Greetings everyone, Got a small problem. I have APache running on a test server at home, with perl and mysql. So far, so good. Now, I want to add perl/cgi capability, so I can run a couple of perl scripts that I wrote a long time ago. Anyhoo, the scripts run ok from the command line, except for the fact that they don't have an http request string to use in the environment variable -- the point is, the perl interpreter says everything is ok with the scripts. However, Apache will simply not run my scripts from my user directory! I even created a really simple script, to see if Apache was barfing on something within the script in spite of perl itself saying it was ok. Apache won't even run a simple perl script. The error is the infamous, "Premature end of script headers". Scripts seem to run fine in /home/httpd/cgi-bin/, but not in my home directory (/home/user/www/cgi-bin/, where 'www' is set up as the UserDir). As far as I can tell, I have things configured to allow user cgi's in /home/user/www/cgi-bin/. Why won't Apache run scripts from my home web directory??? I can copy the relevant parts of the config files if anyone deems it necessary. Otherwise, I am hoping I can simply get a pointer to some docs or other help, as I have run out of ideas.
