I've got a very simple Perl CGI script:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
# The shebang is correct, so don't write back and ask
print "print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "<html><body>\n";
print "<hr>Hello, world!<br><hr>\n";
print "</body></html>\n";
# You might recognize this code as a cut-paste
# from hellocgi.cgi bundled with Apache
The code throws a 500 Internal Server Error. I've
already made sure of the following:
- File permissions are set to 775
- The error log says nothing more than 'Premature end of script headers'
- Nothing changed with using CGI and sending errors to the screen
- If I change the path to the script I get a 404 error, so I'm certain that I'm aiming at the script
- The script works from the command line, and it runs locally through Apache--just not over my web server
My guess is that there's something that needs to be done. I pass the plate of wisdom asking for someone to tell me what to do!
Thanks,
Petras
