I was wondering if it would be possible to install PERL on your computer. The reason I want to install PERL on my computer is so that I can test it out on my comp first before I upload the scripts onto a server? ------------------ Quality Pages designing the world professional web pages for affordable prices.

Of course it is. www.activestate.com You may want to have Mark let ya know which file it needs to be. YOu will also need to get a webserver up and running if ya want to test CGI. www.apache.com is one that I recomend. Again, someone else will have to point you to the correct file... ------------------ Da Wannabe Cannuck

Yep, you need to install Acivestate perl from here . You may also need the windows installer, which there is a link for right on that page also. I recommed you just install in the default c:perl directory. and apache (other web servers work, but PWS is a pain in the ass). Apache is simple. Get the windows binary . Your shebang will read #!c:/perl/bin/perl.exe and you call scripts up with http://localhost/cgi-bin/scriptname.cgi --mark

Yeah, they have to be in the directory you specify for Apache to use. I specified my personal folder on my computer. It holds all my scripts..

atom911, I'm not too clear on what you just said. DO you mean I have to put the scripts in the directory I installed Apache? If not, how do I specify the folder? I've already installed and download: 1. Apache 2. ActiveState PERL 3. Windows Installer I'm running Windows 98, will there be anything else that i need? ------------------ Quality Pages designing the world professional web pages for affordable prices.

YOu need to find a tutorial. You need to config apache via the httpd.conf file in the conf directory in the apache directory. YOu also need to add a few lines to it to use CGI...

You don't chmod on a windows machine. There aren't file permissions like in Unix (there are permissions, but not the same way). When you install apache, there will be a cgi-bin created in your apache directory. just put your scripts in there. Have a look at the httpd.cong file, and all the comments will guide you on your settins. default should be set to run cgi scripts, but if not, just uncomment the lines dealing with that (they're marked...just search for cgi) Move your scripts to the cgi-bin,and call http://localhost/cgi-bin/scriptname.cgi --mark

Scripts can be run in any directory I believe(you may have to set something in the httpd.conf file) I run it straight from my documents folder.
Try searching for tutorials. I think Apache may even point to a setup tutorial...

I'm not 100% sure about this but I think here's where you can http.conf to change your CGI-Bin directory to a personal one: # # ScriptAlias: This controls which directories contain server scripts. # ScriptAliases are essentially the same as Aliases, except that # documents in the realname directory are treated as applications and # run by the server when requested rather than as documents sent to the client. # The same rules about trailing "/" apply to ScriptAlias directives as to # Alias. # ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ " C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/cgi-bin/" # # "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/cgi-bin" should be changed to whatever your ScriptAliased # CGI directory exists, if you have that configured. # C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
Options None
I think that's all you have to change in the http.conf file. ------------------ Quality Pages designing the world professional web pages for affordable prices.

Ok now I've got a minor problem here. I changed the httpd.conf file to my settings (C:My Docuementscgi-bin) But now whenever I try accessing through http://localhost/cgi-bin/scriptname.cgi I get a cannot find server error. Am I supposed to type in localhost or replace that with the folder I've installed the CGI-Bin in? ------------------ Quality Pages designing the world professional web pages for affordable prices.

don't change the httpd.conf file. use the default. when you install apache it should set up most things you want.
you use localhost/cgi-bin in your url. if you want other pages, put them in the htdocs directory (your root) and then localhost/page.html
[edit..ddidnt see your post immediatly above. If you did the regular apache install and used default install directories, leave the above section as it is above where you pasted it....]

Do you have apache running? If on 98, when you start it, you'll have a dos window that needs to be minimized. if you start it and it opens then closes real quick, Apache failed to start

Yes thank you very much guys it works now, but one simple question now. When I start Apache, this is what it says: Unclean Shutdown of Apache Run?Exactly like that, and I don't have the ability to quit Apache other than clicking on the X... Not really a big deal though..... ------------------ Quality Pages designing the world professional web pages for affordable prices.

In your start menu under Apache, you should have been given a shutdown option. if not, issue apache -k shutdown

I knew setting your comp up as a web server was possible I just didn't know how to do it. After reading this post I thought I would give it a try. Sure enough I have it up and running, everything working fine. Though I would like to know how to run scripts outside of my cgi-bin. Can anyone help me there?
Also I have a static ip *shudders* mostly because dsl is not available in my area yet. either cable or anything. But to the point I would like to know if there is a way to put my current ip address on the ServerName command. I don't plan on using my comp as a full fledged web server, but editing that line every time is annoying. Is there a way I could do this with a batch file or somthing?
Thanks for all your help.

As for processing scripts outside of the cgi-bin I fixed that problem. I simply set my ScriptAlias to the same as my DocumentRoot. Everything works fine except dirrectory tree listings don't show up. Is there a way to get them to show up? or am I stuck without them?

after hours of reading i fixed that too. I just have this ip address problem. If anyone knows a variable for a dos command to show the ip of your comp I could set it up to edit the conf file and put my current ip everytime I connect, and before I started the server. if anyone knows that or where I might find such help on this I will give you a cookie ![[Linked Image]](https://ubbdev.com/ubb/smilies/wink.gif) thanks ------------------ -Twenty7 http://www.englishhouse.com/twenty7/ That game called Infantry http://infantry.nmebase.com/

Your IP address can be obtained a few ways... in your TCP/IP properties, or jumping to DOS and typing ipconfig.

I know several ways to get my ip address. But I don't know how I would do it this way. Basically what I did was used all 3 of the config files for simplicity. Here is what I have. open(LOG, ">srm.conf"); print LOG "ServerName $ipn"; close (LOG); I want to be able to replace $ip with my current ip address. I do know accessing this file via my browser I would use $ip = $ENV{'REMOTE_ADDR'}; BUT. I want to activate the script at the dos prompt. perl ip.pl when I do this the $ENV{'REMOTE_ADDR'}; variable does not work. I want to know what variable would work in its place. If there is any.

Ok ppl for everyone who needs help with Apaches httpd.conf
here is what you may need to do
httpd.conf
Find this line in the file:
#ServerName new.host.name (232)
Change the line to: ServerName localhost
Uncomment the following lines by removing the # if present:
#ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "C:/Apache/cgi-bin/" (458)
#AddHandler cgi-script .cgi (633)
#AddType text/html .shtml (638)
#AddHandler server-parsed .shtml (639)
Save the changes. You should actually read the comments for the lines you changed to understand why you did what you did. Your server should now be readly to run your Perl CGI scripts.
I hope this helps

dig, dig... wheelie, I did exactly what you said with no luck. I've read through this entire thread, it's rather confusing. Doesn anyone have a surefire way of making this work? edit: right after I posted that, I remebered that I didn't run apache.exe. BUT, theres still a problem. Now I just get an ISE 500, and the actual program gives this error: I omitted the date at the beginning of that quote. But yeah, I don't know what is wrong. ------------------ -david Choose your future.

That error means you closed the apache window without executing a proper shutdown. If the program is giving and ISE500, make sure the shebang is #!c:/perl/bin/perl.exe Apache for win has always been SO easy for me to get running on my machines. --mark
