 Posted: Sun Aug 29, 2004 3:18 am Post subject: CGI program, 500 internal server error. |
 |
|
I have a web form with just a submit button. The code is as follows:
| Code: | <form action="cgi-bin/program.bash" method="post">
<input type="submit" />
</form> |
In program.bash I have the following:
| Code: | #!/bin/bash
echo 'Content-Type: text/html'
echo '<html><body>Boo</body></html>'
echo '' |
This all works perfectly.
But if I change cgi-bin/program.bash in the form to cgi-bin/program.cgi (a C++ binary) which has the following in it:
| Code: | #include <iostream>
int main() {
std::cout << "Content-Type: text/html\n" << "<html><body>Blah</body></html>\n";
return 0;
} |
I receive a 500 internal server error. Whats happening? Its the same program....
Thanks for your time,
Paul

Your CGI header is missing the empty line (which separates the Header from the body.) So change your code to (add another \n):
| Code: |
std::cout << "Content-Type: text/html\n\n" << "<html><body>Blah</body></html>\n";
|
[/code]
