Perl/cgi scripts display as text; don't execute in Safari

The web tells me I have to update mod_perl. I hope there is an easy way to do it.

Info is slightly incorrect. I just upgraded (today) to OS X 10.10.1. That is when my perl/cgi scripts stopped executing in Safari. I have tried building mod_perl but the build script fails with a permissions error.

Failing to create temp file in Perl cgi script

This used to work, perhaps before the Apache 2.4 upgrade?
From the httpd error log:
AH01215: Error in tempfile() using template /tmp/XXXXXXXXXX: Could not create temp file /tmp/4VmuZsw3Wt: No such file or directory at...
Here's the offending code:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use File::Temp;
use CGI;
my $q = new CGI();
print $q->header();
print "Hi mom\n";
my( $foo, $bar ) = File::Temp::tempfile();
print $foo "Test content\n";
close( $foo );
print "Hi dad\n";
1;
If invoked from the command-line, it works as intended. Tried as users me, root and http (the Apache user).
If run as CGI script, I get this:
Hi mom
then it aborts with an HTTP 500, and emits the above message in the error log.
Before anybody asks:
drwxrwxrwt 7 root root 240 May 22 20:51 /tmp
The Apache configuration has this, which /some/path/cgi contains my above script.
ScriptAlias "/cgi" /some/path/cgi
Baffled ...

Restarting Apache fixed the issue. Ran out of file descriptors perhaps?
The question is: will it happen again?

WebLogic 6.1SP3: CGI Script Displayed, Not Processed

I've setup CGI support in my WebLogic 6.1SP3 installation, on my Solaris box. I am attempting to run a simple script that prints a message to the screen/browser. When I attempt to run the CGI script, I see the contents of the script on screen. The script is never actually processed.
Has anyone else encountered such a problem?

Hi Rick,
Just a shot in the dark, but does the script have eXecute privs? You
should ask your question in the webserver newsgroup group:
http://newsgroups.bea.com/cgi-bin/dnewsweb?cmd=xover&group=weblogic.developer.interest.webserver&utag=
Thanks,

Perl CGI script in WLS

Hi,
Does anyone have an idea how a Perl script should be registered with
WebLogic Server, so that something like "/cgi-bin/clock.pl" will
function properly (by executing the script and returning the result
produced by the execution)?
Thanks.

Have just found the information from the WebLogic web site.

LoadVariablesNum on button to access cgi script mail form

Greetings: I've used this method many times in the past to create an email form in a movie clip with a "send button" that accesses a perl, cgi script to email text input fields. It worked fine in past versions of Flash, but now I'm using Flash CS3 (v9.0, AS 2.0). I've tried 3 different cgi scripts I found online for this purpose and am sure the configurations for sendmail server & perl bins, etc are correct. All of the other "if" and "else" statements on the button work fine. But I can see a Safari (browser) error message saying POST was not used, but clearly it is. I'm trying to trouble shoot whether the problem is from the flash button or the cgi script.
Has something changed in Flash CS3 from previous versions, where I'm certain it has worked before???
Here is my button code:
on (release) {
//Make sure the user filled in all the required fields.
if (name1 ne "" and name2 ne "" and subject ne "" and email ne "") {
//Check to make sure the email address includes and @.
i = "0";
validmail = 0;
while (Number(i)<=Number(length(email))) {
if (substring(email, i, 1) eq "@") {
validmail = 1;
i = Number(i)+1;
//If there's no @ in the email go to the error page.
if (Number(validmail) == 0) {
gotoAndStop("error");
} else {
//The line below assumes the script is in the same directory as the HTML page.
loadVariablesNum("http://www.companyname.com/cgi-bin/FormMail.pl", 0, "POST");
//Go to the confirmation frame.
gotoAndStop("thankyou");
} else {
//if the user left required fields blank, show them an error message.
gotoAndStop("error");
Here is the error message I can access on Safari>window>activity:
"The HTML form fails to specify the POST method, so it would not be correct for this script to take any action in response to your request.
If you are attempting to configure this form to run with FormMail, you need to set the request method to POST in the opening form tag, like this: <form action="/cgi-bin/FormMail.pl" method="post">
Why isn't the command from the button in the Flash swf file, being recognized by the html page?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Janis

in version 6, case didn't count. after version 6, it counts.
so, gotoandPlay(3), used to work but, not now. you need to use gotoAndPlay(3).
also, undefined numeric variables were assigned a default value of 0 with flash 6 and prior. not now, they're undefined. so, watch for code like
while(var1<1){
do something
var1++;
where var1 is never initialized.
about policy files: check the security class'es loadPolicyFile() method.

