[Xitami] Perl/cgi/php

[Preston Kibbey]

when i do get the programs to work with the url then they only prompt me to download the file but does not open a page. I followed the instructions also and was again prompted to download the file instead of getting a page.

E.g. create a file called example.cgi in your cgi/bin directory with
the following contents and see if http://localhost/cgi-bin/example.cgi
produces displayable HTML or a blank screen
------- start of example.cgi ---
#!/usr/local/bin/perl

use CGI qw(:standard);

print header;
print start_html('A Simple Example'),
    h1('A Simple Example'),end_html;
------- end of example.cgi ---

(note this file works on my Xitami/Windows/Perl setup just fine).

If it does the same thing (window/blank html) then we probably need a
dump of your environment to figure out what is going wrong ...
