Hi,
Hundred thanks for your great generous help.
I ve transformed my simple index.html file as follow:
<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>My Apache web server</TITLE></HEAD>
<BODY>
<P>
<FORM METHOD="post" ACTION="http://Localhost/cgi-bin/query.pl">
Enter Username
<INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="USERNAME" SIZE="25" MAXLENGTH="50" VALUE="">
</FORM></BODY></HTML>..
I ve also modified my /home/httpd/cgi-bin/query.pl file as follow
(BTW,thanks to some of you):
#!/usr/bin/perl
require ("cgi-lib.pl"); # I even tried "require cgi-lib.pl"
&ReadParse;
print <<EOF;
Content-type: text/html
$line=QUERY_STRING # I even tried "setenv QUERY_STRING USERNAME=spike
#BTW, when I do that at the command line, I get
#error=setenv:command not found. if I replace #setenv by "set: I get
no error, but the problem #still the same.
Thank you, $inf{ USERNAME }, for submitting your comments. ;
#end of /home/httpd/cgi-bin/query.pl
The problem still:
When I use my browser (Lynx), I get the expected entry:
Enter your UserName:---------------
But if I enter "spike" or anything in the blank space, There is absolutely
no reaction.. no signal of interraction with the CGI-script.
I made sure the ScriptAliases path in srm.conf pointed to the right
CGI-bin path, I even tried <FORM METHOD="post"
ACTION="home/httpd/cgi-bin/query.pl", and all posibilities in the <FORM>
Tag, made sure the cgi-script was executable...still havent tasted the
wonder of interacting CGI with my webserver.
Thanks for Helping again,
Marc
