couldn't spawn the child process

[thendal]

Hi all!

I have installed the apache webserver and active state perl
in my laptop which is having windows 2000.when i try to run a perl script,it gives a internal server error the perl script is very simple,

just having a print statement ..when i look into the error log it states that couldn't spawn the child process ...

Is there any setting i need to change...


here is the script


#!c:\perl\bin\perl.exe
use CGI;
$op=new CGI;
print $op->header;
print &quot;<h1>This is a Test</h1>&quot;;

Any help will be appriciated..

Thanks

It sounds like you have a configuration problem in your web server. Tracy Dryden

Sorry, I'm way behind in installing web servers on M$ platforms....
However, I think Tracy is probably on the right track. If you have not already, I think you need to add the 'ExecCGI' option the the 'options' directive in your httpd.conf file. That is all I had to do to get CGI to work on the M$ NT box on which I now type. You should be able to do that and then test it with the simplest CGI in faq452-653.

Sorry to have taken so long to respond. I was hoping there would be someone more update than I.
