[users@httpd] Can't load .JS file into Perl/CGI script.
Hello,
I've built an app with Perl (5.8)/CGI, Javscript, and CSS. Its running on a
Windows XP Home (development box) using Apache 2. It is being handled by
mod_perl 2 with no errors.
My problem is that I can't load .JS files into Perl/CGI scripts running out
of the cgi-bin directory using the '<script SRC=' method. I can't load a
.JS file from a supra-, the cgi-bin, or a sub- directory. I have no problem
loading a .JS file in this way into a process executing out of the root
directory - the parent to the cgi-bin directory. I'm thinking I have not
done something needed in the Apache HTTPD? Can anyone help me. Thanks in
advance.
Respectfully,
craigt

Thanks again Dragon. When I tried to load the js file directly via the
browser, it showed the problem.
I had to adapt my quoting in the .JS file to work with the new loading
approach.

As I said in my original post, you cannot have these files served
from anywhere under the cgi-bin directory if Apache is configured to
execute files in that directory as CGI scripts, (which it appears it
is from what you say above).
I would suggest making a directory under your document root directory
for these js files and serve them from there.
Does your server properly send a static HTML file from the document
root directory or any subdirectories?
What happens if you try to load the js file directly via the browser
(not as part of a script tag, just type the url of the js file in the
browser)?

Thanks for responding Dragon. I added the JavaScript mime type to the HTTPD
file. I restarted the server and tried to load the external JavaScript
file into the .CGI process from the supra-directory (root) and a
subdirectory to the cgi-bin directory. The load from the root did not
work. The load from the subdirectory tried to work but attempted to
execute the .JS file like a Perl/CGI program according to the Apache log.
The content type is given as below.
<script type='text/JavaScript' src='js/rnd.js'></script>
I need more guidance.
Thanks again.

Your http server is probably configured to run anything in the
cgi-bin directory as a CGI script. So what is probably happening is
that the server is attempting to execute these js files and failing.
If that is the case, you should see log entries in the error log
regarding these failures.
You need to serve these files out of a different directory and you
also need to make sure that the mime type for them is properly
configured. This is because the server must serve them and not
execute them and the browser should be given the correct content type
when the file is served.
