I am totally new to perl and to configuring web servers but I am good at following instructions in a slavish sort of way. However, after installing and configuring Apache and Perl on NT and running dbman I get Internal Server Error, etc.. I also checked the server error log and get the following very helpful message:

Premature end of script headers: c:/program files/apache group/apache/cgi-bin/dbman/db.cgi

i changed the path to perl in the original db.cgi to C:/Perl/bin/Perl.exe, so i installed an unmodified db.cgi and got this message instead:

(2)No such file or directory: couldn't spawn child process: c:/program files/apache group/apache/cgi-bin/dbman/db.cgi

can anyone help?

Are you using the latest version of Activestate's port of perl available at:

http://www.activestate.com/activeperl/

I'd also recommend reading the step by step walkthrough to make sure you've got cgi setup correctly on Apache:

I have now installed activeperl 509(instead of perl 503) and now get the following error message:


The requested URL /cgi-bin/dbman/db.cgi was not found on this server.

this is the same for every script now. i was able to run another perl script previously.

this is becoming very frustrating. i am sure that my path information is correct, but maybe not.
