Tested the Apache CGI perl encountered quite a few problem and solved,
1, configure the /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
uncomment the line as:
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl
get the the access right of the CGI directory, add below lines,
<Directory “/var/www/html/cgi”>
Options +ExecCGI
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
Restart the httpd
/etc/init.d/httpd restart
mkdir /var/www/html/cgi
2, create the perl scripts, helloworld.pl and change the access condition of the perl script
chmod a+x helloworld.pl
3, (13)Permission denied: exec of ‘/var/www/html/cgi/helloworld.pl’ failed
this error caused by selinux, use the command to change folder Selinux security context:
chcon -R -t httpd_sys_script_exec_t /var/www/html/cgi
result as:
[root@localhost cgi]# ll -Z
-rwxr-xr-x. root root unconfined_u:object_r:httpd_sys_script_exec_t:s0 helloworld.pl
4, Premature end of script headers
not familiar about the perl language, not sure about the error cause, might caused by the perl command
added the below line, solved, weird,
print “Content-type: text/html\r\n\r\n”;
