Apache Perl Problem..

Hi there,

I have a product which is designed for windows (it installs apache + modperl) and runs itself as a server.

I have compiled apache and mod_perl on slackware linux, everything works except the user login. This throws up the following error in error_log.

[Tue Mar 22 12:24:01 2005] [error] (2)No such file or directory: exec of /usr/local/apache/htdocs/champs/champscgi/users.cgi failed
[Tue Mar 22 12:24:01 2005] [error] [client 10.12.113.55] Premature end of script headers: /usr/local/apache/htdocs/champs/champscgi/users.cgi

Any ideas? - The file DOES exist.

Here is the top of the file itself.

Code:

#!perl -w

print "Content-type: text/plain\n\n";



$var = $ENV{'QUERY_STRING'};



#$len = length($var);



#Pickup the user name



$u=index($var,"username=");

$u1=$u + 9;

$u2=index($var,"&",$u1);

$u3=$u2-$u1;

$usr=lc(substr($var,$u1,$u3));

#print ("User $usr");

Thank you in advance!

Is that first line of your script the proper path to your Perl binary? Typically this is something like "/usr/bin/perl".

You also need to make sure the script has execute rights... like chmod a+x users.cgi (this gives everyone execute rights -- probably a security risk)

I'm not sure, but I thought someplace I heard that dos line endings (CR LF) could cause problems, you can try switching to just unix line endings (just CR I think, but dont recall exactly)
