Any one who can show me a simple starting perl form upload script

Google can show you. Try there first...plenty of examples can be easily found.

If you have a specific problem/question with your code, we'll be happy to help. But, based on your other threads, I'll not be looking things up for you.

i have installed apache2 and by entering 127.0.0.1 or type localhost in the browser it shows, 'it works'.
now my apache 2 is running, but after i create a file upload form using perl and i want to veiw it using 127.0.0.1, how do i do it
apache is totally new to me
please a good detailed answer will surely help me....

And a good, detailed QUESTION would help us answer you. Saying you're using a perl program and want to 'view' it, tells us nothing. What content are you creating with the perl program? How do you want it displayed?

At this point, this is NOTHING to do with Apache...this is a question about web-programming, and rendering content. I suggest you start by looking into html/php programming how-to's (again, start with Google), and figure out what it is you want to accomplish. There are THOUSANDS of sample pages/scripts/programs you can easily find.

i want to veiw my html form script or my perl form script at the localhost.

and the answer, if i move my perl form upload script or html form script to /var/www ,
i can veiw it at local server by 127.0.0.1/filename.

how is it.

Still no idea what you're trying to do. If all you want to do is view the contents of a text-file (a perl script in this case), and you already CAN view it by entering the file name, what's your question?? AGAIN, if you want to EXECUTE the file, you need to put it in your cgi-bin directory.

And don't post the same question in multiple threads. Same answers were given here:
https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...alhost-942718/

where is the cgi-bin directory located in ubuntu11.04

Wherever you set it to be when you installed Apache. Usually one directory level up from where your htdocs are stored.

Why are you doing this? What are you hoping to accomplish by using this upload form?

Moved: This thread is more suitable in <PROGRAMMING> and has been moved accordingly to help your thread/question get the exposure it deserves.

Maybe this: http://search.cpan.org/~hank/Form-Pr...m/Processor.pm is a good start - there are links to other related modules.

right said, this is programming. and i directly downloaded apache from command line,
without any interruptions or options

I think people are troubled by the ambiguity in your question.
"i create a file upload form using perl and i want to veiw it".
There are many things that the question can mean, depending on what and how you want to view. The usual case for a combination involving Perl, Apache, upload forms, and viewing is that you have a Perl script which generates an HTLM form that allows an HTTP client (web browser, typically) to upload upload one or more files to a web server. In such a case, the Perl script is normally installed in the cgi-bin directory of a suitably configured Apache web server. A browser then fetches the HTML form by requesting the cgi-bin URL (you Perl script) from the web server (doesn't matter whether the URL is on localhost). The Perl script then replies with an HTML form that allows the user to specify files to upload. The browser then submits the form, and the same or another Perl script handles the file upload.
If this is not the scenario that you are trying to understand, then please clarify for us. If this is the correct scenario, then as others have posted, Google can easily find many examples of how to do this, with explanations that clearly describe the related details.

Yes, you store your HTML files (these are not scripts) in the /var/www, and Perl and other CGI scripts in /var/www/cgi-bin. The Apache web server can optionally be configured to use other directories, but I believe these are the current standards. Your Perl scripts do not store HTML files, but rather output them to their standard out stream, where the server relays them to the connected browser. There is little or nothing about any of this that is Apache-specific, so focusing your research on that will limit the results. I did a Google search for "perl cgi upload file example", which yielded a good number of promising results. If you need help on specific Apache matters, the Apache web site should be your best resource.
