SSI in apache and cgi scripts

SSI in apache and cgi scripts

[Raul A. Gallegos]

Hi.  I've enabled SSI in httpd.conf per the manual the comments in said
file.  I've put a .cgi script, for now just something that prints hello.
The content of the script is:

#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "Hello";

I've also put the correct include and exec statement in a document called
test.shtml and the text still will not come up.

Is there something I should look for considering all these factors?  The
scripts lives in /usr/lib/cgi-bin which is the default for debian.  I call
the script with

<!--#include virtual="/cgi-bin/test.cgi" -->

Still nothing.

I thought SSI's were limitted to special defines in Apache; I didn't
you could create your own.  But What do I know? my Apache experience
is a bit dim yet.  I thought CGI bins had to be invoked directly from
HTML pages or form action post or such.  Of course, PHP simply is
embedded in HTML and the PHP stuff needs to be enabled in httpd.conf
but that's probably beyond the scope of this message:).
