cgi-bin

I am working with a colleague to set up their local environment on a MAC in XAMPP, on windows my vhost looks like the one below. When I access a URL like http://domain.local/cgi-bin/handler.php the web server processes the PHP correctly but on his we get a 500 server error and this message... The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request. Error message: Premature end of script headers: We tried changing the name of the cgi-bin folder to something else as I noticed there was another alias in httpd.conf but this had no effect...so it seems to me like the issue

I have a Perl script that is called either via Apache or on the command-line. For testing purposes, I pass it the username I want the Perl script to operate with, and use POSIX::setuid to set the uid . If I run the script from the command line, then the uid is set properly: use CGI::Pretty qw/:standard/; use POSIX qw(setuid getuid); ... my ($pwName, $pwCode, $pwUid, $pwGid, $pwQuota, $pwComment, $pwGcos, $pwHome, $pwLogprog) = getpwnam($username); if ((defined $pwUid) && (getuid() == $pwUid)) { setuid($pwUid); print header; print Dumper $<; } else { print header(-status => 401); print "Could

The documentation for the OS module does not seem to have information about how to open a file that is not in a subdirectory or the current directory that the script is running in without a full path. My directory structure looks like this. /home/matt/project/dir1/cgi-bin/script.py /home/matt/project/fileIwantToOpen.txt open("../../fileIwantToOpen.txt","r") Gives a file not found error. But if I start up a python interpreter in the cgi-bin directory and try open("../../fileIwantToOpen.txt","r") it works. I don't want to hard code in the full path for obvious portability reasons. Is there a set

I'm trying to set up a python script in cgi-bin that simply returns a header with content-type: image/png and returns the image. I've tried opening the image and returning it with print f.read() but that isn't working. EDIT: the code I'm trying to use is: print "Content-type: image/png\n\n" with open("/home/user/tmp/image.png", "r") as f: print f.read() This is using apache on ubuntu server 10.04. When I load the page in chrome I get the broken image image, and when I load the page in firefox I get The image http://localhost/cgi-bin/test.py" cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

I've just started learning Python, and I'm pretty lost right now. I want to run my script on my server that is hosted through hosting24.com. Their FAQ says they support Python, but I have no clue where to put my script for it to run. There is a folder called cgi-bin in my root, I'm guessing that is where I put my script? Can someone explain to me how this works? Carlos Very simply, you can rename your Python script to "pythonscript.cgi". Post that in your cgi-bin directory, add the appropriate permissions and browse to it. This is a great link you can start with. Here's another good one. Hope

I've got this really strange request for an invalid URL on: Invalid URL: /cgi-bin/1st.cgi This is causing the following error: SEVERE: Exception initializing page context java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot create a session after the response has been committed at org.apache.catalina.connector.Request.doGetSession(Request.java:2381) at org.apache.catalina.connector.Request.getSession(Request.java:2098) at org.apache.catalina.connector.RequestFacade.getSession(RequestFacade.java:833) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequestWrapper.getSession(HttpServletRequestWrapper.java:216) at org.apache

I am trying to retrieve POST data from html form using program written in C. At the moment I am using: char *formdata = getenv("QUERY_STRING"); if(formdata == NULL) /* no data retrieved */ This seems to be working fine with form "GET" method but not with "POST" method. How do I retrieve POST data? POST data is appended to the request header, after a double newline. In a CGI-BIN environment, you read it from STDIN. Be warned that the server IS NOT REQUIRED to send you an EOF character (or some termination indicator) at the end of the POST data. Never read more than CONTENT_LENGTH bytes. If I
