Cygwin Interpreter

[ob2s]

Is it possible to use (win32) cygwin's bash shell in cgi ? Instead of running perl.exe you run bash.exe and set .sh as scripts to be run ? It seems to work somewhat I call this foo.sh or foo.cgi the result is the same.

#!/bin/bash
PATH=/cygdrive/c/windows/system32:/usr/bin:/bin
echo "Content-Type: text/html"
echo " "
echo " "
echo OK
echo OK |sed "s/K/G/g"
echo OK > foo.txt

I get the first OK, but then this

sed: -e expression #1, char 8: unknown option to `s'
y.sh: line 7: foo.txt^M: No such file or directory

so it doesn't seem to like the bash commands. Any advice besides dumping it and doing Perl ?
Thanks

ob2s,

The following error:

^M: No such file or directory

means that you are using the "CR"+"LF" end of line character (probably because you created your text file with a windows notepad).

In Linux systems, only the "LF" end of line character is supported.

To solve this issue, open your file with SciTE for example then go to :

View>End of Line (or simply click on Ctrl + Shift + 9)

Then you will see the "CR" and "LF" characters.

Remove all the "CR" characters.

It should be working now !!!

I dont know if you can use cygwin, but do yourself a favour, set up your PC
