and didn't work. All I see are the HTML tags. Including all my failed attempts as place holders for my stupidity.
I must be missing a config item somewhere but I can't see it. Config that I've update are: <IfModule alias_module> ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/usr/local/www/cgi-bin/" </IfModule> <IfModule mime_module> TypesConfig mime.types AddType application/x-compress .Z AddType application/x-gzip .gz .tgz AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl </IfModule> <Directory "/usr/local/www/cgi-bin/"> AllowOverride None Options +ExecCGI +Includes Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory>I don't believe I need the "+Includes" as I'm not doing anything with shtml at this point.
If anyone sees anything I've missed it would be great if they would enlighten my ignorance.
