| Perl CGI - Testing if Perl CGI works |
| If you are having issues with Perl CGI files and you suspect that the server is to blame, you can try the following test. 1) Create a regular text file and call it test.cgi. 2) In the text file, enter the following lines: #!/usr/bin/perl print "Content-type: text/htmlnn"; print "Hello world!n"; 3) Save the file and upload it to your public_html or www Root folder. 4) Unix/Linux users: Make sure the permissions are set to 755. 5) Go to http://yourdomainname.com/test.cgi (do not forget to replace yourdomainname.com with your domain name) When you go to the URL in step 5, you should see the words "Hello World!". Note: Step 5 will work as long as the domain name is resolving and the test.cgi is in the public_html or www Root folder with appropriate permissions. |
