Perl errors

[Brian McDonald]

I am having problems with FC2 apache and Perl.

I ran strace -f -e stat,stat64,open httpd

and these errors for perl came up. How do I fix?

stat64("/etc/httpd/conf.d/perl.conf", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=1827,
...}) = 0
open("/etc/httpd/conf.d/perl.conf", O_RDONLY) = 4
open("/etc/httpd/modules/mod_perl.so", O_RDONLY) = 5
open("/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.3/i386-linux-thread-multi/CORE/tls/i686/libperl.so"
, O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
stat64("/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.3/i386-linux-thread-multi/CORE/tls/i686",
0xfeeeceb0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.3/i386-linux-thread-multi/CORE/tls/libperl.so",
O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
stat64("/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.3/i386-linux-thread-multi/CORE/tls", 0xfeeeceb0)
= -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.3/i386-linux-thread-multi/CORE/i686/libperl.so",
O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
stat64("/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.3/i386-linux-thread-multi/CORE/i686", 0xfeeeceb0)
= -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.3/i386-linux-thread-multi/CORE/libperl.so",
O_RDONLY) = 5
open("/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.3/i386-linux-thread-multi/CORE/libnsl.so.1",
O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

Thank you
Brian

None of this is a problem.  This is just the dynamic linker doing its work.

Does any one have any ideas why I cannot run Perl scripts under apache.
The Perl script runs fine at the command line.

TY
Brian

I am interested in this one too for FC2.  Executes fine at the CLI but
Apache won't touch it other than displaying the target script instead of
executing it.  I've tried httpd.conf directives and .htaccess setting
+ExecCGI to no avail...must be some little permissions switch but I cannot
seem to trace it...anyone have a suggestion?

Is that still the broken Perl code you posted in the other thread?

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
print "What is your username? ";
my $username;
$username = <STDIN>;
chomp($username);
print "Hello, $username.\n";

That does not work.

Does no Perl work or your own code? without providing any useful
information (like code or which public available program you try to use
and the according error_log entries) no real answer can be given. And
what specific Apache configuration do you use? The cgi scripts are
displayed as source implies a broken httpd.conf setup.

Alexander, if I place the script I am chasing under the /var/www/cgi-bin and
do a symbolic link Apache will definitely execute the script and it works.
Even doing a <Directory> container for the directory I want to execute perl
scripts in does not work so it seems like am AllowOveride somewhere is
killing CGI execution in any directory but /var/www/cgi-bin.  I will
continue chasing there...but suggestions are gladly received.  ;-)

Brian, try doing what I did...place the script in /var/www/cgi-bin, adjust
the permissions and ownership as needed and Sym Link it to where you want it
in where your pages are served from.  I bet it will work...I'd bet we're
chasing the same issue here.

I'm sure the original OP has already done this, but
since I've been bitten by this a few times I thought
I'd mention it - after making changes to httpd.conf
don't forget to restart the webserver before trying
your page again :)

Yes, it sounds like a misconfiguration. Please see

http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/howto/cgi.html

for details about CGI setup with Apache2. If you have specific questions
feel free to ask. I think in your case you want something like

<Directory /path/to/somedir>
Options +ExecCGI
</Directory>

It sounds like there might be some configuration errors, and possibly
some file location/permission problems.  Post your config w/o
comments, and we might be able to give a little more directed
solution.
