run cgi scripts on x10hosting

[kl2217]

Hi,
I have trouble to get the cig scripts working.

My scripts are test.cgi:

#!usr/bin/perl

my $var = 'this is pure perl';
print "$var\n";

The file is located in public_html/cig-bin/test.cgi

when I try to access the page with url:http://kl2217.x10hosting.com/cgi-bin/test.cgi

I get the error:
Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@kl2217.x10hosting.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Any idea how to fix it?

It would help if you used #!/usr/bin/perl instead of #!usr/bin/perl

I would recommend using the extension pl over cgi, but it's your choice. Also remember to send an HTTP header of "Content-Type: text/html".

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

my $var = 'this is pure perl';
print "$var\n";

Also, for whatever reason, /cgi-bin/*.* doesn't default to execute, so you'll need to edit the permissions for test.pl
