Hi,

After setting up Fedora Core 7 on my machine, ran apache with its
default configuration.
Somehow can't get the cgi scripts to run. The error_log file indicates
the following error :

Tue Jun 05 10:02:36 2007] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] (8)Exec format
error: exec of '/var/www/cgi-bin/route.cgi' failed
[Tue Jun 05 10:02:36 2007] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Premature end of
script headers: route.cgi

This script runs fine on the command interpreter and has worked fine
previously with other . The permissions seem to be okay. Read and
Execute access is granted to Group and Others for files within the cgi-
bin directory. Is there anything else i should be looking out for ?
The script is given below :

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use CGI;

my $ROUTE = 'cat /proc/net/route';
my $q = new CGI;
local *PIPE ;
open PIPE, "$ROUTE |" ;
print "Content-type: text/plain\n\n";
print while <PIPE> ;
close PIPE;

These are the relavant portions of the httpd.conf file

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/var/www/cgi-bin/"

#
# "/var/www/cgi-bin" should be changed to whatever your ScriptAliased
# CGI directory exists, if you have that configured.
#
<Directory "/var/www/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
Options None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

Somewhere there needs to be an:

Options ExecCgi


Have you tried that, or even a simple "hello world" script instead a
complex script?

It worked with a simpler script. Don't think the server had
permissions to execute to read the route file.
