I barely know nothing about apache and wanted to get the following cgi
script to run

Content-type: text/html


#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "Hello, World.";

I put it in CGI-bin and when I type the adress in I get the 500
Internal Sever Error. The error log gives the following

C:/OpenSA/Apache2/cgi-bin/test.cgi

This must be the first line of the script.

What did I told you?

Also, if you are on Windows, what is /usr/bin ?

I used to be interested in Windows NT, but the more I see of it the more
it looks like traditional Windows with a stabler kernel. I don't find
anything technically interesting there. In my opinion MS is a lot better
at making money than it is at making good operating systems.

Ok got rid of the other lines, now it is,

#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "Hello, World.";

I still get the error. Now the log says

C:/OpenSA/Apache2/cgi-bin/test.cgi

Yes, and my second question was: if you are on windows, what is it /usr/bin ?

NOTE: this has nothing to do with Apache nor Configuration.

What Davide is trying to do is to make you think on your own just a bit.

/usr/bin is pretty much a standard location for the perl interpreter on a
linux installation. But, you are using it on Windows. Where is your perl
interperter on YOUR machine?

I´ld say, hardly nothing ...

Using ´scriptinterpretersource Registry´
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod...erpretersource
might work for you AND, by ignoring the shebang on windows,
makes it easier to keep an unmodified script running on both windows and
linux.