How can i call a CGI script from java?

The subject pretty much says it all. I want to call a perl cgi script so i can read from/write to files on a server. I don't know how to sign applets and this would be the easiest way for me, if someone could please tell me.

Let me get this clear. Basically what u want to do is to just call a URL, right?
U can do it by using the following code:
import java.applet.*;
import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;
public class testhttp
public static void main(String[] args)
try
URL url = new URL ("http://../testcgi.cfm");
HttpURLConnection cxn =
(HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();
cxn.setRequestMethod("POST");
cxn.setUseCaches(false);
cxn.setDoOutput(true);
cxn.setDoInput(true);
ByteArrayOutputStream bytes = new
ByteArrayOutputStream(400);
PrintWriter writer = new PrintWriter (bytes,true);
writer.print("application=map&release=1&items=prog1");
writer.flush();
cxn.setRequestProperty("Content-
Length",String.valueOf(bytes.size()));
cxn.setRequestProperty("Content-
Type","application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
bytes.writeTo(cxn.getOutputStream());
System.out.println(bytes);
String currentLine;
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader (new
InputStreamReader(cxn.getInputStream(),"8859_1"));
while((currentLine = in.readLine()) != null) {
System.out.println(currentLine); }
catch(Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); }
There is also a library called HTTP client which can be found at:
http://www.innovation.ch/java/HTTPClient/index.html
It's very simple to use and the documentation is all there, but their web server seems to be down right now.
Anyway, hope my post helps.

Apache - CGI script can't read query string from STDIN

My Perl CGI script begins as follows:
if ($ENV{'REQUEST_METHOD'} eq "POST") {
read(STDIN,$in,$ENV{'CONTENT_LENGTH'});
I dumped all ENV variables at entry, and verified that REQUEST_METHOD = "POST" and CONTENT_LENGTH = 73 (which is correct). QUERY_STRING is null. After the above read statement, $in is still null. Any idea why STDIN is not providing the query string?
Thanks!

Hi--
This isn't really an answer to the question you asked, but is there a reason you aren't using the Perl CGI module? It's installed by default on OS X and makes this kind of stuff much, much easier. Just add a line like this at the top of your script:
<pre class="command">use CGI qw(:standard);</pre>Then you can get the paramaters for your script like so:
<pre class="command">my $value = param('paramname');</pre>No muss, no fuss. You can get more information at the CPAN archive page for this module.

Are servlets like cgi scripts?

hi all,
are servlets like cgi scripts?
or
they should be embedded within the html file,
thank you very much
:)

Yes, Servlets are very similar to CGI scripts -- they both run on the server and grab input from the HTTP GET or POST request, then send generated HTML back to the client browser.
Often Servlets are described as being superior to CGI scripts because each time a CGI script is run a new process must be created. However, you can run Perl CGI scripts without starting a new process (using mod_perl, for example), and therefore that claim is unfounded.

CGI Script execution

Is there a way to execute a Perl/Cgi scripts in Cold fusion Built in Server. Actually I have tested my scripts in Apache Server by putting my cgi scripts in cgi-bin but in the Coldfusion built in Server we are having does not contain a cgi-bin. So what is the alternate way that can be used to execute a cgi script in the cold fusion built in Server.

Thanks for your reply. I followed your advice, it still complains

Any ideas?

Do not ask me why, but WebLogic do not admit directories after
the cgi-bin directory at the URL. That is why he is trying to
execute the cgi script "reports".
Hope this help you.
