#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Content-Type: text/plain", "\n\n";
print "Hello World in Perl", "\n";

 

http://localhost/cgi-bin/test.cgi
it has Internal Server Error

 

http://localhost/cgi-bin/
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /cgi-bin/ on this server.

internal server error shows you have a problem with your apache configuration file(httpd.conf).

 

the original uniform server has no problem running your code.

 

open your httpd.conf(/udrive/usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf) and check your cgi-bin configuration.

it should much like

 

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin "/cgi-bin/"

# "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/cgi-bin" should be changed to whatever your ScriptAliased
# CGI directory exists, if you have that configured.

<Directory "/cgi-bin/">
 AllowOverride All
 Options ExecCGI
</Directory>

 

BUT if you have no problem with your first page of uniform server and can shutdown your server using your admin panel page then there might be another problem. check your apache log file also.

this is default setting

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin "/cgi-bin/"

# "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/cgi-bin" should be changed to whatever your ScriptAliased
# CGI directory exists, if you have that configured.

<Directory "/cgi-bin/">
 AllowOverride All
 Options ExecCGI
</Directory>

<Directory "/home/admin/www/cgi-bin/">
 AllowOverride All
 Options ExecCGI
</Directory>

 

i have deleted the .htaccess file and enabled "AddHandler cgi-script .bat .exe .pl .cgi"

finally no work...

what problem?

I deleted my last post answered the wrong question. :)

 

Deleting .htaccess prevents running CGI scripts in www and its sub-folders.

 

Any scripts in cgi-bin will run with the defaults you have shown.

 

It would be interesting to see if the error log file provides a clue to the problem.

Before running the servers open error.log located in \Uniform Server\udrive\usr\local\apache2\logs delete it’s content. Save and run the servers, access your script. Now check the log file for errors.

 

What do you get?

 

All the best
