Apache Friends Support Forum

Just installed xampp, and patch2, and the perl addon. My webserver is accessible and PHP seems to work fine.
Attempting to run perl scripts (Kareha) causes error "Can't locate config.pl in @INC (@INC contains: . C:/xampp/perl/site/lib/ C:/xampp/perl/lib C:/xampp/perl/site/lib C:/xampp/apache)"
I added +ExecCGI to options, and AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl
What do I need to do?

Can you go to http://localhost/cgi-bin/cgi.cgi and what do you see?

Can you go to http://localhost/cgi-bin/perltest.cgi and what do you see?

Can you go to http://localhost/cgi-bin/prntenv.pl and what do you see?

You added the above to where exactly?

What does this mean?

Any clues in the apache\logs\error.log file?

Any issues with your Kareha script especially installation and configuration etc. can be found here:
http://wakaba.c3.cx/docs/docs.html#KarehaScript

This forum is for XAMPP issues and if the above perl test location questions above give satisfactory answers then there is no issues with your perl addon installation.

Okay, CGI with MiniPerl is ready ..., and "Object not found!" respectively.

To httpd.conf

I do not know what that error message means.

Sorry, typo - should be http://localhost/cgi-bin/printenv.pl

notmyusername wrote:To httpd.conf

What does that mean? where exactly I asked.

BTW you don't need to add anything to the httpd.conf file as what you added already exists in the correct location.

I don't see the full error message from your apache\logs\error.log file.


Make sure the first line (Shebang) of all your perl scripts *.pl *.cgi have the correct path to perl:
#!"C:\xampp\perl\bin\perl.exe"

That last test script runs fine now.
The error message is:

Code: Select all

[Mon Mar 02 20:45:12 2009] [error] Can't locate config.pl in @INC (@INC contains: . C:/xampp/perl/site/lib/ C:/xampp/perl/lib C:/xampp/perl/site/lib C:/xampp/apache) at C:/xampp/htdocs/kareha/kareha.pl line 8.\nBEGIN failed--compilation aborted at C:/xampp/htdocs/kareha/kareha.pl line 8.\n

It fails when trying to load config.pl, and that happens even if I have NO hashbang in kareha.pl, whether I am working with my own kareha settings or the defaults. Config.pl doesn't actually contain executable code, it just sets variables. And it is in the same directory as kareha.pl, which is searching for it by name only. Even if I drop them in /cgi-bin/.

Config.pl ... is in the same directory as kareha.pl,

Disable mod_perl with "setup_xampp.bat".

Thanks, this did it.
