How do I get my perl scripts to run on my apache server???
IDUMALI responds:
You have to install Perl package, which is ActivePerl for win32 platforms, and then configure your Apache installation so that it handles *.pl or whatever files you specify, and allows CGI-Perl to run.
The ActivePerl installation is the easiest part, and when you come to the Apache configuration, read the manual that follows ActivePerl installation itself. I read it and succeded, if still problems, I can send you my configuration files, but better to read, they miught not work on your system, unless you have installed everything in the same manner.
mcguire responds:
do you have the nusphere release? this one comes with php,mysql,webadmin,and perl already included and setup during installation. then after that just put your pl or cgi scripts in the nscgibin under the apache directory and change the permissions on the file ..... run it in the browser and there you go
adam responds:
you dont install perl "on" apache, if you have perl installed, make sure that you have apache configured to accept cgi scripts, and then make sure that all perl scripts are pointed to the right location on the server. It should work just fine then. It is harder than it sounds though. Keep looking throught the help sections.. you will get it.
