从HTML运行CGI脚本

Question

I have an HTML form like so:

<form method="post" action="./cgi-bin/login.cgi">

Clicking the submit button of this form should run the CGI file, but it displays the CGI file in the browser instead. Here are the contents of login.cgi:

#!/bin/sh java Login

This is all running on an Apache-Tomcat server.

What am I missing? Do I need to specifically configure the server to run CGI?

Answer 1

Your server is probably not configured to run cgi scripts.

AddHandler cgi-script cgi pl
<Directory /path/to/cgi/files>
    Options +ExecCGI
</Directory>

Also, Make sure that apache loading the cgi module in httpd.conf

LoadModule cgi_module modules/mod_cgi.so
