I'm trying to get a simple hello world program to run as a cgi application on apache/linux. Just a simple old hello world program, no big deal. In the 'K Develop' compiler in RedHat 9, I create a new terminal c project. It compiles and I can run it just fine in the terminal, but I cant run it as a CGI!!!!!!! I get an internal server error Grrr!!! Can you help?

Sounds like more of a server config error than anything else. You've correct permissions set, and you've Apache set up to allow execution of C programs?

Remember also, that Apache won't be nice to your programs, and you'll have to supply the Content type header yourself:

I finally figured it out, i needed to run

chmod a+x [FILE]

and once i did, it worked just fine. It seems my C programs dont work, but my perl scripts do and they also work when I compile the perl scripts. Thanks. I hope someone finds this, because there are so many sites that have the problem on there, but tell about the server config.

I had looked at the permissions of the file and they were all OK, had execution rights, etc etc. But once I did the chmod command, it worked fine.

Thanks.
