hi,
i tried to enable perl execution in htdocs.

here are the changes i made to my httpd.conf file :
i changed the ScripAlias thing like this :

Code: Select all

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "C:/xampp/htdocs/"

and i also modified this :

Code: Select all

# "C:/xampp/cgi-bin" should be changed to whatever your ScriptAliased
# CGI directory exists, if you have that configured.
#
<Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs">
   Options ExecCGI
    AllowOverride None
    Options None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

finaly i touched this :

Code: Select all

AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl

and now, when i try to access a .pl script located in htdocs, i got a 403 error.

note : my shebang i ok.

Could someone please help me, i'm a bit lost

bye,

That's the only thing you must change. Don't change anything else.

thank you for quick help Wiedman.

i followed your advices and reversed

Code: Select all

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "C:/xampp/htdocs/"

to this

Code: Select all

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "C:/xampp/cgi-bin/"

i also reversed

Code: Select all

<Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs">
   Options ExecCGI
    AllowOverride None
    Options None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

to this

Code: Select all

<Directory "C:/xampp/cgi-bin">
    AllowOverride None
    Options None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

now, i obtain a 500 error. do you know how to fix this ?

thank you again,

Read the "error.log" what's the problem.

well, it is quite obscure for me. i already had done this. here are the errors :

Code: Select all

[Sun Jul 19 15:07:20 2009] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] (OS 5)Acces denied.  : couldn't create child process: 720005: archivesic.pl
[Sun Jul 19 15:07:20 2009] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] (OS 5)Acces denied.  : couldn't spawn child process: C:/xampp/htdocs/archivesic.pl


note : the script used to run on another server, the code is ok.
the shebang is good too.

any idea ?

thank you for all your help, you're very kind.

mnem0

the shebang is good too.

Shure?

How can we know that? Please, show us the shebang line (copy&paste).

here it is :

Code: Select all

#!c:\xampp\perl\bin -w

thank you for your great help

mnem0

here it is :

Should be:

Code: Select all

#!c:\xampp\perl\bin\perl.exe -w

what a lamer.
really sorry for wasting your time.
