SSI Error in directive exec in line 38: Internal Server Erro

[zhao]

Hi..

Got the same dummy questions.. the CGI / perl doesn't work

Yes, I have already read and followed the instructions on
http://www.aprelium.com/abyssws/perl.html

installed the perl
at c:\perl\bin\perl.exe

added the following line to index.html (renamed to x.shtml)

<!--#exec cgi="/cgi-bin/count.pl"--> visits..

and my count.pl is

#******** BEGIN BODY ********
open (GETCOUNT,"<count.log"); #open count log for input
$counter=<GETCOUNT>; #assign contents of file to $counter
close (GETCOUNT); #close access to file


$counter++; #increase $counter by 1.
print "$counter hits"; #print number of hits to users screen


open (PUTCOUNT,">count.log"); #open count log for output
print PUTCOUNT ($counter); #replace old counter value with new one
close PUTCOUNT; # close access to file


#******** END BODY *********


still got error..

Any suggestion?

Thanks,

[zhao]

I had the same problem, but your solution outputs the following on the html page:

Error 200
OK

Is there a way around this, or is every page with SSI going to have this header?

[pluckydsheep]

The CGI file included with SSI must output valid HTML content -- hence, the internal server error. My script didn't output anything. I wrote the following line on line 1 of the included script:

print "Content-type: text/html\015\012\015\012\n\n";

Since this outputs valid HTML, but doesn't output any characters, it doesn't write text to the page and satisfies the requirements for the #exec command. I've been wondering about this for a long time -- hope it helps somebody else.

I just read a few of the posts and i may have missed it somewheres but where do we find the config file for this surver so we can use SSI and Can we use it. Can you give me some more info about it.

You use the admin console for all server configuration.

sdigest,

You can configure SSI parameters in the console (the config file is for the machine, the console is for humans.) There is also a full chapter about SSI in the user's manual of Abyss Web Server.
