This file is saved as server_info.cgi and put in cgi-bin directory under the path "C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\cgi-bin" and this path is configured in httpd.conf file in apache server under the scriptAlias parameter.

When I send a request "http://localhost/cgi-bin/server_info.cgi" I get the error message "500 Internal Server Error". So whats wrong in here ?

In reply to CGI script gives "internal server error" by manish.rathi
