Re^2: CGI configuraton

hi friend,

In my system there is no /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf. It has located in /etc/apache2/httpd.conf. How can I configure this ?

I have discussed with my friend, He said , you should enable the CGI module in apache, If u enable this then it will have mod-perl package.

I don't know how to enable this.. How can I run the CGI in my system.

I want to learn frds.. Can any one plzz tell me to run the CGI script in my system.

Thanks you frds..

Please read the Apache webserver documentation. This is not a Perl issue.	[reply]

Well, first of all, you're editing the wrong file for Ubuntu. Ubuntu uses a virtual hosts system and you'll want to add the directory section to the file for the virtual host, which will be in the /etc/apache2/sites-available directory. I highly recommend you read the Ubuntu Server Guide on Apache2. Second is, directory names shouldn't have a trailing slash. Not a big deal, but maybe you would like to see a nice Apache Tutorial to help get the commands right. Also, I'm not sure it matters but I use +ExecCGI rather than ExecCGI. CGI and mod_perl are very different things. Apache2 on Ubuntu comes with CGI enabled and turned on for /usr/lib/cgi-bin, you can skip all this and just drop your script in that directory. Setting up mod_perl on Ubuntu isn't difficult but you'll need to install the mod_perl package and then a2enmod it. Search the Ubuntu site, I'm sure they have a guide somewhere.	[reply]
