In order to use SSI, utilize the following format. Be sure that there are
no spaces, except between the words "include" and virtual," and that the line
is not indented.
This is a common error found in a Web browser when you are
attempting to run a Perl or CGI script that has problems.
The three most common reasons for this error are the following:
Your script permissions are set wrong. Try setting them to
777 temporarily while troubleshooting the error.
Your script was uploaded in binary file format instead of
ASCII. You must upload Perl and CGI scripts in ASCII
format only.
Your path to Perl line is wrong. The very first line in your
Perl program must be "#!/usr/bin/perl". You cannot have
any spaces between your characters, and you cannot have
any hard returns or text lines before this line.
If none of these three reasons correct your errors, then you
may want to take a look at your Error Log files. If the
script is coded to print the errors it encounters, these
will be displayed in your Error Log file of your server.
If all else fails, you can usually find the script errors
by logging in to your server via Telnet and running the
script from the command line. Once you are logged into
the server, you must change directories until you are
in the one in which your script resides. At that point,
type the following at the command line:
perl filename.cgi -w
Note: There should be one space after the word "perl". "filename.cgi"
should be the actual filename of the script you are having
problems with. "-w" is a warning switch, this will prompt
Perl to give you any errors it sees in the script and it
will give the line number that the error is on or near.
When adding new files such as CGI, Perl, etc. it is necessary
to set specific permissions for the script to work.
The UNIX directory and file structure has a system of permissions.
You have permission to read a file, you have permission
to write to a file, and finally, you have permission
to execute a file. However, you are not always
you. Unix splits identities into three categories.
The first is you, the owner of the file. The second
is the group you belong to. And third, others
is the world, basically anyone who comes to your website.
To change permissions you must issue a "change mode command",
or more commonly referred to as the UNIX command "chmod".
The documentation for your file or script will usually
come with the proper permissions you need to set for your
program to work. To set permissions, there are basically
2 methods UNIX recognizes.
With FTP (and Telnet) your file properties are shown as
-rwxr-xr-x.
The first space designates if this is a directory by the
letter "d".
The next three characters designate the permissions for
the "owner", r = read, w = write, and x = execute if the
permission is set to "on" and "-" is the permission is
set to off.
Permissions for the "group" and "world" (other) are designated
by characters 5-7 and 8-10 respectively.
The second method we are calling the alpha method because
permissions are set, by way of a telnet session, using
alpha characters. You simply specify with the group or
groups whose settings you want to change ("u" represents
"user" or you, "g" represents "group", "o" represents
other or world and "a" represents "all") and all the settings
you want to change ("r" for read access, "w" for write
access, and "x" for execute access). To set your file
world-writable, you would type "chmod o+w ".
To set it executable to everyone, you would use "chmod
a+x <filename>". The plus sign indicates you're
adding permissions. You can use a minus sign to remove
permissions.
