cgi-bin newbie
sorry all- a newbie question ;)
installed the following:
RH linux 7.2
apache 1.3
trying to get cgi-bin files to execute, but get "internal server error".
pretty sure its a permissions or owner issue on the directory or file.
already tried to chown directory and files to apache and chmod
directory/files to 755 - but no luck. can't figure out what else i'm
missing.
can anyone lead me in the right direction?
thanks!
rick

Make aure the folder cgi-bin has the correct permission. Are you
running the script from the default web? Or from a virtual web?

the right direction is the error log. i never used redhat, but i suppose
it's in /var/log, or maybe /var/log/apache. the file name is usually
error_log or error.log. grep your httpd.conf for the ErrorLog directive.
everything the cgi program writes on stderr goes there.
hope this helps.
pietro.
