I am trying to run a binary via the common gateway interface (cgi-bin). But whenever I try to access http://localhost/cgi-bin/binary from my browser I get HTTP 500 Internal error, with the following log entry in /var/log
[Sat May 26 15:31:55 2012] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] malformed header from script. Bad header=HTTP_HOST=localhost: binary
L.E.: This doesn't seem to happen if the cgi-bin object is a php script or python.
On
Try this.
`#!/usr/pkg/bin/perl
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "<HTML>\n";
print "<BODY>\n";
print "<H1>Hello, world!</H1>\n";
print "</BODY>\n</HTML>";`
And make sure the 1st line #!/usr/pkg/bin/perl is also very important for it should fit your perl default directory.
You can use $ whereis perl to find the directory.
Make sure at the beginning of your code you output at least:
Content-type: text/html\n\n
