cgi/pl won't exec

cycocool · 07-12-2009, 03:01 AM

so i've tried to setup a file upload cgi, using perl.

I've made sure that perl, mod_cgi and the httpd.conf are all in order, i have also checked with apache themselves to make sure i was doing it right and have enetered the script alias variables to make sure that anything in the cgi-bin will be exec (but it doesnt) have also made sure i have chmod to 755 and the html form's action url is correct, Click the link to see what happens:

http://www.cad-e-domain.com/form.html

i'm not sure what else i should be doing, if anything! Would appraeciate any help anyone could give me. Should also mention *.pl files wont exec either.

The link doesn't work. Here are some things to check until you fix it:
Make sure since it's an upload script, that the apache user can write in the destination directory. Check also the SELinux settings.
Check the apache error_log for hints.
Look at the 1st line of the script to see if you have the correct shebang: "#!/usr/bin/perl".
Try to run the script directly and see what you get:

Code:

perl /path/to/cgi-bin/upload.pl
