################# Vhosts.conf
################# Vhosts.conf
#This is where we store the VirtualHosts configuration.
#
#Since Apache 1.3.19, we modified the setup to include some nice tricks:
#
#- We added the User and Group directives so VirtualHosts now work with
# suexec directive. If set, Apache will run all cgi scripts under that
# user and group (provided the uid and gid are > 100 for security). The
# directories and cgi files *must* belong to that user/group for the
# feature to work
#- We added the Setenv VLOG directive. This works in conjunction with
# the CustomLog in common.conf. When Setenv VLOG is set, apache will
# create a /var/log/httpd/VLOG-YYYY-MM-<ServerName>.log instead of logging
# to access_log. Use this instead of defining a special logfile for
# each vhost, otherwise you eat up file descriptors.
#- You can also specify a path for the VLOG for each Vhost, for example,
# to place the logs in each user's directory. However, if you want to
# use the file for accounting, place it in a directory owned by root,
# otherwise the user will be able to erase it.
#- I suggest only including the ErrorLog *only* if the vhost will use
# cgi scripts. Again, it saves file descriptors!
#- We added the Rewrite directives so vhosts will work with the
# PERLPROXIED configuration

This is in my conf Apache. Permission is set and root is an owner in the jurek home dir exep the public_html.the resst is 755 like: bin etc lib etc.


Thanks for you help.

It looks like you have apache configured correctly. The problem seems to be with the script. The error message doesn't help much because all it means is that the server couldn't read the shebang for one reason or another. If the shebang is correct, then the problem may be with control characters like ^M. This usually happens when you download a file from Windows or a file that was zipped using winzip and then unzipped on a linux machine.

I guess that hello.cgi is a shell script... may be 'ls -l'?

1. I think apache will not allow you run shell scripts, not sure.. but I never be able to do it.

2. if this is possible, firsts line to show to the page is:

Content-type: text/html

so first 2 lines of your script should be:

#!/bin/sh
echo &quot;Content-type: text/html&quot;

... code here..

But I insists, I don't think you can run a shell script.

It is Perl Script and it still donesn't work. The same problem

 

[predamarcel]

your perl script should send somewhere after headersan empty lines (it'a about HTTP protocol).
So, a script should look like:

#!/usr/bin/perl
print &quot;Content-type: text/html&quot;;
# the empty line
print &quot;\n\n&quot;;

print &quot;CONTENT&quot;;
