I am setting up environment for CGI script. For that I am following this link: http://help.cs.umn.edu/web/cgi-tutorial
I have written sample CGI script in my Ubuntu environment which is hosted in other server. I am connecting this server using PuTTY. I have successfully given permission to script file and directory. Now to test it, as mentioned in above link.
Below is the code of CGI script i have used:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use CGI;
$cgi = new CGI();
print $cgi->header();
print '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>';
print '<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Perl CGI test</title>
</head>
<body>';
print '
<p>
Hello world!
</p>';
print '
</body>
</html>
';
I am opening http://www-users.cselabs.umn.edu/~ <your_username>/test-cgi.cgi in my own system in Chrome and Firefox browsers.
Below error is displayed:
Object not found!
The requested URL was not found on this server. If you entered the URL manually please check your spelling and try again.

Apache.
How should I execute it successfully?
Note: CGI script is written on server which is accessed by PuTTY and WinSCP. And I am opening test URL on my own system i.e. windows in Chrome and Firefox.
