1. make sure that the permissions on the file are set correctly (755 typically) 2. make sure that the AddHandler for cgi is set should you be executing it outside of a scriptasliased directory and that the ExecCGI option is set for that directory. 3. if you get a 500 error, always check your error_log, it is quite helpful. -Tobias -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of IS Manager Sent: Monday, April 26, 2004 9:45 AM To: 'General Red Hat Linux discussion list' Subject: Perl / Apache on RH9.0 not working. After a complete re-install of RH to v9.0 I can't get even the simplest of perl scripts to work in Apache. If I set the bang to -w the script will work but if it is not set then then I get this: -------------------------------- Server error! The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request. Error message: Premature end of script headers: hello.cgi If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster Error 500 [site url] Mon 26 Apr 2004 12:36:41 PM CDT Apache/2.0.40 (Red Hat Linux) --------------------------------- The script in question is this: -------------------------------- #!/usr/bin/perl # print <<EOP; Content-type: text/html <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <title>Hello World!</title> </head> <body> <p>Hello World!</p> </body> </html> EOP -------------------------------- Can't get any simpler than that. So anyone know what's wrong? This is the first time I"ve used Apache 2.0 so I'm not sure if this is an Apache or a Perl issue.
