 Posted: Wed Nov 19, 2003 2:32 am Post subject: STILL Need Solution to 500 Problem! |
 |
|
I've scanned this forum in and out, and can't find a solution that solves my Error Code 500 problem on my CGI scripts. NOT ONE CGI Script works. Its in the right place, too. I don't know CGI, but I'm an experienced web programmer, and even downloaded CGI scripts from the Internet that do not work. When I ran my previous server, Sambar, the same exact thing occured. My modules and paths are set correctly. HELP!
Thanks a lot, I've had this server for a couple hours now and love it. |

Hi zz723--
Abyss *will* run cgi scripts...so the thing to do is know that you can get help here. People might need more information to be able to really help you.
Error 500 is one of the most hated and non-descript errors...smile.
First, have you installed perl and followed the directions here:
http://www.aprelium.com/abyssws/perl.html exactly? Probably you have.
What are you using as your shebang line (your path to perl)?
What kind of errors are you showing in your cgi.log file.
Supply some information and people will be able to help.
Regards,
Axis |

its all to do with setting up your paths to the script and allowing abyss to look for what it , meaning configuring it in abyss and everything should work.

Yes, AND I double-checked.

As of now, it is set to C:\Program Files\ActivePerl\bin\perl.exe This file does exist. I even tried switching the Path to the Perl module of my old server (In which Perl/CGI also did not work, same error), and I recieve 500 still.

I recieve a bunch of Perl/CGI Syntax Errors, yet scripts I've installed I got from the Internet, so they HAVE been tested. Here's the latest of my cgi.log:

I'm thinking that it has something to do with that 1st line, like it can't load what it wants to or something, so the other errors are drawn off of it.
Thanks a lot for all of your help! |

I think you are testing on a windows machine.
And your test.cgi is for unix or linux machines. since /bin/sh isn't recognized by windows.. isn't it?
try a simple perl test like this :
| Code: | #! /bin/perl.exe
echo "Hello World..." |
But before you try it as a CGI, execute the script directly from the command line by typing
Ensure that your perl's bin directory is in your win path (environment variables)[/code]

| Wow, that makes sense! What do I set that "usr/bin" thing to be if my Perl module is C:\Program Files\ActivePerl\bin\perl.exe and I'm executing from C:\Program Files\Abyss\whatever.exe |

dichaeld,
What is the problem you have? Is there an error log in log/cgi.log?
Have you installed Perl as described in http://www.aprelium.com/abyssws/perl.html ? If you've done so, usually you can ignore the #! line.
