Re: [Ssh-sftp-perl-users] Problems with CGI scripts

[Ian D. <Ian...@bd...>]

Hi

In general you can post it, it may not be the correct forum and you may
get no answer. A simple google would find more appropriate places to
post your request, such as
http://forums.tutorialized.com/perl-and-cgi-90/

 

However having said that, it sounds like your problem is that the
location (cgi-bin) is not configured to run perl scripts, or does not
recognise the .pl extension as a script (try naming it sree.cgi) or some
other reason. This may be enough to get you started, if not other forums
may be better suited.

 

You need to provide as much information as you can when you ask for
help.

 

*         What operating system you are running on

*         What web server are you using (apache, IIS, etc)

*         What error messages you get, if any.

*         What you expected to happen (you did this)

*         What actually happened (you did this)

*         What you have tried already (you did this)

 

Try what I recommended, if this does not work provide me (off-list not
copied to the list) and I will see if there is anything else you can
try.

 

Regards

Ian

Subject: [Ssh-sftp-perl-users] Problems with CGI scripts

 

Hi ,

I don't know whether I can post this question in this forum . I have a
problem with CGI Scripts .

I am trying to execute a script using <a
href="cgi-bin/sree.pl">Hello</a>

When I click "Hello" it is asking to save / open file sree.pl .

Even I tried giving 755 permissions to sree.pl

Please suggest me the solution .

Regards,
SreeHari Ch
