Coupla questions.

flashmemo.cgi: what language is the script in?

login.php: you're using PHP as a standalone cgi? ______________________________________________________________________

Hi

flashmemo.cgi: is a perl script

>login.php: you're using PHP as a standalone cgi?

I don't quite get it, I have installed php with apxs, here is a snipp of the virtualhost entry in the httpd.conf file:

----------Snipp-------

<VirtualHost *>
UseCanonicalName off
ServerName

http://www.example.info

ServerAlias example.info
ServerAdmin admin@example.info
DocumentRoot /var/

http://www/example

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ &quot;/var/

http://www/example/cgi-bin/&quot;

ErrorLog logs/example/error.log
CustomLog logs/example/access.log common
CustomLog logs/example/referer.log referer
CustomLog logs/example/agent.log agent
ScriptLog logs/example/script.log
ServerSignature EMail
ScriptAlias /php4/ &quot;/var/

http://www/example/php4&quot;

Action application/x-httpd-php4 &quot;/usr/local/bin/php&quot;
AddType application/x-httpd-php4 .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php4 .php3
AddType application/x-httpd-php4 .php4
<Directory &quot;/var/

http://www/example/cgi-bin&quot;>

Options +ExecCGI FollowSymLinks
</Directory>
<Directory &quot;/var/

http://www/example&quot;>

Options +ExecCGI FollowSymLinks
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

I also created a small php script like &quot;hello world&quot; and test which also resulted in the above error msgs, I took out the following entery from httpd.conf and tried it, it produces the same error msg, so looks like either theres a problem with configuration of cgi-bin in httpd.conf or php/perl executables which the scripts are not finding ??

LoadModule php4_module modules/libphp4.so

Please see if you can come up some possible resolution to this problem, I am running the same scripts on a winxp box with appache successfully, under linux I have changed the path of the executable in each script like from #!c:/perl/bin/perl.exe in winxp to #!/usr/bin/perl in linux.

Thanks for your help
