Perl and Python scripts Kenya Print

  • 0

These scripts must have 755 permissions.

Perl = .pl
Python = .py

Example perl script:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "<html><head>";
print "<title>CGI Test</title>";
print "</head><body>";
print "<p>Test page using Perl</p>";
print "</body></html>";

Example python script:

#!/usr/bin/python
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "<html><head>";
print "<title>CGI Test</title>";
print "</head><body>";
print "<p>Test page using Python</p>";
print "</body></html>";

Activate Python:

Please note that you have to add a line in the .htaccess file to use Python.

The recommended directive is:

Addhandler cgi-script .py .pl .cgi

(This directive covers Perl, Python and CGI files.)

Getting a 500 Internal Server Error?

If you are getting a 500 Internal Server Error, it is most likely caused by the lack of execute permissions. Check to make sure the your Perl or Python script file has permissions of 755.
