 |
|
I am getting 500 server errors when I try to execute a C program.
Installed Abyss, placed CGITEST.EXE program (simple CGI program in C) in cgi-bin directory. Configured ABYSS to CGI Processing YES, added CGI Interpreter as: cgi-bin/cgitest.exe extension: .exe
Created index.html to post a form METHOD=GET to
127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/cgitest.exe.
When I execute the index.html page I get server 500 errors with nothing in the cgi.log file.
I think I don't understand the assigning an extension to an interpreter correctly. Any help on what I'm doing wrong?
Much Appreciated.
Thanks! |

This is not related to assigning extensions to interpreters. Your CGI executable can run without that.
Error 500 happens because your program doesn't conform to the CGI standard (this is the cause in 90% of the cases.)
To help you, please post here the source of your C program and we will tell you what's wrong.

Found the problem - I was incorrectly sending the CR/LF pair at the end of my 'Content-Type:text/html...'. Was sending them as HEX 13/10 instead of decimal.
I incorrectly thought that any malformed response would be sent to the browser and then viewable via 'view source'.
Thanks again for show me the path... |
