RE: [cobalt-users] Unable to run CGI on a Qube2

["Paul Alcock" <webmgr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

forgive my ignorance, but why do you have the /w at the start of the cgi
script?
all of my cgi's start with #!/usr/bin/perl

(OBTW you'll upset a few people posting with html! switch to good ol plain
text format!)

Subject: [cobalt-users] Unable to run CGI on a Qube2


I'm trying to move some working CGI scripts to a Qube2. For now, I've
created the "site" under a normal user directory (e.g.,
/<domain>/users/<user>/<website>) with all scripts living in a "cgi-bin"
subdirectory. All the scripts correctly begin w/ #!/usr/bin/perl (which is
the location of Perl - verified by "whereis"). The cgi-bin directory and all
contents have been set to 755 (through chmod). I've verified this as well -
in fact, here's the ls -l output:

-rwxr-xr-x   1 brendan  httpd       17744 May 15  1999 Internet.pm
-rwxr-xr-x   1 brendan  httpd         834 Feb 12 11:04 dellog.pl
-rwxr-xr-x   1 brendan  httpd        4515 Feb 12 11:04 get.pl
-rwxr-xr-x   1 brendan  httpd        1137 Feb 12 11:04 signout.pl
-rwxr-xr-x   1 brendan  httpd        1745 Feb 12 11:32 status.pl
-rwxr-xr-x   1 brendan  httpd        3595 Feb 12 11:04 viewlog.pl
-rwxr-xr-x   1 brendan  httpd       13120 Feb 12 11:05 webmailer.pl

However, whenever I attempt to run one of these scripts, I get the following
error:

CGIWrap encountered an error while attempting to execute this script:
Error Message: No such file or directory
Error Number: 2
This message usually indicates there is a problem with the script itself.
The owner of the script needs to check the #! line for correctness.

(For this specific case, the "website" is named "Aleia" and the "domain",
since I'm on a LAN only at present, is "home". The executing URL is:
http://qube.home/users/brendan/Aleia/cgi-bin/status.pl.)

Any thoughts? Suggestions? Further questions?
