- cgi-script problem
- Posted by imhotep85@hotmail.co.uk on August 30th, 2006
Hey,
Sorry this is probably an obvious error on my behalf but i cant find
the answer. I've weitten my first cgi-script, written the form it post
the information to it but on clicking submit instead of invoking the
script it lets me try and save or open it. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.
P.S. I've got apache installed and running ok the log says the POST is
happening fine.

Then post some code to it.
What you describe happens all the time, for several bizarre reasons, and an
on-topic group will be much more likely to read your code and help!

You need to put scripts in the "cgi-bin" directory.

I'm sure it was a typo, but executable is
chmod +x <filenames>

I was not winking about leading the OP astray. +w is a stupid typo I make
all the time.
The winki referred to the absurdly huge number of ways one can screw up CGI
and get the wrong output, during the setup phase of a web site.
This thread has listed several, inadvertantly including my typo.

cgi-script problem's a cool scene! Dig it!
Could be any of a number of things.
Is it set up to run CGI scripts from any directory? Is it set up to
run CGI scripts at all? Do you have suexec installed? What are the
permissions on the script? What version of Apache do you have?
