CVS Monitor help needed on Solaris

[Anonymous]

Hello, I am running into issue with installing CVS monitor on solaris 7. I have installed the following components:

Apache 1.3.27 (configured to run cgi perl scritps)
perl 5.8.0
gd-1.8.4
GD-1.41 perl module
Bundle::CVSMonitor for perl

The problem I am running into is that I can't execute the setup.pl script from the webbrowser. I am trying to access the script as follows:

http://localhost/cgi-bin/cvsmonitor/setup.pl

However, I am getting "Internal Server Error" on my webpage and the following error in the apache error log:

[Mon Sep 29 12:12:05 2003] [error] (2)No such file or directory: exec of /usr/local/apache/cgi-bin/cvsmonitor/setup.pl failed
[Mon Sep 29 12:12:05 2003] [error] [client 10.56.26.25] Premature end of script headers: /usr/local/apache/cgi-bin/cvsmonitor/setup.pl

Please help!! I've been working on this for the past week.

Thanks in advance!!

I just installed CVS Monitor on two Solaris hosts.

The most likely causes of your problem:

1)  the script itself isn't executable
2)  the path to Perl in its header is wrong

My money (0 Eurocents) is on 2.
An easy way to correct the headers of all Perl
scripts in a given directory is

  cd <that directory> && rightperl *

where "rightperl" can be found at

  http://www.win.tue.nl/~rp/util/rightperl

An alternative is to use

  http://www.win.tue.nl/~rp/util/envperl

If you don't want to run them directly, at least you can look at the code (they're trivial) to see what needs to be done.

Thank you for your help!! You were right, the path to perl within the script was wrong!!

I appreciate your help!!
