Server error!

The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request.

Error message:
Premature end of script headers: test-cgi

If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.

Maybe ask the webmaster (see the error message)? ;-)

Something in the Apache "error.log"?

Code: Select all
[Mon Nov 30 02:09:50 2009] [error] [client ::1] (13)Permission denied: exec of '/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/cgi-bin/test-cgi' failed

That was the test-cgi that came with xampp download
also on another file
Code: Select all
[Mon Nov 30 02:14:33 2009] [error] [client ::1] (13)Permission denied: exec of '/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/perl/cgi-bin/welcome.cgi' failed

[Mon Nov 30 02:14:34 2009] [error] [client ::1] Premature end of script headers: welcome.cgi


so yeah, not sure whats going on here

here maybe this will help its the code from the welcome.cgi
Code: Select all
#!/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/bin/perl
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
use CGI qw(:standard);

use strict;

print "<HTML>\n";
print "<head>\n";
print "<title>Welcome to Perl</title>\n";

print "<style type='text/css'>\n";
print "body {background-color:lightgreen}\n";
print "</style>\n";

print "</head>";
print "<BODY>\n";

print "<br/><br/><br/><br/>\n";
print "<h2 align='center'>Northcentral Technical College</h2>\n";
print "<h3 align='center'>Welcome to Perl, Course #107-233</h2>\n";
print "<h5 align='center'>Student: Matt M</h5>\n";

print "<a href='/../../index.html'>Back</a>";

Well, heres a fun fact, when i change the filetype from .cgi to .pl

Hey! it works!

... anyways to complete that functionality, add recognition of .cgi to the files? Otherwise i guess i will be going with .pl from now on

I'm not sure, but maybe it could be done with a AddType line in httpd.conf.
Example:
Code: Select all
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3 .php4


Hm, in my XAMPP-installation (v1.0.1) I also see this line:
Code: Select all
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl

I have no experience with Perl or cgi-scripts, so I'm not sure what will work.

Hmm well i think the file we would need to do that is the httpd-xampp.conf
Code: Select all
<IfDefine PHP>
LoadModule php5_module        modules/libphp5.so
</IfDefine>
LoadModule perl_module        modules/mod_perl.so

Alias /phpmyadmin "/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/phpmyadmin"

               fe80::/10 169.254.0.0/16

    ErrorDocument 403 /error/XAMPP_FORBIDDEN.html.var
</LocationMatch>

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3 .php4

That seems like the right one to me...
