ENV(SERVER_URL) is NULL

burra_ramakanth has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi everyone, I am trying to open a perl file from a html page but only seeing a blank page as an output. When I analysed the code, I found that the ENV(SERVER_URL) is having value NULL. Can anyone please suggest, where does this environment variable get assigned and what should I do going forward? Many thanks for your kind help in advance Regards, Ramakanth

What does one part of your problem (your program) have to do with the other part (your environment)? Please reduce your program to a self-contained program that we can run, no longer than 20 lines. Then look in the webserver error log for the errors your webserver records when running that program.	[reply]

Can anyone please suggest, where does this environment variable get assigned Usually I remember all environment variables in this world, and knowing also all applications, I know exactly where they are set. In this case, I somehow forgot ... but maybe you can have a look here: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=SERVER_URL -- Ronald Fischer <ynnor@mm.st>	[reply] [d/l]
