Hey, I have some non ASCII characters in my script which is causing my Apache server not able to run the script. My question is, how would I take out the non ASCII characters? I am going from a Windows box to a RHL box, and I tried uploading the file in ASCII mode but it didn't work. I really don't want to have to re-write the script.

Thanks

Edit: hopefully this is in the right forum topic, if not, sorry.

What kind of non ascii characters are you seeing? Try transfering the file over as binary.

Now do you see ^M at the end of each line? DOS text and unix EOL characters are different. DOS uses both a line feed and a carriage return but unix only uses a lf.

There probably is a program called dos2unix on your linux box. If not you can find it on the web.

It looks like I am not seeing any non ASCII characters. Okay, let me explain what has happened:

I have been getting a 500 error with Apache and the reason for that was the script... I found a script on the Internet and directly copied and pasted it into Kate and it worked. So I assumed that it was non ASCII characters that was causing the problem... Well, that doesnt look right. I looked opened the script in Kedit and I didnt see any characters that shouldnt be in it. I ran the script from the terminal, and it worked. Do you have any suggestions for what I should do?

Thanks

Can you post the script?

It works now... It was the way that I had the script layed out. Thanks for your help anyways.
