Moved from Windows IIS to Apache Linux...javascript not working now

[Trekkie]

Hi,

I have a website that worked fine under Windows IIS until I moved it to RH 3.0 with Apache 1.3.31. Now, my javascript is not working...

My index.htm

<script language="JavaScript1.2" fptype="dynamicanimation" src="myscript.js"></script>


Apache Error log:

(8)Exec format error: exec of /home/domain/cgi-bin/myscript.js failed
Premature end of script headers: /home/domain/cgi-bin/myscript.js

I did "chmod 755 myscript.js"

I'm not a javascript developer so I don't know if you need to do any changes to the script.

I appreciate any advice

T.k.

It sounds like Apache is trying to run those JavaScript files rather than just sending them to the browser.

As a first step, a chmod of 644 would probably be more appropriate for the file.

src="myscript.js"></script>

is not going to work unless there exists some sort of Windows scripting Host on the Linux, which probably does not exist.

cdlvj, I believe what you said is incorrect.

That directive is supposed to tell the browser to load the client side JS script from a separate URL. Much the same way a CSS can be inline or in its own file. I use that sometimes to segregate my JS from server side code.

Reference:

http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_script.asp

src URL Defines a URL to a file that contains the script (instead of inserting the script into your HTML document, you can refer to a file that contains the script)
