Apache 2.0 1

Cagliostro · Jan 13, 2003

Hi,
I want to make C++ gci programs under Apache2. I use Windows2000 proffessional. Any thing I do I get some error like it is a bad header in the .exe and in .cgi files. In my opinion it interprets .exe and .cgi files as textual scripts, same as PHP or PERL. As result does not want to execute them. Ion Filipski

The Bad header error means that your application isn't a valid CGI application. This is most oftenly caused by not outputing or outputing something before you output the Content-type header (which is the only header you are REQUIRED to send). //Daniel

could you give me a sample of such valid header? Ion Filipski

#!/usr/bin/perl

echo "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

echo "<html><body>\n"; Newposter

NewPoster, do you suggest me to put in an .exe file your header or you have not read attentive my question? Ion Filipski

Hi, Daniel,
The same .exe programs run normally in older versions of Apache, but on this version I get always this error. Is there some new fetures or bugs? Ion Filipski

It might be a Windows issue, as this simple program works fine on my Linux server just fine.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
        printf(&quot;Content-Type: text/plain\r\n\r\n&quot;);
        printf(&quot;Hi, welcome to the C application\r\n&quot;);
        return 0;
}

The trouble is what I have quite the same code. It worked fine with an older version of Apache. Sometimes this code works fine but sometime it put the Content-Type: text/html into the html just in the broswer, other times it ask me if I want to download the .exe file or to open it. The same is with PHP.

#include <iostream>
using std::cout;
using std::endl;

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
cout<<"Content-Type: text/html" <<endl <<endl;
cout<< "<html>" << endl;
cout<< "<head>"<< endl;
cout<< " <title>some title</title>"<< endl;
cout<< "</head>"<< endl;
cout<< "<body>" << endl;
cout<< " <p>some body here</p>"<< endl;
cout<< "<body>"<< endl;
cout<< "</html>" << endl;
return 0;

I think there is a misconfiguration or something like it, but I can't understand what kind of misconfiguration is
