hello all .....,
this is my second post with this issue i posted before in the programming forum and i didnot get the answers so i hope to find it here

i want to configure perl with apache 2 to make me able to write cgi programs and simply i have apche2 installed and also i have perl installed and i was writing perl programs and i got the output by the shell and i want to get it by browser so i but this lines on the httpd.conf file

PHP Code:
   ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/usr/local/apache/cgi-bin/" 

PHP Code:
 <Directory "/usr/local/apache2/cgi-bin">
    AllowOverride None
    Options None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory> 
and when i want to run the program from abrowser like that

http://localhost/cgi-bin/hello.cgi

You must make that your cgi-bin script is executable:
Code:
chmod +x /usr/local/apache2/cgi-bin/hello.cgi

still having the same error :S

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /cgi-bin/test.cgi on this server.

i want to know what about adding mod_perl to apache how can it be done ? .... and itis an important to make perl working with apache ?

Now that I looked better your config you have an error in the path of your cgi directory:
Quote:
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/usr/local/apache/cgi-bin/"
vs
Quote:
<Directory "/usr/local/apache2/cgi-bin">
Note the 2 after apache.

So you made:
Code:
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/usr/local/apache2/cgi-bin/"
and still not working?
If you want to debug the "Internal Server Error", use the documentation provided by apache.
