WampServer

Hi o/

Im having trouble configurating perl on my server, i got the newest wamp and perl-addon installed, but i cant seem to open .pl documents :/

I'l attach a screenshots:

And my HTTPD config file:
[rapidshare.de]

If you could contact me by email Cturfors@gmail.com (i check it a few times a day) and/or you contact me on MSN: Cturfors [at] hotmail [dot] com
IRC: Qnet, nick: FrontSlash


ANY help is welcomed.

With greetings from sweden, o/

open up your apache httpd.conf and find:

# Note that "MultiViews" must be named *explicitly* --- "Options All"
# doesn't give it to you.
#
# The Options directive is both complicated and important. Please see
# [httpd.apache.org]
# for more information.
#

Options Indexes FollowSymLinks


Change 'Options Indexes FollowSymLinks' to:

Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes +ExecCGI

Save the file, restart apache, and perl should be working now. The '+ExecCGI' option tells apache to allow perl in your www folder.

Thanks! It seems to work now, cause now i get a different errormessage (I know i am an noob when it comes to stuff like this :<
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /config.pl on this server.
Apache/2.0.55 (Win32) PHP/5.1.2 Server at localhost Port 80
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Is it just an apache setting i have to change? Or is it something a bit more dificult?

With greetings from sweden, o/

Make sure you have the correct location to perl at the top of the perl script:

#!C:\wamp\perl\bin\perl.exe

Meh!

>_<

I dont get **** about this >_<

There are alot of .pl files in the site im trying to use.

It SHOULD work the way ive configured it >_<

If you or someone else would take a look at the files im posting down below i would be grateful :/

Ive deleted all the sensetive information such as MySQL pass and username (which i dont get anyhow )

The attached file is namned Help.rar, and includes my httpd.conf and the whole script folder. The Wakaba.pl is the indexfile and the config.pl is the configuration.
If you would point out any errors i did i would be very gratefull.
Attached files:
[rapidshare.de]

PS. This is the first time ive used any script's, and its a school project :/

ok, I took a look at your httpd.conf file, found this:
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "c:/wamp/Apache2/cgi-bin/"

This means you need to put your perl files in this folder to get them to work:
C:\wamp\Apache2\cgi-bin

Then use this to access them:
[localhost]

Ok, that much covered, but now when i write [localhost] wich is the correct path and name i get this error message:

500 Internal Server Error (The header)

Im seriously thinking that this might be over my head

please post your apache error log here. also, try to change the extention of your files from .pl to .cgi and see if that works.

Tried changing it into .cgi, same error still though :/

here is the error log for apache:

The last lines are when i tried to access wakaba.pl and wakaba.cgi today, and got the same error as in my last post.

an't locate DBI.pm in @INC (@INC contains: C:/wamp/perl/lib C:/wamp/perl/site/lib .) at C:/wamp/Apache2/cgi-bin/wakaba.pl line 6.

this means the script can not find the dbi perl module


"Premature end of script headers: wakaba.cgi"

This might help to sove this problem, use this in the beginning of all your cig and perl files:
#!C:\wamp\perl\bin\perl.exe -w

Im still getting the exact same error :/

First lines of the wakaba.pl script:

#!C:\wamp\perl\bin\perl.exe -w

use strict;

use CGI;
use DBI;
