Perl web support on Ubuntu 8.10 Server
I had this project where we need to add PERL support in a website folder called cgi-bin. Here is how I got it working and what changes I need to to make.
Install PERL if not already installed.
apt-get install perl |
Apache configuration: load the following in the apache mods-enabled
cd /etc/apache2/mod-enabled ln -s ../mods-available/perl.conf ln -s ../mods-available/perl.load |
Website configuration:
<VirtualHost *:80> ServerName www.YOURHOST.com ServerAdmin name@YOURHOST.com DocumentRoot "/home/USER/WEB_root" DirectoryIndex index.html index.php default.php index.htm ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/YOURHOST_error_log # information in here ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/USER/WEB_root/cgi-bin/ <Directory /home/USER/WEB_root/cgi-bin/> Options ExecCGI AddHandler cgi-script cgi pl </Directory> # Rest of your information </VirtualHost> |
