Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

Hi, very new to linux here. I have a fresh install of Fedora Core 1 and I went into service and started Apache. I get the startup Apache page showing that it is working.
My question is if I put a .cgi file in the cgi-bin I can't it to do anything.
What exactly do i need to do. I have tried following online tutorials that I have found and created the test.pl files that suggest and put them in and still nothing.
Like I said I just reinstallled everything so its fresh and all I have done so far is start apache. Could someone help walk me through what I need to do.
What gets displayed in your browser when you try to run the CGI script? Look at your Apache error log (I think by default it's in /var/log/httpd/error_log) and see what it says. Make sure that the user the Apache server runs under has read and execute permissions on the CGI script, too. This is probably the problem if you forgot to chmod +x your script.
