./picture.cgi won't run....

papageorgio02 · 08-28-2003, 06:52 PM

When I try to run this script from the command line i get this....

[nllarson@localhost cgi-bin]$ ./picture.cgi
: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

but if I do...

[nllarson@localhost cgi-bin]$ perl picture.cgi

It runs great.....

the permissions are ok....
-rwxr-xr-x 1 nllarson nllarson 16617 Aug 27 19:32 picture.cgi

shebang line seems to be ok....
#!/usr/bin/perl

....any one have any ideas????

do whereis perl and use the correct path to perl returned by that command in your shebang.

thanks for the replies guys...

I figured it out though.....

I originally downloaded it as a zipped file straight to my RH box. Then I read somewhere that certain files need to be put to your webserver as ASCII instead of Binary...so downloaded the script again, but this time to my windows machine, unzipped and FTP'd to my RH box as ASCII....and worked perfectly from there.....

thanks...
