How to run perl scripts outside cgi-bin?

xpucto · 04-12-2007, 10:07 AM

Hi!
I would like to run perl scripts outside my cgi-bin (if you ask why, have a look at my other thread).
so I put my scripts under

Quote:

/var/www/wikicalc

in httpd.conf I added:

Quote:

Alias /wikicalc /var/www/wikicalc

<Directory /var/www/wikicakc*>
<IfModule mod_perl.c>
<Files *.pl> # requires mod_perl
SetHandler perl-script
PerlResponseHandler ModPerl::PerlRun
PerlOptions +ParseHeaders
Options -Indexes +ExecCGI
</Files>
</IfModule>
Options +ExecCGI
AddHandler cgi-script .pl
<IfModule mod_expires.c>
ExpiresActive on
ExpiresDefault "now plus 0 seconds"
</IfModule>
</Directory>

and

Quote:

# To use CGI scripts outside of ScriptAliased directories:
# (You will also need to add "ExecCGI" to the "Options" directive.)
#
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi

but it doesn´t work. I try to run the perl script, the browser just shows me the code but doen´t run it. What did I forget?

If you cut and pasted this from your conf file, then at least one problem is that you have wikicakc instead of wicicalc in your Directory definition.

thanks. I corrected it. now it´s being compiled and I getting an Internal Server Error. I looked in error_logs and found this:

I do not understand what is the problem because, WKC.pm is in /var/www/wikicalc, so it should be found without problem. do I have to configure something in the perl environment?

I´m still looking around and I´m very surprised to have difficulty finding an answer to my problem. Does really have noone any advice?
